Fenermahce test in Adana
On Thursday there will be a duel between Adana Demirspor and Fenerbahce Istanbul in the Turkish Süper Lig. While the guests are in 2nd place and 4 points behind the lead in the table, Demirspor also occupies a good 5th place in the table and has good chances of an international starting place.
The hosts have only been playing in the Süper Lig for 2 years, but are already fighting for international business this year. After 9th place last season, they are in 5th place this year after 20 match days and are only one point behind the international places. The form also seems to be right with 2 wins from the past 3 games. With Fenerbahce Istanbul, however, a real top team is now waiting for the surprise team. The visitors are currently 2nd behind Galatasaray. So that the gap of 4 points doesn't grow any further, they probably need a win. For Fenerbahce it would be the 4th win in a row.

Adana Demirspor analysis
As briefly mentioned above, Adana Demirspor is only playing its second season in the Turkish Süper Lig. About 10 years ago the club was still in the third division. Now they are on the verge of becoming a permanent fixture in the top Turkish division. The promotion season was already outstanding with 9th place. This year they were able to improve again and after 20 matchdays they are in 5th place in the table . With a win they could already take 3rd place. That would qualify them for European business. But one thing already seems to be certain and that is staying up in the league. The lead over the first relegation zone is 18 points.
A big advantage for Demirspor will be that they can play the game against Fenerbahce at home. The team is still undefeated there this year. Together with Trabzonspor they are the only undefeated team in the home table. In addition to 6 wins, 3 games ended with a draw, which is why they only take 6th place in this table.The goal ratio of 20-6 goals is also outstanding. This is the 2nd best defensive and the 5th best offensive. In 4 of 9 home games and thus almost half of all games they remained without a goal. Demirspor have only failed to score once at home and that was in the notable 0-0 draw against Galatasaray Istanbul.
One of the main people responsible for this success is the Italian coach Vincenzo Montella. In his homeland he was already written off after unsuccessful performances at AC Fiorentina and AC Milan. Now he is experiencing his second spring in Turkey and could soon be traveling internationally with Demirspor. He has a point average similar to that of AC Milan. After 62 games, his average is 1.69 points per game. He and his team lost only 17 times in Turkey. Since the 4th matchday this season, only 3 more defeats have been added. Between matchday 4 and matchday 14 they even remained undefeated. They are currently unbeaten in 3 games.Remarkable: The team failed to score only 3 times this season.
Fenerbahce analysis
Fenerbahce were last crowned Turkish champions in 2014. One has been waiting for the next championship title for almost 10 years. They were close last season, but in the end it was only enough for second place. This year, after 20 match days, they are back in second place behind Galatasaray Istanbul . The gap is already 4 points, which is why they should not allow to lose any more points. After losing the direct duel against the leader of the table, the team recently won 3 more games in a row. The form should therefore be right against one of the best home teams in the league.
The guests are the best offensive department in Turkey and by far. Galatasaray scored 9 goals fewer than Fenerbahce as the 2nd best offensive team. Overall, after 20 matchdays, there are 51 goals and thus significantly more than 2.00 goals per game. They missed to score in only 4 games this season. In the last 3 games, however, a strong 9 goals were scored again. On the last matchday alone they won 5-1 against Kasimpasa.
Enner Valencia scored 4 of these 5 goals. The 33-year-old has already scored 19 goals this season and is the top scorer in the league. There you can also find Michy Batshuayi in 3rd place who has 10 goals. This tower duo alone was responsible for 29 goals.By the way, Fenerbahce scored 20 goals in 9 games away from home and thus more than 2.00 goals per game.
Adana Demirspor - Fenerbahce: What to expect?
The hosts could only win one duel in the recent past. This was last season when they surprisingly won 1-2 away. The home game in turn was lost 0-1. The two clubs have already met once again this year. On Matchday 3, Fenerbahce won 4-2 at home in a scoring game . For them it was the 12th victory in the last 13 duels. To be fair, however, it must be said that only 5 duels took place in this century. Fenerbahce was still able to win 4 of them. There were also 4 of them with more than 2.5 goals. In the last two duels, goals were scored on both sides at the same time.
Demirspor is playing another outstanding season in the Süper Lig and is even fighting for international places. Fenerbahce still has more quality in the squad and with 3 wins in a row the form should be right. Fenerbahce to win is still to be regarded as a risk tip, but to minimize the risk we would recommend a draw no bet bet. In the last direct duels, Demirspor always managed to score. A Both teams score bet is therefore conceivable.
- X2 double chance (or 2 DNB)
- Fenerbahce to win (risk)
- Both teams to score
