Fenerbahce vs Galatasaray Prediction
Fenerbahce are currently top of the league table, having won 14 of their first 16 league games. They are level on points with Galatasaray, and so this game takes on even more significance.
The evergreen Edin Dzeko continues to be a consistent goalscorer wherever he plays, with his new adventure in Turkey seeing him already register 12 league goals this season. They have names like Michy Batshuayi, Dusan Tadic and Cengiz Under as part of their attack, having assembled an interesting squad.
Galatasaray, too, have won 14 of their first 16 league games, and like Fenerbahce, have won their last four league fixtures. Their squad has come under attention following some interesting summer signings, which included the likes of Mauro Icardi on a permanent deal, Wilfried Zaha, Hakim Ziyech and Davinson Sanchez.
Like Dzeko, Icardi has also registered 12 league goals this season, and after some tumultuous recent years seems to have found some consistency once again. Also in good form is Kerem Akturkoglu; the 25-year-old has been linked with a move away.
A close game is on the cards, as two top Turkish teams face each other. A draw seems likely.
Prediction: Fenerbahce 1-1 Galatasaray
