Fenerbahce will be hoping this is the weekend they rise back to the top of the Turkish Super Lig, as they host bottom placed Genclebirligi. The loss to Goztepe four rounds ago denied Fenerbahce that place at the summit of the table and now they trail the league leaders, Besiktas by two points. Heading to this game Fenerbahce have 58 points, in third place while Genclebirligi have 21 points, and are in position 21. The hosts are third on goal difference, behind Galatasaray though by the time they get to play the outlook of the table might have changed, with the leaders playing on Friday. Playing the bottom placed side should give Fenerbahce a good chance to pounce, and coming from a 3-0 win over Konyaspor gives them the needed impetus. That win marked the second time in six league matches that Fenerbahce have been able to score more than one goal. It was also their second clean sheet in eight matches and they have to build on it against the weakest team in the league. A look at Fenerbahce’s league form leaves this as one big mismatch. The hosts have two losses, and 11 wins in the last 15 league matches. However, they are winless in their last three at home, losing twice and drawing once. They haven’t scored more than one goal in their last four home games.

Genclebirligi on the other hand, head to this game with no win in their last 11 matches, only nine losses. They’ve failed to score in five of their last 11 matches and post only two wins in their last 16 league matches, with one clean sheet in the process. The visitors have no win in their last seven away league matches. In terms of attack, Genclebirligi have been among the poorest this season, scoring just 22 goals in 27 matches, while they’ve conceded the most – 49. The team has no goal in four of the last five away league matches. They’ve conceded 13 goals and scored just one in the five. Going to this game Genclebirligi have had two players sent off in the last three matches; here they’ll miss French defender Pierre-Yves Polomat who saw red in the 1-0 loss to Istanbul Basaksehir.
