Happy days for Fenerbahçe in their previous game, a Super Lig match away at Konyaspor (placed 12th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. Before that, Fenerbahçe drew at home versus Antalyaspor.

A decent goal production from Fenerbahçe in their home games so far, with 22 goals from 14 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Fenerbahçe have conceded 17 goals.

Gençlerbirliği form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gençlerbirliği, who have the most conceded goals (49) in Super Lig, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-9 (win-draw-lose). Gençlerbirliği are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Hatayspor fixture. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Gençlerbirliği are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Gençlerbirliği's previous game was their home loss versus Istanbul Basaksehir (0-1). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Gazisehir Gaziantep's place.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gençlerbirliği as they have only managed to score 7 times from 13 away games in the league. Gençlerbirliği struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 25 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Fenerbahçe and Gençlerbirliği have met before this season: Gençlerbirliği - Fenerbahçe 1-5. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - three - one (Fenerbahçe wins - draws - Gençlerbirliği wins). As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
