The Apaches set foot at the Bahçeşehir Okullar Arena in their recent match against Alanyaspor with an underdog tag behind their backs, which was a costly mistake from bookmakers as they demonstrated their worth in that match to eke out a 3:1 victory to extend their winning streak to three matches.

In that match, there was no separating either side in the first half as they played out a goalless draw, and four minutes into the second half, they found themselves trailing behind by a goal, which wasn't that much of a huge issue for them as they restored parity through Papy Djilobodji's strike in the 60th minute, which opened a floodgate for two more goals to be scored, making it certain that the three points were theirs for the taking.

Playing at home has witnessed them suffer one loss against Konyaspor (2:1) while going the extra mile to record four wins and a draw to accumulate 13 points, a run that has typified consistency on their part, and it goes without saying they'll be a tough nut to crack in this clash. 

Having finished the previous season in 11th place with 53 points, this time around destiny has favored them for a top-half finish, as they currently occupy 10th place with 43 points, three points adrift of 9th place.

The Black Eagles made the trip to 5 Ocak Fatih Terim to lock horns with Adana Demirspor, and they managed to get the job done by living up to their billing as favorites as they claimed a 4:1 victory to bag all three points. 

In that match, they found themselves trailing by a goal in the opening 19 minutes, but there were no signs of panic from their side, as they have been accustomed to coming back from a goal down to win matches, and they did just about that as Vincent Aboubakar's first-half stoppage-time equalizer was enough motivation to see them seal the deal for a commanding victory, which saw three goals being scored in the second half.

Senol Gunes' has had nothing to complain about when it comes to his side's terrific performance when playing away, as a 1:0 loss against Sivasspor has been the only loss recorded in their last 11 matches, where seven wins and three draws were recorded to accumulate 24 points, and their success in this clash is not one to be doubted given those results obtained. It's also worth noting that they are currently on a three-match winning streak.

They presently occupy second place with 74 points, where they have kept a healthy eight-point lead over fourth-place Adana Demirspor and are only three points adrift of second place, which means they can't rest on their laurels as of yet if they are to conclude the season in that aforementioned position.

Formation: 4-2-3-1
