Team News

Kayserispor
Fenerbahce
  • Hasan Kaldirim is set to deputise for the injured Lionel Carole.
  • Anthony Uzodimma, who wasn't expected to start here, is also sidelined with an injury.
  • Serdar Aziz is expected to start as Rodrigo Becao will not be available until mid-January.
  • Miha Zajc is still recovering from injury and Samet Akaydin is suspended. But neither were expected to start here.
  • Lincoln and Luan Peres, neither of whom were expected to start here, are sidelined due to lack of fitness and injury respectively.

Prediction

  • Kayserispor were 2-0 winners against Pendikspor last time out. They weren't as dominant as expected and had to rely on Bayazit to keep them in the game on a number of occasions but they persevered and won three more key points. They are the most in-form team in the Super Lig at the moment with five wins and a draw in their last six outings. Ucar, however, will be very wary of Fenerbahce's attacking potency so expect a more defence-oriented approach here.
  • Fenerbahce defeated Besiktas 3-1 last time out. They were in full control of the derby and deserved to win with an even bigger margin. Then, in the midweek UEFA Conference League tie, they brushed Spartak Trnava aside 4-0 and qualified for the next stage. Their morale is high and key names have returned from injury but this will still be a very difficult 90 minutes for the Canaries.
  • Although Fenerbahce are certainly the better team on paper, Kayserispor have been very impressive under Ucar. Playing at an early hour might have a negative impact on the visitors as well, as they are not used to playing daytime games. The home team might snatch a point here.
