4th position in the Super Lig table for Galatasaray at present, a fine campaign. The home team supporters pray for more entertainment as 7th-placed Fenerbahçe visit Vodafone Stadyumu.
- Galatasaray have the most points from losing position (10) in Super Lig
- Fenerbahçe have won significantly less corners away then at home.
The funny thing about the Turkish capital of Istanbul is that it is one of a few transcontinental cities, spanning across both Europe and Asia. With Galatasaray coming from the European section and Fenerbahce from the Asian section, the name The Intercontinental Derby was given to the matches between these two powerhouses in Turkish football. With both cultural, social and regional differences fuelling the sporting rivalry, the scene is set for drama and action.
Both squads have had ample time to rest since their last exertion in an official match. Let's trust this will be an animated game!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

4-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Super Lig numbers at home for Galatasaray so far this season. There’s a good atmosphere here at Vodafone Stadyumu after three straight home wins.

In the match before that, Galatasaray hosted Lokomotiv Moskva and drew the Europa League game 1-1.The match schedule is unforgiving for Galatasaray as they have a new game in only four days, a Europa League match thankfully also at home. Olympique Marseille are visiting.
The Galatasaray fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Galatasaray are not conceding a lot of goals here at Vodafone Stadyumu in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 5 matches.
Fenerbahçe form and stats
3-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Fenerbahçe in their Super Lig matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Fenerbahçe have lost on their last two travels.
Fenerbahçe delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Kayserispor (placed 13th) in their previous match; a Super Lig game. Fenerbahçe's last match (vs Kayserispor) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Mesut Özil. Fenerbahçe were so close to winning the game against Kayserispor, hitting the post four times. As mentioned above, Fenerbahçe drew the match against Kayserispor. Manager V. de Oliveira Lopes Pereira brought on Mesut Özil to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Attacker Serdar Dursun got a player rating of 7.45 in the game. "Man of the match" Dursun hit the woodwork once, served one assist and hit two key passes.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Antwerp at their stadium, the result 3-0.The schedule is very tough for Fenerbahçe now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at Olympiakos Piraeus is waiting in only four days.
Fenerbahçe have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 7 goals have been scored. 8 goals have been conceded by Fenerbahçe in these games.
