Fenerbahce vs Hatayspor Prediction and Betting Tips | January 5th 2025

Fenerbahce will host Hatayspor at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday in the 18th round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts will be confident to continue their solid league form against a much weaker side.

Sarı Kanaryalar will be disappointed to have dropped points in a 1-1 draw against Eyüpspor last time out. The hosts have been keen to keep close tabs on league leaders Galatasaray but have fallen behind after dropping points in two of their last three matches.

Jose Mourinho's side currently sit in second place, eight points off the top and will be looking to pick up their 12th win of the league season in the opening game of the year.

Hatayspor have only picked up one win all season and are currently nine points deep into the relegation zone and will need to turn around their season soon to avoid going down. The visitors extended their winless run to five games with a 3-1 loss against bottom-placed Adana Demirspor in the last round and are unlikely to end it against one of the league's best sides.
