Kasimpasa — Fenerbahce : Match Preview and Prediction for September 21,2025

Kasimpasa’s Recent Resurgence

Shota Arveladze’s team endured a difficult start to the season, marked by a string of defeats, but they now appear to have rediscovered their form. Kasimpasa has earned all four of their points in the last two matchdays. What makes this even more remarkable is that both fixtures were away games. They first secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Fatih Karagumruk, followed by a goalless 0-0 draw against Samsunspor.

Offensive Approach Against Samsunspor

During their clash with Samsunspor, Kasimpasa certainly did not adopt a defensive posture. The team registered 17 shots on the opponent’s goal, significantly more than the home side’s 10. Arveladze himself highlighted after the match that his players fashioned two or three highly dangerous opportunities but were ultimately unable to convert them.

Home Ground Advantage

A critical factor to consider is their performance on home turf. Statistics paint a clear picture: Kasimpasa has not lost by more than a single goal in their last 9 consecutive home matches. Their stadium is their stronghold, a fortress where they fiercely challenge any opponent and refuse to be easily dismantled.

Fenerbahce Navigates Turmoil

The Turkish football powerhouse is currently navigating a period of turbulence. In their previous league fixture, Fenerbahce squandered a home victory against Alanyaspor, conceding a goal in the 90+3 minute to draw 2-2. This significant setback occurred amidst severe internal challenges plaguing the club.

Off-field Distractions and New Management

Fenerbahce is in the midst of presidential elections, the club is rattled by various scandals, and the incumbent president, Ali Koc, has been referred to the Disciplinary Committee. Such an environment surrounding the team inevitably impacts the atmosphere and players’ focus. For new head coach Domenico Tedesco, this will mark his first away match at the helm of the “Canaries,” adding an element of uncertainty to the encounter.

Squad Concerns and Injury Update

Concerns also persist regarding squad availability. Injured forward John Duran is definitively out of contention. The participation of midfielder Edson Alvarez remains doubtful, with the coaching staff set to make a final decision on his status at the last possible moment.
