The Yellow Canaries went beyond and above the call of duty to justify their role as overwhelming favorites last time out as they thrashed relegation-threatened Istanbulspor 5-1 courtesy of a Cengiz Ünder masterclass performance that saw him bag a haul.

With this win, the Yellow Canaries have now gone nine games without suffering defeat in their away fixtures, but most importantly, they have extended their unbeaten run in the Super Lig to seven matches (W5 D2) and will be confident in stretching that run to eight matches against a side they currently maintain a two match winning streak when playing at home. 

Having accumulated 47 points from 18 matches, Fenerbahce still find themselves occupying first place in the Turkish Super Lig standings, and securing maximum points in this one could see them widen the point gap to three against second-placed Galatasaray, with whom they are level on points.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Livakovic; Muldur, Aziz, Oosterwolde, Kadioglu; Crespo, Yuksek; Tadic, Szymanski, Under; Dzeko

Konyaspor

Form: LWDLD

Despite valiant efforts to find a consolation goal against Galatasaray away from home, it wasn't enough to see Konyaspor avoid an imminent defeat, as a Wilfred Zaha goal and an Abdülkerim Bardakcı brace saw the scoreline read 3-0 at the end of the day.

With this defeat, Konyaspor have now gone seven away matches without a win (L4 D3). Their league form is currently taking a nosedive, resembling a rollercoaster plunging into the thrilling depths of uncertainty, as 2-0 home triumphs against Kayserispor and Kasimpasa have been the only wins recorded in their past fourteen games (L8 D4), and it's safe to say confidence is not one of their best traits at the moment.

Having accumulated 18 points from 18 matches, Konyaspor occupy the 16th spot in the Turkish Super Lig standings, level on points with 17th-placed Samsunspor mired in the relegation zone, and are three points behind 11th-placed Alanyaspor.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Ertas; Ulgun, Demirbag, Calvo, Haubert; Dikmen, Yazgili, Cicaldau; Prip, Oliveira, Moreno
