Fenerbahce will host Trabzonspor at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The home side have endured a turbulent start to their season with head coach Jose Mourinho departing the club after failing to secure UEFA Champions League football following a 1-0 aggregate defeat to Benfica in the playoff round.
They beat newly-promoted Genclerbirligi 3-1 under the guidance of interim head coach Zeki Murat Gole in their game before the international break, thanks to a first-half brace from Youssef En-Nesyri. Former Belgium boss Domenico Tedesco has since been named as the new manager and will take charge of his first game this weekend.
Trabzonspor, meanwhile, kicked off the new season with three consecutive wins. They, however, had to settle for a point last time out as they played out a 1-1 draw with Samsunspor and had looked set to be headed toward another victory following Paul Onuachu's first-half strike before their opponents leveled things up two minutes from normal time.
The visitors sit second in the table with 10 points and could end the gameweek at the top of the pile should they win on Sunday.

Fenerbahce have picked up two wins and a draw in their three league outings this season and will be confident of a positive result this weekend. They have the home advantage as well and will hope it provides them with a much-needed boost against an in-form side.
Karadeniz Fırtınası are flying at the moment and will fancy their chances ahead of Sunday's game. They have, however, struggled for results in this fixture of late and could lose this one.
