Team News

Fenerbahce
Sivasspor
  • Alexander Djiku, Rodrigo Becao, Luan Peres, and Serdar Aziz - all central defenders - are on the injury list. So, Jayden Oosterwolde will feature as a makeshift central defender alongside Samet Akaydin.
  • Fred is back in training but Ismail Kartal is still not willing to risk him. Miha Zajc, his usual deputy, is carrying a knock and will be assessed. If deemed unfit, Miguel Crespo will start.
  • Mert Yandas, who wasn't expected to start here, is also on the injury list.
  • Lincoln has started training but will not be match-fit until mid-December.
  • Rey Manaj is set to lead the attack in Fode Koita's absence.

Prediction

  • Fenerbahce beat Karagumruk 2-1 last time out. Any win, with so many key players, and especially defenders, missing is of massive value so neither fans nor pundits criticised Kartal for the lacklustre display in that game. However, then came the 6-1 trashing by Nordsjaelland in the midweek UEFA Conference League tie. The defeat and the embarrassing performance will obviously have a negative impact on their morale.
  • Sivasspor shared points with Trabzonspor in a thrilling 3-3 draw last time out. Cetin's men showed they can pose a threat to any team they host but their defending on the day raised some questions. They will be sitting very deep here and will look for counter-attacking opportunities against Fenerbahce's makeshift defence.
  • Despite the injuries and lack of morale, Fenerbahce are still favorites at home. But, this will not be a walk in the park for them.
