 For the third successive Turkish Super Lig campaign, Fenerbahce finished second last season, three points behind fierce rivals Galatasaray, with whom they lost the league title dispute. The Yellow Canaries have turned their hopes on the "special one," Jose Mourinho, to help them end a 10-year title wait this season.

The renowned Jose Mourinho, who left his post at AS Roma and was out of action for a period of six months, has signed a two-year deal with the club. So far, he has achieved five wins from eight games (L2, D1). Two of those wins have come from the Champions League qualifiers' second qualifying round against Lugano (Switzerland), achieving a 6-4 aggregate win. However, in the third qualifying round, they lost 2-1 against Lille away from home, setting the stage for a thrilling second leg return three days from now.

Under the leadership of current head coach Hikmet Karaman, Adana Demirspor had a disappointing Turkish Super Lig campaign. They finished in 12th place with 44 points, just four above the relegation zone. This was a significant drop from their fourth-place finish in the 2022–23 season, which guaranteed them a Europa League qualifier spot.

In preparation for the current season, they only participated in one preseason match, playing out a 2-2 draw against Sumqayit (Azerbaijan). It has been relatively quiet in the transfer market for Hikmet Karaman's, who have made no signings other than bagging the services of Edouard Michut on a free transfer from PSG. Mario Balotelli, who scored seven goals in 16 appearances last season, left the club as a free agent.

• Fenerbahce have won four of their last seven matches across all competitions.
• Adana Demirspor is currently on a two-match losing streak against Fenerbahce when playing away.
• Fenerbahce averages 2.8 goals per game when playing at home, and Adana Demirspor averages 1.4 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 10 meetings, Fenerbahce have won 7 times, Adana Demirspor have won 1 time, and there have been 2 draws, with the goal difference being 25-8 in favor of Fenerbahce. 

Besides being a dominant force in the head-to-head meetings, Fenerbahce comes into this match boasting two wins from their last three competitive matches and should be able to secure their first win of the season in the top flight in a comfortable manner.

Adana Demirspor were poor on the road last season and were ranked the fourth-worst team in the league, not to mention that they lost their last three matches of the season. 

The Yellow Canaries have won their last two home matches against Adana Demirspor, with both matches ending with a 4-2 scoreline. However, we don't anticipate a similar showing this time around, but we are leaning on the home side to secure a comfortable win combined with a total under 4.5 goals.
