Fenerbahce welcome Antalyaspor to the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Tuesday evening as the Turkish Super Lig season nears its end.

The hosts find themselves second in the standings – five points shy of table-topping Galatasaray – meaning they must win to keep their title dreams alive.

As for the visitors, they sit 13th – four points above the bottom four and 36 points below Fenerbahce. Can they cause an upset on Tuesday?

Fenerbahce have lost just five of their 33 Super Lig matches this season, picking up 23 wins and five draws along the way.

Better still, the Yellow Canaries are highest scorers in the division, having netted an impressive 82 goals this term (2.48 goals per game).

Fenerbahce head into Tuesday’s clash on an eight-match unbeaten streak at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, underlining their strength on home soil.

Having scored at least one goal in each of their previous 16 league encounters, Fener will be confident of notching another positive result on Tuesday.

On the flip side, Antalyaspor have managed to win just 10 of their 33 league matches this season, recording eight draws and 15 losses in the process.

The Antalya outfit head into Tuesday’s showdown on the back of successive draws, with a 1-1 stalemate at Ankaragucu preceding a goalless draw with Istanbul Basaksehir.

Not only have Antalyaspor won just one of their last four league games, but they have also won two of their previous nine.

As a result, Antalyaspor remain in the relegation battle, and a trip to high-flying Fenerbahce is not likely to enhance their chances of beating the drop.

Head-to-head: Fenerbahce have avoided defeat in each of their last seven meetings with Antalyaspor, recording four wins and three draws in that time.

When you look at the bigger picture, Antalyaspor have only managed to win one of their previous 12 matches against Fener across all competitions.

Team news: Fenerbahce are currently without homegrown goalkeeper Altay Bayindir and Brazilian midfielder Lincoln due to injury.

Antalyaspor have reported no fresh injury problems ahead of Tuesday’s clash, meaning head coach Nuri Sahin has plenty of options at his disposal.

Although the visitors are expected to give the hosts a run for their money, Fenerbahce should have more than enough firepower to come out on top.

Forebet predicts that Fenerbahce will score over 1.5 goals on their way to seeing off Antalyaspor, who are also expected to find the back of the net.
