Competition: Turkey Super Lig
Date: Sat 28.September
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Türk Telekom Stadyumu (52695 seats)

Only a few games have been played in the Super Lig so far, with Galatasaray placed 7th and Fenerbahce sitting in the 2nd position.

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.

Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Galatasaray form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Galatasaray's two home games in the Super Lig so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Türk Telekom Stadyumu.

Galatasaray manager F. Terim and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Yeni Malatyaspor (placed 8th) in the Super Lig. Before that, Galatasaray played out a Champions League draw 0-0 when visiting Club Brugge.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Galatasaray have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Galatasaray as they have a new game in only three days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. PSG are visiting.

At Türk Telekom Stadyumu, Galatasaray has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Fenerbahçe form and stats

Fenerbahçe are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Super Lig against Ankaragücü (placed 15th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Alanyaspor wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
