Bursaspor vs Fenerbahce – Preview & Prediction (Mar. 29, 2026)

Match preview

Bursaspor host Fenerbahce in Round 24 of the Turkish Super League on Sunday evening. The home side have been in freefall lately: their only win in the last two and a half months came against a direct relegation rival, and they’ve lost eight straight since. After 23 games Bursaspor sit 14th with a 6–17 record, and five of those wins have come at home.

Off-court issues look to have dented the team’s form—there have been reports of financial problems and late pay, and that appears to have shown up on the court. Marcus Georges-Hunt has given them a scoring boost since arriving from China, hitting double figures consistently, but his presence hasn’t turned the season around. In their most recent match they only attempted a handful of threes, well below modern norms, which speaks to their offensive struggles. The club recently appointed Roger Grimau as coach until the end of the season, but he inherits a tough situation if they’re to turn things around quickly.

Team news, H2H and prediction

Fenerbahce still have a clear quality edge despite a wobble in form. They ripped off a huge winning run earlier in the season, but have dipped recently—two wins in seven and a current three-game losing streak. Injuries have played a role: Nicolo Melli’s absence has been felt, and recent defensive lapses have seen them concede roughly the high 80s to mid-90s in the games during this slump. Even so, Fenerbahce sit at the top of the domestic table and remain strong contenders in Europe.

Head-to-head, Fenerbahce have dominated this matchup in recent years, winning the last eight meetings, including the earlier meeting this season. Injury news for this game: Bursaspor will be without Goksenin Koksal for the season. Fenerbahce are missing Nicolo Melli and Jilson Bango, while Tarik Biberovic is questionable. Foreign player limits may also affect rotations for the visitors.

Expect Fenerbahce to try to impose themselves early and build a cushion. Their depth and overall talent should be decisive against a Bursaspor side struggling for confidence. This looks like a good chance for the visitors to snap their losing run and regain some momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
