Fethiyespor will host Galatasaray at Fethiye İlçe Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 Turkiye Kupasi campaign. The home side, who ply their trade in the third tier of Turkish football, have endured a difficult league campaign so far and could see their struggles continue into the domestic cup this week as they prepare to face one of the nation’s powerhouses.
Fethiyespor opened their Turkiye Kupasi campaign against Boluspor last month but had to settle for a point as the game ended goalless, further highlighting the Muğla-based club’s recent struggles in front of goal.
Thanks for the submission!
Fresh off a 2-0 defeat to rivals Fenerbahce in the Super Kupa, Galatasaray are set to return to action this week and will be seeking a dominant performance to lay down a marker as they continue their hunt for consecutive Turkiye Kupasi titles.
Cimbom hosted Istanbul Basaksehir in their tournament opener last month and secured a narrow and hard-fought 1-0 win, with Ahmed Kutucu’s well-taken finish giving the champions the lead in the first half before goalkeeper Günay Güvenç made several key saves in the second to preserve their advantage.
Fethiyespor vs Galatasaray Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Tuesday’s game will mark the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
- Fethiyespor’s last competitive encounter with top-flight opposition came in December 2024 when they faced Alanyaspor in a cup clash, losing 4-1.
- Galatasaray are the most successful side in Turkiye Kupasi history, having lifted the domestic cup 19 times while also finishing as runners-up on five occasions.

Fethiyespor vs Galatasaray Prediction
Fethiyespor are in poor form ahead of Tuesday’s game, having won just one of their last 10 matches across all competitions. They are massive underdogs for the clash and will primarily aim to give a good account of themselves and hopefully avoid a heavy defeat in front of their home support.
Cimbom should have little trouble comfortably winning Tuesday’s fixture due to the vast gulf in class and quality between the two teams, with their recent defeat in the Intercontinental Derby likely to provide an additional boost for the reigning champions.
Prediction: Fethiyespor 0-4 Galatasaray
