Thursday’s round 22 of the Turkish Super Lig takes place at the New Adana Stadium between Adana Demirspor and Fenerbahce. The visitors will attempt to maintain their winning streak, which spans all competitions and includes four victories.
Last weekend, Adana Demirspor defeated Sivasspor 2-1 in the road game to continue their quest for a spot in Europe. Since their 2-1 defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir on January 9, they have not lost in three league games, earning seven out of a possible nine points.
Adana Demirspor is fifth in the Super Lig table with 37 points from 20 matches, three points behind Istanbul Basaksehir for the final Europa League playoff spot. In the meantime, Fenerbahce beat Kasimpasa 5-1 in a thrilling matchup in Istanbul. Fenerbahce dominated Kasimpasa.
The team led by Jorge Jesus has won their last four games in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and allowing four. With 44 points from 20 matches, Fenerbahce is currently second in the league, four points behind league leaders Galatasaray.
With five victories from six matches across all competitions, Fenerbahce has begun the new year in style. However, facing an Adana Demirspor team that has been nearly impenetrable on their home turf in the league will be a tough test for them. In what should be an entertaining draw, we anticipate a match that goes all the way through with a lot of goal-mouth action.
Prediction: Adana Demirspor 2-2 Fenerbahce
In this match’s history, Fenerbahce has dominated, claiming four victories from the last five encounters. In that time, Adana Demirspor only won once, in January 2022, when they defeated Jesus’ team 2-1 at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
Fenerbahce enters Thursday’s match on a four-game winning streak across all competitions that began on January 8 with a 3-0 defeat of rival Galatasaray. Adana Demirspor is one of only two Super Lig teams without a home loss this season, winning six games and drawing three.
Adana Demirspor and manager Vincenzo Montella’s only injury concern is Fredrik Gulbrandsen, but Yusuf Sari will return from suspension. Mert Cetin made his defense debut for the team after returning to Turkey from Hellas Verona on loan last week.
Montella has swiftly acquired Cherif Ndiaye from Shanghai Port as Britt Assombalonga has returned to England to join Watford after two years at the club. Ndiaye, who spent two seasons at Goztepe and scored 20 Super Lig goals, is likely to make his debut for the club here.
Miguel Crespo, who was ticketed against Kasimpasa last weekend, will be suspended for this Fenerbahce match. As he attempts to recover from a knee injury that has kept him out since the World Cup break, Joao Pedro is a question mark and may be subjected to a fitness test. Due to injuries, Josh King, Bright Osayi-Samuel, and Nazim Sangare will not play.
