Alanyaspor vs Fenerbahce Match Preview

Alanyaspor is ranked at 6th place with 56 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. It has been an impressive season so far for them, considering that they lost their two best strikers from the last season but still they are finishing in the top half. They sit 8 points behind the 4th spot which gives a ticket for Europa League and with only four games left to play I see it really hard for them to try and do something about this.

For this duel they will also miss Babacar who is their second best striker with 8 goals and 1 assist which is quite a blow. They have scored 55 goals and conceded 39 and overall they have been quite solid on both sides, but the lack of motivation might be a factor now. Both their losses came against teams that are in desperate need for points and in the most recent one they were held in a goalless draw against Basaksehir that is struggling to avoid relegation.

Fenerbahce, on the other hand, is ranked at the 3rd place with 72 points and comes almost in a perfect shape after four wins and a single draw over the last five matches. They are in the title fight alongside Besiktas and Galatasaray, so in case of a probable win here they would regain the 2nd spot and sit only three points behind Besiktas.

With 64 goals scored they have the third-best offensive side in the league and with 36 goals conceded the third-best defense. There are hopes that Ozil will be at least on the bench for this game and he will be an added value. In attack should play Valencia who is their best striker with 9 goals and 1 assist, backed up by the duo Tufan 5 goals - 8 assists and Pelkas 6 goals - 7 assists.

In conclusion, I think Fenerbahce can win this match or get at least a draw. They have got to aim for all the three points here to keep Besiktas under pressure, considering that in two weeks they will face Galatasaray on the road. They lost just 1 of the last ten games which is proof how good they are playing right now. Alanyaspor has been a decent team especially at home where they have won 12 out of 18 matches, however, Fenerbahce on the road lost just once this season.
