Hatayspor vs Fenerbahce Prediction: Will Djiku Lead a Final-Day Dominance?

Whilst Fenerbahce have lost out on the league title to Galatasaray, they will be aiming to end their campaign on a high as they travel to Mersin Stadyumu on May 26, 2025. Africa Foot expert Bill Eshun looks into the upcoming clash. 

Key Facts

• Hatayspor have won one of their last eight matches
• Fenerbahce have won five of their last seven games

Hatayspor vs Fenerbahce Match Preview

Although Fenerbahce have performed admirably this season, they ultimately fell to the quality of their rivals, who had an in-form Victor Osimhen—one of the best strikers on the planet. However, José Mourinho knows that second place is secured and his side will have the chance to fight for Champions League qualification next season.

Hatayspor, on the other hand, are set for relegation to the lower division following a poor campaign, earning just 23 points from 34 league games. A win against a top side in their final match would offer a glimmer of joy to their fans ahead of life in the second tier.

Djiku Set to Lead From the Back

Alexander Djiku has been one of Mourinho’s most reliable performers this season, clocking 24 matches and missing only a few due to injury. It has been an encouraging season for the Ghanaian defender, who has worked hard to adapt after his move from Strasbourg.

He has plenty to look forward to—including a potential Champions League run next season—and will be aiming to prove to his manager that he’s someone who can be counted on in the big moments.
