The Turkish Super Lig returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Fenerbahce and Eyupspor square off at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Arda Turan’s men losing at home to Kasimpasa.
Fenerbahce returned to winning ways in style as they thrashed Istanbul Basaksehir 4-1 at the Fatih Terim Stadium two Fridays ago. Before that, Jose Mourinho’s side saw their 17-game unbeaten run in the league come to an end on May 4 when they fell to a 1-0 loss against rivals Besiktas on home turf.
Fenerbahce have picked up 79 points from their 33 Super Lig matches so far to sit second in the table, eight points off league leaders Galatasaray with just three games to go.

On the other hand, Super Lig newcomers Eyupspor dropped three more points in their push for a place in Europe as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Kasimpasa at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium last time out.
Turan’s men have lost four games on the trot, conceding 12 goals and scoring just once since claiming successive victories over Hatayspor and Adana Demirspor in April.
Having gained promotion from the second tier last term, this dire run of results in the season’s run-in has seen Eyupspor drop into fifth place in the table, one point behind fifth-placed Basaksehir in the Conference League qualifying spot.
