The rivalry between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce has always brought excitement, tension and drama but extra significance is placed on Sunday’s Istanbul derby with top spot in the Süper Lig at stake.
Both sides come into the encounter at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in great form having won their last three league matches.
The hosts have the edge in the head-to-head record with Galatasaray, winning 23 matches whilst the visitors have won the derby 15 times with 17 draws between the two teams.
Galatasaray came out victorious the previous time they both met in this fixture at this venue last season in a 3-1 win over 10-men Fenerbahce. This season’s match at the Türk Telekom Stadium finished in a goalless draw.
Despite plenty of more games to come, this upcoming clash between two fierce rivals could be the season-defining game in where the Süper Lig title is heading.
Who do you think will win?
