Fenerbahce and Antalyaspor battle for three points in a Turkish Super Lig round 26 clash on Sunday at the Ulker Stadium Sukru Saracoglu.
The hosts are coming off a 4-1 win at Gaziantep in the Turkish Cup on Thursday. They were 3-0 up at the break, with Talisca scoring either side of Youssef En Nesyri. Anel Husic pulled one back for Gaziantep with 15 minutes left before Filip Kostic wrapped up the scoring in the 83rd minute.
Antalyaspor, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 home defeat to Besiktas. They went behind to Keny Arroyo's 10th-minute strike, while Deni Milosevic equalised in the 64th minute. Rafa Silva scored the winner with 14 minutes left.
The Scorpions now shift their focus to the league, where their last game was a 2-1 home win over Kasimpasa. Fener, meanwhile, played out a goalless draw at arch-rivals Galatasaray in the intercontinental derby.
The stalemate left them in second spot in the standings, with 58 points from 24 games, while Antalyaspor are 12th with 30 points.
