In normal circumstances, a game pitting Fenerbahce against Besiktas should be a big game. However, the two sides are struggling, and their clash on Sunday hasn’t attracted the big headlines like before. Fenerbahce, fifth in the standings with 27 points, will be hosting seventh placed Besiktas who have 24 points. Fenerbahce are already 12 points behind league leaders Trabzonspor and they haven’t had a great run ahead of this game. They are coming from a 3-2 loss to Gaziantep and have managed just one win and clean sheet in the last five matches. Fenerbahce have failed to score in one of the five matches and both teams have scored in three of the five.

Besiktas are coming from a far worse run than Fenerbahce. While they have just one win, like Fenerbahce, their defensive run has been poorer. They head to this game without a clean sheet in five matches and have conceded 14 goals in the process. Four times in their last five matches, Besiktas have conceded two or more goals. Among the teams in the top 11 of the league standings, no team has conceded more goals than Besiktas; they’ve already shipped in 24 goals. They however have a three-game unbeaten run against Fenerbahce and will be hoping it plays out here.
