The Turkish Super Lig returns with its second round of fixtures this weekend as Hatayspor hit the road to take on a formidable Fenerbahce outfit at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. Fenerbahce got their campaign off to a winning start last week and will have to work hard to win this game.
Hatayspor secured promotion to the Turkish Super Lig for the first time in their history after an excellent 2019-20 campaign. The winners of the TFF First League also secured a shock 2-0 victory against reigning Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir and are perfectly placed to cause another upset this weekend.
Fenerbahce also managed a victory in its opening fixture of the new season after a late penalty from Jose Sosa secured all three points for the Turkish giants against a feisty Rizespor side. Fenerbahce were not particularly convincing in the first game of their campaign and will need to show tremendous improvement against Hatayspor.

Hatayspor's game against Fenerbahce marks an important event in the club's history. This fixture is the first official game played between the two sides and Hatayspor will be looking to build on their auspicious start to life in the Turkish Super Lig.
Fenerbahce are one of the giants of Turkish football and a victory on Monday will cement Hatayspor's reputation in the country's top flight. The away side managed to defeat Istanbul in its opening game and will want to be at its best against Fenerbahce.
