Alanyaspor vs. Fenerbahce: Prediction, Team News & Lineups Preview
In an exciting Turkish Super Lig clash, Fenerbahce will aim to maintain pressure on league leaders Galatasaray as they face Alanyaspor this Sunday. Fenerbahce currently sits just three points behind at the top of the table, while Alanyaspor is positioned 10th, despite suffering only four defeats this season.
Match Preview
Fenerbahce’s ambitions are evident as they are actively exploring the transfer market, with Chelsea legend N’Golo Kante reportedly on their radar. Head coach Domenico Tedesco seeks to extend their impressive unbeaten run in the league, boasting 11 wins and six draws from 17 matches.
In recent matchups, Fenerbahce demonstrated their strength by securing a 2-0 victory over Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Cup, underscoring their rising quality. They have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions, with a solitary loss occurring against Besiktas in a Turkish Cup match.
This fixture marks Fenerbahce’s first Super Lig game since December 20, following commanding wins of 4-0 against Konyaspor and 3-0 against Eyupspor in previous league matches.
Alanyaspor’s Recent Form
Alanyaspor is enjoying a seven-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, having not lost since their match against Kasimpasa on November 23. However, they have drawn nine times in 17 Super Lig matches, including three consecutive draws where they scored just one goal. They did celebrate a 2-0 victory over the bottom-placed Fatih Karagumruk in their most recent league outing on December 21.
The team has managed to keep three clean sheets in a row but faced a setback with a 2-2 draw against Fatih Karagumruk in the Turkish Cup on Tuesday.
Team News
Alanyaspor is expected to stick with a lineup similar to that used in their midweek Turkish Cup match. Florent Hadergjonaj excelled in that game, scoring two goals as a right wing-back. Joao Pereira may need to decide on the left side, considering Hwang Ui-Jo’s potential return amidst competition from Ianis Hagi and Ruan. Notably, Hwang ended 2025 with a goal and an assist.
In contrast, Fenerbahce is likely to see new faces, with Matteo Guendouzi aiming for a starting position following his arrival from Lazio, possibly replacing Ismail Yuksek. Goalkeeper Ederson and defender Milan Skriniar also hope to return after being rested.
