The Yellow Canaries have been beyond exceptional this season, and it's highly likely that they are going to give the defending champions a run for their money as they aim for glory.

Fenerbahce weren't about to put the brakes on their winning momentum, even if it meant they were confronted with adversity as they convincingly defeated Istanbul Basaksehir 4-0 at home.

Their reign of terror in the early stages of the season has seen them record fourteen consecutive wins in all competitions, an impressive run that added to their success in the Europa League, winning 3-1 at home against Nordsjælland on the first matchday.

They currently occupy first place in the standings with 18 points and are a nerd, two points ahead of second-placed rivals Galatasaray.

Never did Rizespor expect the spotlight to shine on them as a newly promoted side playing in the top flight, as all eyes were on second-tier league table-toppers Samsunspor to make the headlines while the title of whipping boys crash landed on them.

However, with six matches in, they are already the talk of the town, as their performance, despite not being perfect, has exceeded expectations of their fans as they have won three, drawn two, and lost once.

Their most recent match against Sivasspor at home saw them salvage a point in a 1-1 draw, an outcome they were satisfied with. This extended their unbeaten run in the league to five matches, picking up three wins and two draws.

They currently occupy fourth place with 11 points in the standings, level on points with third-placed Adana Demirspor, and are one point ahead of fifth-placed Hatayspor and sixth-placed Besiktas.

In the last 33 meetings, Fenerbahce have won 23 times, Rizespor have won 3 times, and there have been 7 draws, with the goal difference being 73-34 in favor of Fenerbahce.

The Yellow Canaries have been impressive with their performance up to this point, and it is unlikely that they will suffer defeat in this one despite their opponents showing resilience in their matches. Given that they are currently on an eight-match winning streak when playing at home in this fixture, there's no doubt they will extend their momentum even further with a favorable outcome.

The last twelve meetings between these two sides have seen the total exceed 2.5 goals in eleven of those matches, and as such, we anticipate the same trend to continue here, combined with a convincing win for the home side.
