Fenerbahce vs Alanyaspor Prediction & Betting Tips (30 August)

2nd in the SuperLig rankings for the last 3 years, José Mourinho arrived in the former Ottoman Empire with two specific missions. The 1st was to qualify for the Champions League, it failed, beaten by LOSC in the 3rd round 2-1/1-1 but the "Fener" is directly qualified for the league phase of the next C3. The 2nd is to win the title ahead of rivals Galatasaray and Besiktas. For now it's not too bad with this 1st place 7 points although Galatasaray and Besiktas have 1 game behind to catch up. Last weekend, Dzeko's team defeated Rizespor 0-5.

 Opposite, Alanyaspor has been present in this SüperLig since the 2016 season when it experienced its rise. With 54 points on the clock last year, Alanyaspor finished in an honorable 8th place. However, this start of the 2024-25 season is very delicate at the moment. After a draw on the first day at home against promoted Eyuspor 1-1, Alanyaspor logically lost the 3 points at Istanbul BB 4-2 before conceding a new draw at home in front of Goztepe 1 -1 during 3rd day. 

The Nigerian international, centerpiece of the local midfield, will not play this evening due to injury. Huge blow for Fenerbahce a few days before the end of the transfer window, José Mourinho's team lost Ferdi Kadioglou, very prominent with Turkey during the last Euro. He joined Brighton while his club recovered 30 million euros in the deal. In terms of arrivals, let us recall those of Soyuncu, Saint-Maximin and En-Nesyri. The latter will have had difficulty dislodging Edin Dzeko from his starting position at the forefront of the attack, captain, and author of 3 goals in the championship.

 The Angolan international but also offensive starter on the right wing, Loide Augusto (2 assists since the start of the season) is out for this evening. Coming from Braga (free), Rony Lopes the ex-Monegasque arrived at the club, which is also the case of Gais Kakouta (Charleroi) a very good recruit in midfield. Oguz Aydin joined Fenerbahce for 6 million euros.
