The season did not start well for Fenerbahce. They have been eliminated by Young Boys from UEFA Champions League. Then there is a little crisis between Alex de Souza and coach Aykut kocaman. Their transfer to the attack line has just arrived; but Mamadou Niang from Marseille will not play this week. Güiza is injured and Semih is not considered as a regular team player. So Gokhan Unal, who was generally a substitute last year, will start in the first eleven. The visitors has changed the whole defence line. Although the arrivals are familiar to the top level, they can have adaptation problem. They have just Kerem Seras who is suspended. If they can show what they have done last year, they can grab the points.

It will be a sunny day in İstanbul. The temperature is 30 C. The refree is Bülent Yildirim. In the last season, Fenerbahce has three victories and two defeats with him. Antalya recorded two victories, one defeat.
In general: Fenerbahçe: 17 Draw: 2 Antalya: 4
Last year: Antalya - Fenerbahçe: 1-2
Antalya - Fenerbahçe: 4-3 (Turkish Cup)
Fenerbahçe – Antalya: 1-0
It is too bad that Fenerbahçe will miss their home support. Antalyaspor is a good team; but their defence line was builded in the summer transfer market. Although they have good attackers, they can have problem at back. I prefer to bet on total goal 2-3.
For total goals (2-3), the best odds are at Sportingbet and Bet365.
