Başakşehir vs. Fenerbahçe: Prediction

Last Sunday, Fenerbahçe surprisingly drew 1-1 with Samsunspor in a match where they could have scored 5 goals at their own home, and they cannot tolerate a point loss.

Fred, who got injured in the Samsunspor match last Sunday, which we predict to be challenging, will not be available for the tough match against Başakşehir.

Our prediction: Despite having absences, Fenerbahçe, with its extensive squad and stars, will overcome Başakşehir and maintain its leadership.
