A new Super Lig season is about to begin and this is the first proper fixture for Fenerbahçe and Gaziantep F.K.. Let's get started!

These teams have little in common geographically as Gaziantep F.K. have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

These are hustling days for the host team, as they had a match only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Maribor, was also a home game here at Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleksi. The away team is better rested.
