Fenerbahçe vs Alanyaspor prediction

THE FORECAST

Fenerbahçe's attack is potent (2.7 goals per game) but they face a severe rotation risk, sandwiched between two Champions League fixtures with only 3 days' rest on each side and a lengthy injury list that includes Livakovic, Asensio, Talisca, Akturkoglu and several others, meaning a heavily weakened squad takes the field. Alanyaspor are well-rested and defensively solid (0.9 GA, 3 clean sheets), but their own attacking output is modest and they drew 0-0 with Erzurumspor last time out. The cool, wet conditions suit a compact Alanyaspor defensive shape, yet Fenerbahçe's home advantage and superior squad depth — even depleted — still make them narrow favourites.
