Corendon Airlines Park plays host to Antalyaspor versus Fenerbahçe in Süper Lig (matchday 7). Kick-off: Sunday 29 September 2024 at 18:00 UK time.

Form & Momentum

Antalyaspor have collected 1.20 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L. Last five: L W L W D. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

At home, Antalyaspor have gone 5W 3D 2L in their last 10 home games (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.80 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.20 — Antalyaspor are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Fenerbahçe (all games): 7W 2D 1L across their last 10 — 2.30 points per game. Last five: D W W W L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.40 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Defensively, 0.50 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 8 clean sheets from 10 games (80%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No.

When travelling, Fenerbahçe have posted 7W 3D 0L from their last 10 away outings — 2.40 PPG. They are averaging 2.20 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 5 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (50%) — they are hard to break down on the road.

Fenerbahçe arrive in superior form — a 1.10 PPG advantage (2.30 vs 1.20) that offsets much of the home-ground benefit. The away side are the form pick, with draw protection the sensible way to manage the home-field uncertainty.

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head sample leans to Fenerbahçe, who have 5 wins from 6 H2H matches compared to 0 for the hosts, with 1 draw.

The 6 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.7 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 3 Feb 2024, ended Antalyaspor 0–2 Fenerbahçe — a Fenerbahçe win.

Fenerbahçe have the better head-to-head record despite being the visitors — 5 wins from 6 H2H matches. Home advantage alone is not a reason to dismiss that.

Trading

Antalyaspor half-time and goal-timing data (last 44 games, 22 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 54% of the time; of the 13 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 31%; of the 16 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 44%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 41% of games (home games).

Fenerbahçe half-time and goal-timing data (last 44 games, 22 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; they lead at the break 57% of the time; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 71%; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 48%; they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Antalyaspor 61% versus Fenerbahçe 52%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Antalyaspor 48% | Fenerbahçe 66%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Antalyaspor surrender their half-time lead 31% of the time, while Fenerbahçe have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 71% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Antalyaspor 1.11 xG and Fenerbahçe 1.76 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Antalyaspor attack 1.018 / defence 0.936 | Fenerbahçe attack 1.453 / defence 0.737. League average goals — home 1.481 / away 1.295. Fenerbahçe bring a tight defence (rating 0.737, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Antalyaspor's projected output down. Fenerbahçe have an above-average attack rating of 1.453, which lifts their away xG to 1.76. Data: built from Antalyaspor's last 44 games and Fenerbahçe's last 44.

Result probabilities: Antalyaspor 23% | Draw 25% | Fenerbahçe 52%. Fair-value odds: Antalyaspor 4.35 | Draw 3.94 | Fenerbahçe 1.94. Fenerbahçe hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 56% | Total xG 2.87. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.87 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 56% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Fenerbahçe at 52% — moderate model lean. Recent form and the head-to-head data both align with the Poisson read — multi-source corroboration increases confidence in this selection. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Fenerbahçe if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.87 combined xG gives a 55% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Antalyaspor's last 10 home games and Fenerbahçe's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 56%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Antalyaspor 70% (last 10 home games) | Fenerbahçe 50% (last 10 away games).
