FenerbahçeFatih Karagümrük

The yellow-blue team at home has produced an 8-3 goal difference over 5 matches and an xG advantage of around 1.7 per match, while Karagümrük concedes an average of 2.25 goals on the road with only a 0.6 goal expectation. The visitors have been goalless in three out of five matches, and with 18 goals conceded, they have a high xGA of about 1.9. Tarik Çetin will again have a chance in the goalkeeper position, but the defense is weakened by Skriniar's suspension; nevertheless, statistics indicate minimal threats from the visitors. Due to the moderate pace of play (about 9.5 shots/possession-hour), 4+ goals are not a given. In terms of corners, Fenerbahçe averages over 6 while Karagümrük is below 3, but neither is notably aggressive in terms of cards (home 1.9, visitor 2.1 yellow cards p90). The main risks are rotation due to the home rotation and the potential to reserve energy for the EL match against Stuttgart.
