On Sat Nov 12th, Fenerbahçe will play host to Giresunspor in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Super Lig teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 1st placed Fenerbahçe is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Sivasspor. Enner Valencia struck first for Fenerbahçe in the 55th minute from the penalty spot, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Sivasspor was frustrated by Fenerbahçe’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Fenerbahçe ended the match with the shutout victory. Fenerbahçe looks to continue their winning ways, having won 8 of their last 10, while giresunspor is fresh off their 3-2 win against İstanbulspor. Valon Ethemi struck first for İstanbulspor in the 18th minute on a feed from Jetmir Topalli, then in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time, Da Luiz Junior sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Alper Uludağ But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 48th minute on a goal by Jorman Campuzano. Giresunspor looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Fenerbahçe won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Giresunspor is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Riad Bajić and Da Luiz Junior each only have 1 goal in their last five. Fenerbahçe is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Michy Batshuayi and Enner Valencia each having 3 goals in their last five.
