Fenerbahçe vs Eyüpspor: Visitors Seek First Away Goal
Updated
Fenerbahçe host Eyüpspor in Süper Lig Matchweek 6 on Sunday, 20 September 2026 at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul, with both teams looking to correct difficult recent stretches.
Eyüpspor scoreless in two away matches
Eyüpspor sit 17th in the table with three points from their first five matches and a goal difference of minus six. They have lost four of those five games, most recently falling 2-0 at home to Rizespor on 12 September and 3-0 away at Çorum FK on 6 September.
Their away record shows zero points, zero goals scored, and four conceded across two fixtures, including a 1-0 defeat at Beşiktaş on 16 August. In chance quality, Eyüpspor have generated an average of 0.80 expected goals per game while allowing 1.46 over their last five matches. For this trip to Istanbul, injuries rule out both A. Sabiri and I. Taskin.
Talisca leads Fenerbahçe through three-game winless run
Fenerbahçe enter the weekend in 10th place with seven points from five games, having scored eight goals and conceded six. After recording consecutive away wins against Lyon (2-1 on 26 August) and Samsunspor (2-0 on 30 August), they have gone three matches without a victory. That run includes a 2-1 home loss to Beşiktaş on 5 September, a 1-1 home draw against AS Roma on 10 September, and a 0-0 draw away at Gaziantep FK on 14 September.
Talisca remains the primary attacking outlet, having scored five goals in all competitions this season. The home side will take the pitch without J. Oosterwolde and M. Asensio, who both remain sidelined with injuries.
Our model firmly expects a Fenerbahçe win
The previous encounter between these sides ended in a 3-3 draw on 17 May 2026, following a 3-0 Fenerbahçe victory on 20 December 2025. Our model firmly expects a Fenerbahçe win. The projection is supported by Fenerbahçe's average of 1.50 expected goals created against 0.90 allowed, contrasted with an Eyüpspor side that has failed to score away from home this season and has lost four of five league outings.
