Fenerbahce benefited from a slow weekend by all their opponents, taking a big step as they were the only winners in the top five in the 31st round of matches. As a result they leapt from third to second with 62 points and will be playing away to 16th placed Yeni Malatyaspor, who have 32 points so far. Only a better goal difference keeps Yeni out of the relegation region and after an 11-game winless run it is not getting any rosier with the season drawing towards the end. They’ve managed only two wins in the last 19 matches across all competitions, and in the Super Lig, they have six losses in the last 11, leaving the team with five points from a possible 33 in the 11 matches. In their last five matches they’ve conceded 10 goals but scored six and at home, in the league, they’re winless in the last six matches. Yeni will be on a back foot here, having four losses and having failed to score in four of the last six home league games while they’ve conceded two or more in five of the last nine at home. The team should have won a point in their last game against Istanbul Basaksehir, but switched off in the final three minutes and conceded twice to lose 3-1. Even when playing at home, it hasn’t been rosy for Yeni, who have managed only five wins in 15 matches. They have a 33% winning rate at home, and out of a possible 45 points there, they’ve secured just 20.

Fenerbahce suffered a 3-0 loss at home to Yeni Malatyaspor in their December meeting. Ahead of this game they know a win might see them go top so they have a higher mission than just seeking to avenge that loss. Going to this game, Fenerbahce have slumped in attack, and as a result, have only scored more than a goal in two of their last 10 matches. Here, they’ll hope to build on the 1-0 win over Denizlispor, where Tanzanian international Mbwana Samatta scored his fifth goal of the season. The win served their third clean sheet in 10 matches and they’ve conceded more than a goal in two of the 10 matches. For four matches now Mesut Ozil has been out with an ankle injury and as the German spends time on the sidelines, the team is lacking the needed creativity. However, they are a different class when playing away from home, with an eight-game unbeaten away run as they head to this clash. In the eight matches, they have six wins and four clean sheets. One loss and 11 wins in the 15 away league matches place Fenerbahce as the best performing away team, with a 73% winning rate. They’ve collected 36 out of a possible 45 points away from home.
