Sunday's Istanbul derby will see Fenerbahce welcome city rivals Besiktas to the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in a high-profile Turkish Super Lig clash.

The hosts are still very much in the title race and are looking to close the gap on the league leaders. Besiktas, however, are aiming for a third straight victory to secure a top-three finish.

Fenerbahce News

Fenerbahce are pushing hard to dethrone Galatasaray this season but remain four points adrift of the champions. They returned to winning ways in their last match, thanks to Dorgeles Nene's hat-trick in a 4-1 rout of Gaziantep before the international break.

The Yellow Canaries sit second in the table, with eight points separating them from the visitors. They come into this clash high in confidence, winning eight and losing two of their last 14 games across all competitions. They hit the target in 12 games in that stretch, recording only two clean sheets to show their defensive lapses.

Domenico Tedesco's men are on a three-game unbeaten streak at home, winning five of their last 10 matches on their own turf. They have scored at least twice in five of their last six outings, while over 2.5 goals have been seen in eight of their previous 10 matches.

Besiktas News

Besiktas are also in top form and are searching for their third consecutive win. With Nigeria's Wilfred Ndidi at the heart of their midfield, they defeated Kasimpasa 2-1 in their last match before the break.

Sergen Yalcin's side are fourth in the table, eight points behind third. Like their hosts, they head into this fixture full of confidence, having won 11 and lost only one of their last 15 matches. They scored in 14 of those fixtures, keeping five clean sheets.

The Black Eagles have also been sharp on their travels and are unbeaten in their last 13 away matches. Besiktas scored more than once in seven of their last 10 away games and have produced over 2.5 goals in six of their last 10 matches.

Head to Head

Besiktas hold a 4-3 advantage over Fenerbahce in their last 10 meetings, with three draws recorded in that run. The Black Eagles won their most recent clash 2-1 in the Turkish Cup in December.

Verdict

Fenerbahce v Besiktas

Goals have been at both ends in five of the last seven meetings between these sides. With end-to-end action expected, BTTS is strongly tipped.

Not a lot separates both sides, who come into this fixture in top form. Three of their last 10 have ended in draws, with a repeat most likely. Both teams score multiple goals frequently, and with a draw tipped, the match could end 2-2.
