Football Bet of the Day: Feathers to fly in Turkey

Fenerbahce v Genclerbirligi
Friday 17:30

In Romania last night, Constanta's craving for goals no doubt got worse than ever after they failed to score at home to Astra Giurgiu, losing the match 0-1 and taking our BTTS bet down with them.

We're hoping Turkey can furnish us with a better result this evening. Since Ersun Yanal took charge of Fenerbahce 12 months ago, they have conceded at least once in 14/16 Super Lig appearances at Şukru Saracoglu Stadium. BTTS has landed in 13 of those games and we fancy it to land again today as free-scoring Genclerbirligi ride into town.

Having won promotion to the Turkish top flight last season, the visitors have kept their heads above water this term. Currently 13th in the 18-team league, they are an even W2-D2-L2 on the road. Those six games have produced 23 goals (for an average of 3.75 goals a game) with the Wind of Ankara scoring 13 times themselves. They've scored at least once in all six matches.

Fenerbahce start today's clash as big odds-on favourites, but their terrible clean-sheet record means we're focusing on BTTS, which has been the right bet in more than 80% of Yellow Canaries home games under Yanal.
