Fenerbahce will hope victory away at Konyaspor this Saturday can keep their slim title hopes alive until the final day of the campaign.
The Yellow Canaries head into this penultimate Turkish Super Lig fixture sitting second and four points behind leaders Galatasaray, who face Antalyaspor at the same time.
Konyaspor, meanwhile, occupy ninth position and will aim to secure a top-half finish, having already guaranteed survival and fallen out of European contention mathematically, although their midweek domestic cup success has strengthened hopes of continental qualification.

Konyaspor have hit strong form at a decisive stage of the season, suffering just one defeat across their last 11 matches in all competitions (W8, D2) since the beginning of March.
That only loss arrived in their latest league outing, where Ilhan Palut’s side were beaten 3-2 away at Rizespor, though they responded impressively in Tuesday’s domestic cup clash.
Konyaspor earned a dramatic 1-0 victory over Besiktas thanks to Enis Bardhi’s stoppage-time penalty, sending the Anatolian Eagle to their first Turkiye Kupasi final since lifting the trophy in 2016-17.
A similar scenario unfolded in the Konya-based club’s victory over Fenerbahce in the previous round of the domestic cup, where Marko Jevtovic converted from the spot deep into extra-time stoppage time, highlighting their resilience against elite opposition.
However, their league campaign has lacked consistency, with Ilhan Palut’s men showing a mix of disciplined performances and open contests, resulting in an imbalance at both ends after scoring 42 goals and conceding 45, with only four teams outside the bottom two shipping more.
Fenerbahce’s attacking quality has rarely been questioned, with only league leaders Galatasaray (73) scoring more than the Yellow Canaries’ 71 goals in the Super Lig, although defensive lapses have become increasingly evident.
The second-placed side have managed only two clean sheets across their last 12 league matches, while conceding an average of two goals per game in the last three during that sequence.
Following a 3-0 defeat to Galatasaray on matchday 31, head coach Domenico Tedesco was dismissed, with the result leaving the Yellow Canaries seven points adrift of the summit.
There remains a glimmer of hope after Cimbom suffered defeat at Samsunspor, while Fenerbahce claimed a 3-1 victory against Istanbul Basaksehir in Zeki Murat Gole’s first match as interim manager.
Nevertheless, dreams of ending their wait for a first domestic title since 2013-14 could still be over this weekend if Galatasaray win their own fixture, regardless of the outcome in Konya.

Whispers prediction: Konyaspor 1-2 Fenerbahce
Despite Konyaspor’s impressive recent run, they have been priced as clear outsiders for this encounter at 6.25, while Fenerbahce are available at 1.41 for victory.
That pricing is understandable given the greater stakes for the visitors, while the hosts could also feel the effects of their demanding midweek cup contest, making an away win at 1.41 the preferred selection.
For punters seeking better value in line with the main prediction, combining a Fenerbahce victory with both teams to score at 3.00 stands out, considering the Yellow Canaries’ defensive vulnerability and Konyaspor’s excellent attacking form.
Meanwhile, both teams to score alongside over 2.5 goals at 2.10 also appeals strongly, while backing the second half to produce more goals at 2.50 looks worthwhile given how eventful the closing stages of recent Fenerbahce fixtures have been.
> Match result - Fenerbahce win at 1.41 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 2.5 goals & BTTS - yes at 2.10 | Likelihood: Possible
> Half with most goals - Second half at 2.05 — Possible | Likelihood: Possible
> Fenerbahce win & BTTS – yes at 3.00 | Likelihood: Possible
