Fenerbahce will resume their pursuit to reel in the league leaders when they host 15th placed Istanbulspor in a Super Lig clash on Monday evening. The hosts are in second place in the Super Lig standings, six points behind the leaders Galatasaray and just four points above Besiktas in third place. Fenerbahce won their last league match 2-1 against Istanbul Basaksehir to register their sixth win in their last seven league matches, with a solitary loss against Besiktas at the start of the month. The hosts have been good on their home patch this season, recording ten wins, one draw, and three losses in 14 matches at Ulker Stadyumu Fenerbahce, though two of those losses did come in their last four home matches, dropping valuable points against Galatasaray and Besiktas. Fenerbahce won the reverse fixture 5-2, and with fewer than 10 matches left in the season, the hosts will know that there is no room for error.

Istanbulspor, meanwhile, are still looking nervously over their shoulders, still firmly involved in the relegation scrap at the other end of the table. The visitors currently sit in 15th place in the league standings, with 28 points in as many matches, just one point above Giresunspor, who are the first side in the drop zone. Istanbulspor earned a valuable point from the 3-3 draw in their last match against Antalyaspor. Over their last six matches, Istanbulspor has won two, drawn one, and lost three, while on the road this season, their record reads as four wins, one draw, and nine losses in 14 matches. Istanbulspor have failed to take even a point off this opponent in their last seven attempts, and with plenty on the line for Fenerbahce, the visitors are going to struggle to take anything from this one.
