Antalyaspor vs. Fenerbahçe: Match Preview
Fenerbahçe will face Antalyaspor away in the 7th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig.
The match will take place at Corendon Airlines Park Antalya Stadium, kicking off at 19:00, with referee Cihan Aydın officiating.
Having played 6 matches in the league with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, José Mourinho’s team aims to secure a morale-boosting victory against Antalyaspor.
After defeating the Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise 2-1 in the UEFA Europa League, Fenerbahçe is also targeting a win against Antalyaspor, coached by Alex de Souza, in the league.
Osayi-Samuel not in squad
According to a statement from the yellow-dark blue club, Bright Osayi-Samuel, İrfan Can Eğribayat, Samet Akaydin, Bartuğ Elmaz, and Ryan Kent are not included in the squad. New signing Filip Kostić is included in the squad for the first time.
Fred and Jayden on the edge
Before the Antalyaspor match, Fred and Jayden Oosterwolde are on the verge of suspension due to yellow cards. If these two players receive a card tomorrow, they will not be able to play in the away match against Samsunspor.
All eyes on Dzeko in attack
Fenerbahçe is expected to start with striker Edin Džeko in the starting eleven against Antalyaspor. Unlike the Union Saint-Gilloise match, Youssef En-Nesyri, who came on as a substitute in the Galatasaray game, is not expected to start, with Fenerbahçe likely beginning the game with Džeko.
In the 6 matches played in the Süper Lig so far, Džeko has scored 5 goals and made 1 assist.
