After another underwhelming campaign, Fenerbahce will be eager to end the 2024–25 Turkish Super Lig season on a positive note as they host Konyaspor in Kadikoy.

Trailing champions Galatasaray by 11 points heading into the final matchday, the Yellow Canaries are once again left reflecting on a season of missed opportunities. With frustrations mounting among ers and pressure building off the pitch, a final-day victory would at least offer some respite and a morale boost heading into a crucial summer.

Fenerbahce

Fenerbahce’s season hit a new low with last weekend’s 4-2 loss to already-relegated Hatayspor, a result that has only intensified the unrest among fans.

The backlash is now firmly aimed at club president Ali Koc and manager Jose Mourinho, both under growing pressure to resign after yet another campaign without silverware. Off the pitch, the season has been marked by controversy, including repeated clashes with the Turkish Football Federation, referees, and rival clubs, but none of it changed the outcome: arch-rivals Galatasaray clinched a third straight title with ease.

Saturday’s home clash with Konyaspor threatens to pour more salt in the wound. A defeat could tip fan frustration into open revolt at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium – a scenario the visitors will be eager to exploit.

Team News

Caglar Soyuncu will step in for the suspended Mert Muldur, while Alexander Djiku is expected to partner him in central defence, covering for the injured Diego Carlos.

Fenerbahce’s injury woes persist, with Mert Hakan Yandas, Allan Saint-Maximin, Jayden Oosterwolde, and Rodrigo Becao all still sidelined.

Konyaspor

Konyaspor arrive in Kadikoy looking to end the season on a high despite a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Alanyaspor last time out, which snapped their six-game winning streak at home. Recep Ucar’s side trailed 2-0 by the break and, although Umut Nayir pulled one back, they couldn’t complete the comeback, with Ogulcan Ulgun’s late red card sealing their fate.

Still, the Anatolian Eagles have made strides this season. With 46 points, they’ve already bettered last year’s total and sit 10th in the table heading into the final round. A positive result against Fenerbahce would cap off a season of progress.

That said, Konyaspor’s record against the Yellow Canaries is a concern – they’ve failed to win any of the last four meetings (three losses, one draw) and haven’t claimed victory in Kadikoy since 2020.

Team News

In of personnel, changes will be necessary. Yusuf Erdogan is expected to slot into midfield in place of the injured Marko Jevtovic, with Pedrinho suspended.

Deniz Ertas will start in goal, replacing the injured Jakub Slowik, while Ogulcan Ulgun and Blez Kramer also miss out through suspension. Emmanuel Boateng, Ugurcan Yazgilı, Danijel Aleksic, and Tunahan Tasci are also unavailable through injury.

Conclusion

Victory here would mark a statement finish to a season of tangible progress for Konyaspor, but overcoming a wounded Fenerbahçe side desperate to restore some pride may be a step too far.

With tension already at boiling point in Kadikoy after another trophyless campaign, the Yellow Canaries will be eager to avoid further humiliation and give their fans at least a small consolation. Despite their off-field turmoil and injuries, the hosts still possess enough quality to edge this emotionally charged encounter.
