Alanyaspor vs Fenerbahce preview, prediction, team news and head-to-head

While the hosts are comfortably sitting in mid-table, the visitors are locked in a relentless pursuit of the league title.

Alanyaspor enter this fixture in steady form, having remained unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions. 

They recently played out a 2-2 draw against Karagümrük in the Turkish Cup on Tuesday, a result that followed a solid 2-0 league victory over the same opponent in December. 

Under the guidance of João Pereira, Alanyaspor has become a difficult side to break down, particularly at home, where they have kept several clean sheets recently. 

Currently sitting 10th in the table with 21 points, a positive result here could see them push toward the European qualification spots, though they will need to be at their absolute best to halt a superior opponent.

Fenerbahce, meanwhile, are in exceptional form as they continue to hunt down Galatasaray at the top of the table. Domenico Tedesco’s side is currently on a remarkable 32-game unbeaten run in the league. 

They come into this game following a professional 1-0 victory over Beyoğlu Yeni Çarşı in the Turkish Cup and a massive 2-0 win over Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Cup just a week ago. 

Sitting in second place with 39 points, the Yellow Canaries cannot afford to drop points if they want to maintain the pressure on the league leaders.

Fenerbahce have held the upper hand in this fixture, winning seven of the last ten encounters between the two clubs. 

However, the most recent meeting in September 2025 ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, proving that Alanyaspor can go toe-to-toe with the giants of Istanbul when they are on their game.

Alanyaspor have struggled to keep a clean sheet against Fenerbahce in over three years and given the attacking talent on display for the visitors, the home side's defensive resilience will be tested to its limits once again.

Alanyaspor will be heavily affected by suspensions, with Izzet Celik, Enes Keskin, Yusuf Özdemir and Bedirhan Özyurt all unavailable after disciplinary issues.

Defensive options are further limited by injuries to Bruno Viana, Buluthan Bulut and Nuno Lima, leaving the coaching staff with few alternatives at the back and likely forcing several changes to the usual lineup.

Fenerbahçe also have significant absentees to contend with. Midfielder Mert Hakan Yandaş is suspended, while striker Youssef En-Nesyri is away on international duty.

The visitors are additionally dealing with a number of injury problems, as Anthony Musaba, Archie Brown, Edson Álvarez, Jayden Oosterwolde and Levent Mercan are all ruled out, reducing depth across defence and midfield ahead of this fixture.

Alanyaspor (4-2-3-1): Victor – Hadergjonaj, Aliti, Makouta, Akdag – Janvier, Aksoy – Karaca, Hagi, Yalcin – Ruan

Fenerbahçe (4-2-3-1): Günok – Aydin, Söyüncü, Demir, Nene – Fred, Yüksek – Musaba, Szymanski, Talisca – Duran

Given the gulf in quality and Fenerbahce's incredible unbeaten streak, it is difficult to look past an away victory. 

While Alanyaspor are disciplined at home and have the tools to score, Fenerbahce’s depth and their recent "big game" performances suggest they will find a way to break through. 

We expect an entertaining game where the visitors' superior individual quality eventually gives them the victory.
