Fenerbahce came-from-behind to secure all three points against Alnyaspor at Bahcesehir Okullari Arena, thanks to Enner Valencia’s second-half brace from the penalty spot and Emre Mor’s 92nd-minute strike. The result extended their unbeaten streak to seven top flight games, while winning six of those matches. The Beacon of Light have an impressive home-record in the league this term, collecting 28 points from a possible 36 in front of their own supporters. Meanwhile Fenerbahnce’s last four encounters against Besiktas have ended in draws, including a goalless draw in the reverse fixture in October last year.
Besiktas, on the other hand, are also in stunning form, having won each of their last three matches. The Black Eagles have taken 23 points from their last 10 games since the turn of the year. Last time out, Senol Gunes’s side defeated Istanbulspor at home courtesy of goals from Cenk Tosun, Vincent Aboubakar and Nathan Rdemond. It was the Black and Whites’ 14th top flight victory of the season. Meanwhile, Besiktas have the third-best away record in the Turkish top flight this season, having pocketed 19 points from 12 matches on the road. Gunes’ side have a four-pint advantage over fourth-placed Adana Demirspor in the league standings, and a victory on Sunday will take them to within 11 points of league-leaders Galatasaray.
