Turkish Super Lig: Fenerbahce v Galatasaray betting preview and tip

Sunday 5pm

Galatasaray's Super Lig title hopes are fading fast but they will need little motivation to nudge their arch rivals Fenerbahce closer to the drop.

The hosts have chopped and changed managers this term, with Ersun Yanal taking the reins from caretaker boss Erwin Koeman in December, and they have struggled to string together positive results.

They have had few issues in the final third, netting three in another Istanbul derby away to Besiktas in February and finding the net in each of their last eight assignments in all competitions.

Punters unfamiliar with the Super Lig will recognise many of their attacking outlets including Andre Ayew, Roberto Soldado and Victor Moses.

But while their free-flowing football can trouble the fiercest of defences, their backline continues to be a cause for concern.

They have conceded more goals (38) than basement boys Erzurumspor (37) and the disparity in defences between them and their rivals could prove to be the difference.

Galatasaray have kept successive clean sheets over Yeni Malatyaspor in the Turkish Cup and league and will be eager to compound the misery of their Istanbul rivals, who have only two wins in their last seven matches.

The reverse fixture finished 2-2 in November but the visitors look in better shape. Galatasaray have not lost in the league since early December and look a big price for a derby victory.
