The Braves stepped inside the New Antalya Stadium with the determination to secure all three points against Antalyaspor, and with that in mind, they were able to come away with a 2:1 thanks to goals from Mustapha Yatabaré and Max-Alain Gradel.
Wins against Trabzonspor and Sivasspor have seen the Braves on a two-match winning run, and a lagniappe for their valiant efforts to put forth a convincing performance was reliving themselves from the burden of being embroiled in the relegation zone, which almost seemed certain.
Despite being underdogs in this clash, their home form in this situation spells for a quite different scenario: that they'll be a handful to Jorge Jesus' men, as they are currently on a four-match unbeaten run at the New 4 Eylul Stadium, and in their last 14 away matches, they've suffered four losses, four wins, and six draws.
They presently occupy 10th place with 37 points, are 10 points ahead of the relegation zone, and are four points behind 9th place. All they can hope for is to consolidate their position in the standings.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Putting aside losses to Galatasaray and Besiktas this season at the Şükrü Saracoğlu, there are no words to describe the infuriation Jorge Jesus felt about his side's performance against relegation hopefuls Istanbulspor in their recent match, which has to be the icing on the cake when it comes to a poor display of performance.
Though they didn't suffer a loss as they salvaged a point in a 3:3 draw, it felt like it as they not only squandered a healthy two-goal lead but also thwarted their once-in-a lifetime opportunity to narrow down the point gap to first place to just four points.
As they look to get past that unfortunate ordeal and get back to winning ways, maybe a change of scenery will do them the world of good as they take to the road where they have been dishing out superb performances, going unbeaten in eight games while in their last 14 matches they have only suffered two losses.
In the standings, they currently occupy second place with 64 points and are six points behind first place, while they are only two points ahead of third-place Besiktas.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-1-3-2
Egribayat; Kadioglu, Akaydin, Szalai, Alioski; Yuksek; Guler, Yandas, Kahveci; Pedro, Valencia

Expert Betting Tips
Fenerbahce missed out on the opportunity to narrow down the point gap against them and table leaders Galatasaray to only four points after being held to a draw against Istanbulspor, and it's without a doubt that this was a costly error on their part that came at bad timing, and such mistakes will need to be avoided from now on if they are to have any hopes of concluding the season in first place.
Getting back to winning ways will be crucial for Jorge Jesus' men in this encounter, and though Sivasspor is not a side to be overlooked, we still anticipate them to claim a hard-fought victory, and backing them in the full-time market should be enough to surface.
