Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce preview

The mother of all derbies is likely to be a pretty one sided affair if the past results of the two teams are to be taken into consideration.

Fenerbahce currently lead the race in Turkish Super Lig, having won nine straight games in all competitions and they are 2.25 (5/4) at Paddy Power to make it ten in a row.

After scoring exactly 12 goals in their last four away games, Fenerbahce are 2.20 (6/5) to score at least two goals at Bet365.

Influential midfielder Emre is likely to miss out after picking up a thigh injury against Konyaspor, with Caner Erkin likely to deputize.

This season have been going from bad to worse for Galatasaray and coach Gheorghe Hagi is very close to being sacked.

After losing 12 out of 25 league games this season, Cimbom currently sit in 11th place, which has got to be seen as an utter disappointment for the Turkish giants.

The hosts are completely low on confidence after losing to Ankaragucu at the weekend and it would take a real miracle for them to win this game.

Boss Hagi is unlikely to make big changes to the team that started the Ankaragucu game, although Arda Turan could start despite recently returning from a lengthy injury lay-off.
