The Turkish Super Lig returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Antalyaspor and Fenerbahce go head-to-head on Sunday. Domenico Tedesco’s men are unbeaten in each of their last eight visits to the New Antalya Stadium since November 2017 (5W 3D) and will head into the weekend looking to extend this dominant nine-year streak.
Antalyaspor failed to pull clear of the danger zone last Sunday when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Kayserispor at the Kadir Has Stadium.
Thanks for the submission!
Sami Ugurlu’s men have managed just two wins from their last 12 matches since November 8, while losing six and claiming four draws in that time.
This poor run of results has seen Antalyaspor plunge into 14th place in the Super Lig standings with 23 points from 23 games, just three points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Thursday’s 2-1 second-leg victory over Nottingham Forest was not enough to keep Fenerbahce in the Europa League, as their 3-0 defeat in the first leg of the playoffs saw them lose the tie 4-2 on aggregate and drop into the UEFA Conference League.
Tedesco’s men now turn their sights to the Super Lig, where they are the only unbeaten side this season, having picked up 15 wins and eight draws from their 23 games so far.
Fenerbahce have racked up 53 points from their 23 league matches to sit second in the standings, five points adrift of first-placed Galatasaray.

Antalyaspor vs Fenerbahce Prediction
