Top of the table Besiktas will play host to Fenerbahce on game week 30 in the Super Lig, a clash that will go a long way in determining the face of the final standings later in the season. Besiktas have 63 points going to the game, five points above their third placed visitors. The 3-2 win over Istanbul Basaksehir in a cup game was Besiktas’ sixth straight victory and in the league, they have a two point gap on second placed Galatasaray, with a game in hand. The hosts have done well lately and a run of nine matches unbeaten definitely is a confidence boost. No team has scored more than Besiktas (62 goals) but they have to improve defensively, having failed to keep a clean sheet in the last three matches. At home, in the Super Lig, Besiktas have done well, with 11 wins in the last 12 matches and have scored two or more in nine of them. They have eight clean sheets in the 12 home league matches heading to this game.

Fenerbahce have had a very shaky run in their recent matches; they go to this game with two wins in the last five matches and only two clean sheets in the last nine matches. They’ve lost four of the last eight matches, and indeed are coming from a 2-1 loss to Genclebirligi. However, Fenerbahce have a good away run in the Super Lig and go to this game unbeaten in the last seven, with six wins in there. Out of their last 14 away league matches, they’ve won 11 and failed to score in just one of the 14. They’ve however not done so well defensively in their away matches, keeping clean sheets in just six. Head to head, this clash is usually a balanced affair; each of the teams has two wins in the last seven meetings, though Besiktas go here with back to back wins over Fenerbahce in the last two meetings.
