Galatasaray 13/5 to beat Fenerbahce

Galatasaray v Fenerbahce is one of the fiercest fixtures in world football, and the two teams from the European and Asian parts respectively of Turkey’s largest city Istanbul go head-to-head in the Super Lig on Wednesday evening.

Coral have, therefore, picked the fantastic odds of 13/5 for the hosts to win as our bet of the day, so read on to find out why you should back this brilliant bet…

There may be a gap of five places between the two teams, with Gala down in seventh and Fener in second, but season form usually means nothing in this Intercontinental Derby. Instead, home advantage in front of their own partisan fans does.

In seven of the their last eight meetings in all competitions, the hosts have won, and Galatasaray have tasted victory in each of their previous four at the Turk Telekom Arena against their rivals.
