Prediction

  • Fenerbahce beat Kasimpasa 2-0 last time out. Once they got the opener at the 22nd minute, Mourinho's team reduced the tempo and cruised to a win. Considering how strong Galatasaray's attacking lineup is, the Portuguese manager is likely to start this game very cautiously. He will also need Tadic and Saint-Maximin to do more defensively as the title-holders' wingers can be quite threatening.
  • Galatasaray were 3-1 winners against Gaziantep last time out. As usual, they created a plethora of chances and got a fully deserved win. Buruk's aim here will be to use his attacking lineup's speed. We are likely to see less possession and more transition play from the Lions. The young manager's real worry will be the number of chances his team concedes almost every game.
  • This will be a very intense affair as representatives of both clubs have been engaged in a public war of words for some time now.
  • Both teams boast strong midfields and attacking lineups and both can create quite a few chances. The Canaries's defensive performance has been better so they are slight favorites here.
