Fenerbahce recorded a commanding 6-0 victory over second-tier side Adanaspor AS at home in the fifth round of the Turkish Cup, with Michy Batshuayi being the standout performer, netting four goals.

Prior to that, they eked out a 1-0 victory against Gaziantep away from home, although expectations were leaning towards a decisive victory. The Yellow Canaries have recorded seven consecutive wins across all competitions, outscoring their opponents 19-2. Having suffered a solitary defeat in twelve matches across all competitions, Ismail Kartal's has typified consistency and should be too strong for their opponents to handle.

With 53 points accumulated from 20 matches, Fenerbahce sits atop the Turkish Super Lig standings, two points ahead of second-placed Galatasaray, and will seek to secure maximum points in this clash to widen the point gap.

Having spent 11 years languishing in the lower bottom divisions, Samsunspor's promotion to the top tier this season was indeed a joyous occasion; however, having picked up six wins in twenty league matches, they find themselves in a relegation scrap and will need to up the ante if they are to avoid being demoted to the lower division.

Markus Gisdol's wards have started the new year on a positive note, picking up three wins in four matches across various competitions. Their most recent match against Alanyaspor in the fifth round of the Turkish Cup witnessed them eke out a 3-1 triumph away from home. This comes after seeing off the threat of ten-man Sivasspor at home in the league, winning 2-0, and they will be seeking their second consecutive win in this one.

With 21 points collected from 20 matches played, Samsunspor occupy the 15th spot in the Turkish Super Lig standings, one point ahead of the relegation zone and three points adrift of 12th-placed Ankaragucu.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

• Fenerbahce are presently on a nine-match unbeaten run across all competitions.
• Samsunspor have conceded a goal in all of their ten away matches in the Super Lig.

Fenerbahce are favorites to claim maximum points in this impending encounter at home, and there's no disputing that fact given their impressive display this season. The Yellow Canaries have not lost to Samsunspor in their last 14 meetings when playing at home, a commendable run that will be extended to fifteen when all is said and done.

Therefore, we expect Ismail Kartal's men to cover the handicap of -2.0, which should surface as we don't see a floundering Samsunspor side causing any problems for the league leaders in this one.
