Fenerbahce take on the visitors Kayserispor in the quarterfinal match of Turkish Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, April 6th at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium (Istanbul).
Fenerbahce are approaching the prestigious mark of 20 championship titles in Turkey. But they just can't get the coveted, jubilee “gold” – since 2014! Moreover, after winning the Super Cup that year, the ambitious Istanbul project cannot add any trophy to its impressive collection. Against this backdrop, the second place that was taken in the last season was already a serious step forward. But they clearly wanted more, tired of the mockery of their neighbors-enemies. As a result, a new coach appeared in the summer, an experienced, albeit controversial, coach, Jorge Jesus. And there were also plenty of newbies. It was precisely such radical changes that were attributed to the failure in the qualification of the Champions League, with a defeat to the first opponent, Kiev's “Dynamo”. Especially since in the fall, the Ukrainians took revenge, also advancing from the group. But then there was a meeting in the playoffs with Sevilla – and they were defeated. And in the Super League, “Galatasaray” is currently stronger. And after losing 2-4 to “Besiktas” in the last round, they need to think more about how not to miss the second place. So, the cup becomes practically the last way to take some significant, tangible prize in 2022/2023.

Kayserispor are rated much lower than their current cup opponent. It is noteworthy that it was precisely in this format that this team achieved maximum and, in fact, the only significant success. In 2008, this club became the unexpected winner of the Turkish Cup. In general, there was a period when they repeatedly managed to climb to 5th place in the Super League standings. Then the team gave up its position, and, for example, in the last season, they only took the 14th position. Although the squad is quite decent now, from Menses in defense to the scoring Gavranovich at the forefront. And it turned out quite significantly to add, and even by the end of winter, “Kayserispor” was considered a contender for a place in European competitions. However, in March there were several defeats in a row, which undoubtedly affected the chances. But in the last round, they managed to win 4-3 at the field of “Trabzonspor”. But in the cup, they have already managed to climb into the quarterfinals, albeit with a fairly loyal draw – the actual struggle will begin from this round.
The “Canaries” have already won three head-to-heads in a row, including in March. But it is worth remembering that just over a year ago, in February 2022, the “Stars of Anatolia” won with a score of 1-0. However, this victory was the first in the last 10 face-to-face matches. In general, the balance of victories looks more than convincing – 30:8 in favor of “Fenerbahce”. Experts are confident that the Canaries will win this game with ease. However, considering the performance of both teams in the last round, it is worth considering the proposal of "total over 3.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
