Fenerbahce v Alanyaspor Prediction: Hosts to maintain unbeaten run

Fenerbahce will look to extend their unbeaten start to the Turkish Super Lig season on Wednesday night when they host Alanyaspor at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium (18:00 BST). The Istanbul giants are eager to stay within striking distance of league leaders Galatasaray and will want to build further momentum after a strong domestic start.

Below are my Fenerbahce v Alanyaspor predictions, as well as all the essential team news and match odds.

Team News

Fenerbahce remain without Edson Alvarez, who is recovering from a muscle injury. Jhon Duran is out for at least a month, and Mert Hakan Yandas is managing a foot problem.

New boss Domenico Tedesco handed debuts to Kerem Akturkoglu, Ederson and Marco Asensio against Trabzonspor, with Akturkoglu and Ederson starting, while Asensio came off the bench late on.

Football Odds

Alanyaspor will again be without 23-year-old midfielder Buluthan Bulut, who remains sidelined until winter with a knee injury.

Fenerbahce vs Alanyaspor Odds

Hosts Fenerbahce are 1/4 to claim three points and record a fourth win of the season on Wednesday, implying an 80% probability of success, while Alanyaspor are 17/2 to cause an upset.

A draw in Istanbul is available at 9/2, while Fenerbahce to be leading at both half-time and full-time is 4/5.

Both teams to score is 4/5, while either side keeping a clean sheet is 10/11.

Fenerbahce to win to nil @ 11/10

The Turkish giants have conceded just twice in their first four league fixtures, drawing their opener before winning three on the bounce.

Jose Mourinho was dismissed following their Champions League qualifying exit to Benfica and replaced by Tedesco, who won his first game in charge 1-0.

The arrival of multiple Premier League-winning goalkeeper Ederson has strengthened their defence, and Alanyaspor are likely to find chances hard to come by.

In the last six meetings between the sides, Alanyaspor have scored in only two of those games, and Fenerbahce have won six of the last seven overall.

Their defensive form, combined with home advantage and an electric atmosphere, makes the hosts to win to nil an appealing bet.

Youssef En-Nesyri to score first @ 3/1

Star striker Youssef En-Nesyri has three goals from four league fixtures this season, plus a Champions League qualifying strike and one for Morocco during the international break.

Fenerbahce have scored first in five of the last seven encounters with Alanyaspor, and a likely first start for Asensio should provide En-Nesyri with quality service from the flanks.

The striker joined the Turkish side from Sevilla last summer and netted 26 times in his first season at the club. He thrives on early openings, so backing him to break the deadlock again offers strong value.
