Hatayspor vs Fenerbahce prediction 26.05.2025 | Super Lig

• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: Monday, 26th May, 2025
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
• Venue: Mersin Stadyumu (Mersin)

In the 35th round of the Turkish Super Lig, Hatayspor and Fenerbahce, two teams without a motive in the remaining games, will face off at Mersin Stadyumu in Mersin.

Hatayspor have been among the relegation contenders in the last two seasons but managed to survive somehow. However, this season, they will not be as lucky, considering they are already relegated regardless of the results in the remaining two rounds. Right now, they are in 18th place with 23 points from 34 rounds - 16 points away from the safe zone! It was evident from the start of the season that the so-called "Star of the South" was simply not good enough, and they deservedly suffered relegation.

Fenerbahce invested a lot of money, adding high-profile players and one of the best coaches in the world, Jose Mourinho. They had high hopes not only in the domestic competition but in Europe as well. However, they failed to fulfill their goals, ending the season without a trophy. Once again, in the Super Lig, Fener will finish second, behind their arch-rival, Galatasaray, regardless of the results in the last two matches.

Hatayspor vs Fenerbahce pick: Over 3.5 goals

Hatayspor just played their best game of the season, winning 5:0 against Adana Demirspor. Their offense has been pretty good lately, scoring at least a goal in the last six matches. However, their defense has been atrocious throughout the season. Because of a solid offense lately and a terrible defense, they went over 3.5 goals in four of the last five matches - 80%.

Fenerbahce have been fantastic for this bet - the best in the league with 20 out of 34 games ending with four or more goals. The main reason for that is a fantastic offense, especially in recent games. In the last seven matches, they scored two or more six times and three or more on four occasions! On the other hand, defensively, Fener haven't been on an expected level as they failed to keep a clean sheet in nine consecutive games.

Considering all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
