Fenerbahce start their 2025/26 Super Lig campaign when they host a hungry Alanyaspor side in what should be a highly entertaining clash on Saturday night. The Fenerbahce vs Alanyaspor clash will take place at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium as both teams look to begin their respective league campaigns on a positive note. Here we look at our Fenerbahce vs Alanyaspor preview.

Fenerbahce will need to start their Super Lig campaign in positive fashion if they aspire to strongly challenge for the title in the 2025/ season. They finished in second place, 11 points behind Galatasaray last season, but aim to be more dominant and consistent with picking up regular wins to establish themselves as strong title favorites from the get-go.

Jose Mourinho will be aiming to motivate his players to produce a clinical performance in their league opener and play on the front-foot. While he will push on maintaining a strong defensive nature, he'll be prioritizing quick, attacking football to thrill the fans and so that Fenerbahce can be in the top of the standings from the opening week.

Alanyaspor are going to be pushing to assert themselves as a team to compete for a place in the top-half of the Super Lig table this season and look to make a statement of intent by defeating Fenerbahce. They finished in 12th place in the 2024/25 campaign, but need to be more ruthless to turn some of the frustrating results into wins and climb up the table this time around.

Joao Pereira has his work cut out for him in season ahead, and needs to produce a tactical masterclass to upset Mourinho's side in the season opener. He will need to shape his side to be extremely sturdy defensively and also for them to be ruthless on the transitions to surprise their opponents and get a positive result.
