Fenerbahçe vs. Ankaragücü: Prediction
In the last 3 matches, Fenerbahçe, despite creating goal opportunities, managed to convert only one into a goal and aims to break this streak of bad luck. In the match against Başakşehir, which they won 1-0, the yellow-navy team set a Turkey record by playing 70 times in the opponent’s penalty area, but they couldn’t capitalize on 5 clear goal-scoring chances.
Fred, who is injured, and Oosterwolde, who is suspended due to a yellow card, will not play for Fenerbahçe. In their places, Krunic, transferred from Milan, and Alexander Djiku, returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, will be in the lineup.
In our opinion, Fenerbahçe will not relinquish the lead by utilizing their home advantage and the support of their fans to defeat Ankaragücü.
Prediction: Fenerbahçe will win.
