The Turkish Super Lig is back with another round of action this week as we get ready for some fascinating fixtures. As we continue through the second half of the campaign, more and more clubs are getting a clearer picture of what their true objectives are in the months ahead. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an intriguing clash between Fenerbahce and Kasimpasa.
Fenerbahce Form GuideFenerbahce are still recognised as one of the biggest club in Turkey, but the point must be made that it’s been a long time since they lifted the Super Lig title up high. While we’re only half way through the current season, it already seems like they’re going to be tussling it out with Galatasaray for that honour - as has been the case so often throughout their history.
Fenerbahce went 1-0 down in the first half against Rizespor and in the second, they needed to bounce back - and that’s exactly what they did. They scored three goals and had great counter attacking play, walking away with a comfortable (in the end) 3-1 victory.
Kasimpasa Form GuideStability is a hard thing to come by at the elite level of Turkish football but somehow, Kasimpasa have been able to achieve that goal. They aren’t the best club to rely on when it comes to consistent betting success but what they can offer is a different approach to how football is played by teams in the Super Lig, and that often makes for entertaining viewing - so long as they can stay on track.
Kasimpasa, surprisingly, were put on the back foot for long spells against Fatih Karagumruk. They did manage to take the lead, but it didn’t take long for the visitors to peg them back - and you could argue that a 1-1 draw actually flattered Kasimpasa in the end.
Match PredictionFenerbahce need to be continually tested if they’re going to cause Galatasaray problems in this title race, and Kasimpasa are the perfect team to bring that out of them. They show no fear when they’re on the pitch and we believe that’ll lead us down the path of over 2.5 goals scored in this game.
