• Competition: Turkish Super Lig
• Date: Saturday, 10th, August 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK/20.45 CEST
• Venue: Ulker Stadium Sukru Saragoclu (Istanbul)

Fenerbahce will kick off their title quest with a home match against Adana Demirspor at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Saturday in the first matchday of the Turkish Super Lig.

Even though they racked up a remarkable 99 points to their name, Fenerbahce could not secure the championship crown last season, losing the title race to Galatasaray by a slim margin of three points. In an effort to attack the league title and leave a mark on the European front, the club's management has brought in the right man for the job by appointing the charismatic Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho, who will aim to immediately return the Yellow Canaries to the national throne this season.

After claiming a lofty fourth-placed finish in the 2022-23 campaign in the elite division, Adana Demirspor experienced a sharp decline in results last season, ending up in 12th with only four points separating them from the relegation places. Following a dismal Super Lig campaign, Mavi Simsekler made changes on the touchline, dismissing Hikmet Karaman and appointing Michael Valkanis as the new manager, who hopes to achieve a significantly better performance than his predecessor.

Fenerbahce vs Adana Demirspor Betting Tips : OVER 3.5

The quality of these teams is unquestionable as Fenerbahce clearly outmatches Adana Demirspor in every aspect of the game, so it is expected that the Bosphorus giants will easily secure the full three points in their Super Lig season opener. The Blue Lightning experienced a terrible end to the last term, dropping all three of their final top-flight games and letting in six goals in two of those matches, with their fragile defense could be badly hit by a formidable attacking unit at the weekend. To make matters worse, Adana Demirspor’s visits to Sukru Saracoglu Stadium have been a tough read, as their last two encounters here ended in identical 2-4 defeats, and another high-scoring win for Fener might be on the cards. Valkanis' men are certainly capable of putting the ball in the net against any rival, but simply put, Fenerbahce are asking here and should assert their dominance until the last blast of the referee's whistle.
