Bodrum and Fenerbahce return to action in the Turkish Super Lig when they square off at the Grey Beton Bodrum Stadium on Friday. Having secured a 2-0 victory in October’s reverse fixture, Jose Mourinho’s men will be looking to complete the double over the hosts and move within touching distance of Galatasaray at the top of the standings.
Bodrum continued their surge from the doldrums as they secured a 2-0 victory over 10-man Caykur Rizespor in their last outing before the international break on March 16.
With that result, Jose Morais’ side have gone eight consecutive games without defeat across all competitions, claiming six wins and two draws since a 3-1 loss against Konyaspor back in January.
This impressive run of results has seen Bodrum surge out of the relegation zone as they now sit 15th in the Super Lig table with 30 points from 27 games, three points above the danger zone.
Trending
Elsewhere, Fenerbahce were guilty of a wasteful display in front of goal last time out as they fluffed several clear-cut scoring chances before settling for a goalless draw with Samsunspor.
Before that, Mourinho’s men were dumped out of the Europa League in the round of 16 as they suffered a penalty-shootout loss against Rangers, following a 3-3 aggregate stalemate with the Scottish powerhouse.
Fenerbahce have picked up 62 points from their 26 Super Lig matches so far to sit second in the standings, nine points off first-placed Galatasaray, albeit with one game in hand.
