Fenerbahce vs Hatayspor prediction, preview, team news and more | Turkish Super Lig 2020-21

The Turkish Super Lig returns with its second round of fixtures this weekend as Hatayspor hit the road to take on a formidable Fenerbahce outfit at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. Fenerbahce got their campaign off to a winning start last week and will have to work hard to win this game.

Hatayspor secured promotion to the Turkish Super Lig for the first time in their history after an excellent 2019-20 campaign. The winners of the TFF First League also secured a shock 2-0 victory against reigning Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir and are perfectly placed to cause another upset this weekend.

Fenerbahce also managed a victory in its opening fixture of the new season after a late penalty from Jose Sosa secured all three points for the Turkish giants against a feisty Rizespor side. Fenerbahce were not particularly convincing in the first game of their campaign and will need to show tremendous improvement against Hatayspor.
