Top-spot holders Fenerbahce will look to extend their winning run when they come up against fourth-placed Rizespor this weekend. This Super Lig matchday seven will be played at the Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium on Sunday with the hosts having a two-point lead over second-placed Galatasaray and the visitors seven behind. The hosts continued their winning start to the season with a 4-0 win over Istanbul Basaksehir making it their 13th competitive win in a row this season. They have been exceptional at both ends of the pitch, especially in the league. Fenerbahce have the joint-second best attacking record with 13 goals while their defensive record of three goals is the joint-best. With nine goals scored across three home league goals, Fenerbahce have also excelled at this venue and will be keen to extend their momentum.

Rizespor are just outside top-three on goal difference and are coming off a 1-1 draw against Sivasspor. That result extended their unbeaten run to five matches – three wins and two draws. This has been an impressive recovery for the visitors who started the league campaign with a loss. Since then, they have won three and drawn two matches giving them enough leeway to be a top-three challenger. That defeat came on the road though, following which Rizespor have won their last two away league matches.
