Fenerbahce to claim easy home win over Yeni Malatyaspor
Fenerbahçe SK vs Yeni Malatyaspor - 26/12/2021
3555
The Turkish top flight action continues during the festive period with a Boxing Day clash between Fenerbahce and Super Lig strugglers, Yeni Malatyaspor, when the two teams face off at the Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe.
6th placed Fenerbahce have found themselves on the fringes of the top four pack of the Turkish top flight for a while but the hosts have struggled to break through as they’ve managed to pick up just two wins out of their last nine matches overall.
Despite victories over Galatasaray 2-1 away from home and a resounding 4-0 romp at home against Rizespor, Fenerbahce have also slipped to four defeats within this period and this has prevented the hosts from making in-roads into the European qualifying spots - up until now.
This upcoming fixture against second from bottom outfit, Yeni Malatyaspor, represents a golden opportunity for Fenerbahce to make up lost ground and having lost just two of their last 13 league games on home soil at their Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe, the hosts look set to take the spoils here.
As mentioned earlier, Yeni Malatyaspor currently occupy second from bottom spot in the Turkish top flight and find themselves four points adrift of 16th placed Altay and safety ahead of the festive fixture schedule.
An extended disappointing run of results in recent weeks has further impacted Yeni Malatyaspor’s ability to climb out of the relegation zone in the Super Lig following a sequence of seven games without a win.
Five defeats within these last seven games tells its own story as Yeni Malatyaspor have struggled to find a way out and losses against Kasimpasa, Basaksehir, Giresunspor, Alanyaspor and Rizespor perhaps suggest this upcoming trip to face Fenerbahce will also end in disappointment.
The bigger picture shows that Malatyaspor have managed to register just two wins out of their last 14 matches overall in the domestic top flight while a similar picture unfolds when looking at their results on their travels.
Yeni Malatyaspor have collected just three wins out of their last 18 matches on the road which includes keeping just five clean sheets and at the business end, also failing to score in nine of these 18 outings as well.
Malatyaspor’s lack of punch up front therefore doesn’t bode well for this fixture and Fenerbahce should make the most of this opportunity with a convincing win.
