Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting Tips - Super Lig
by Devesh Jaganath in Super Lig Predictions
It’s time for the first ‘Intercontinental Derby’ of the 2024-25 Turkish Super League season! Istanbul giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are set to collide on Saturday evening at Ulker Stadyumu in what could be a crucial match in the title race even this early in the season. Cimbom are already atop the league standings after five games while the Yellow Canaries are hot on their heels in second. To the prediction!
Last season, Gala won the Super Lig by just three points to deny Fener the title for a second season in a row. Thus, the hosts this week will know all to well the importance of getting a result here, as a defeat will see them slip five point behind their arch-rivals in the standings.
This is a rivalry that stretches back over 100 years and when these two lock horns, it’s more than just the three points they’re playing for - it’s about pride, tradition and honour. Who will come out on top in this one? Let’s get into the key stats.

Fenerbahce Istanbul - Galatasaray: Form Analysis
It was almost exactly four months ago when these two met at RAMS Park and Fenerbahce came away with a 1-0 victory to keep the title race alive heading into the final match of the season - albeit in vain, as Gala went on to lift the title a week later.
The Yellow Canaries’ lost just a single league fixture last season while Gala last two, but the former came up three points short of the title owing to their six draw results, compared to Cimbom’s three.
This season, Fener are already two points behind their rivals, again owing to a draw against Goztepe in gameweek two, before notching up three consecutive wins over Rizespor, Alanyaspor and Kasimpasa.
Fenerbahce are unbeaten in their last 15 Super Lig home games and have won their last eight in a row!
Meanwhile, Galatasaray have made the perfect start to the new league season, racking up five wins in a row, making them the only team in the Turkish top flight to maintain a flawless record over the early stages of the campaign.
Cimbom have also been in excellent goal-scoring form over the early knockings, having already scored 17 goals in the first five, 13 of which came in just their last three league games alone.
Gala failed to win either league match against their old foes last season, drawing at this venue and losing at home. However, they were awarded the Super Cup victory after the Yellow Canaries walked off the pitch in the second minute.

Fenerbahce Istanbul & Galatasaray Squad Analysis
Jose Mourinho is expected to be without the services of at least two players for this match, with Bright Osayi-Samuel ruled out with a muscle injury and Juventus loanee Filip Kostic currently on personal leave.
Dusan Tadic has scored three goals in his last two games and will almost certainly keep his place in the starting 11 as the furthest-forward midfielder, while Fred will provide the defensive cover in the number-six role.
Fener’s Edin Dzeko and Gala’s Baris Alper Yilmaz are the joint top scorers in the Super Lig this season!
Cimbom are also likely to have two notable absentees this week, with Mauro Icardi and Hakim Ziyech both sidelined until the end of the month with muscle injuries.
Young centre-back Ali Yesilyurt is the only other known injury concern for the visitors, while new arrival Roland Sallai could receive his debut this weekend after completing his move to Istanbul from Freiburg last week.
