Fenerbahce welcome Bodrum to Istanbul for a Turkish Super Lig matchday 10 fixture on Sunday. The hosts are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League in midweek.
They went behind to Christian Eriksen's 15th-minute strike before Youssef El Nesyri drew parity four minutes into the second half. The Yellow Canaries now turn their focus to the domestic scene, where their last game saw them share the spoils in a 2-2 draw at Samsunspor last weekend.
Bodrumspor, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Rizespor in the league. Ali Sowe's 83rd-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides. The loss left the Mugla outfit in 12th spot in the standings, having garnered 10 points from nine games, while Fener are fourth with 17 points.

Bodrum, for their part, are competing in the Turkish Super Lig for the first time following their promotion via the playfoff from the TFF First League. İsmet Tasdemir's side have exceeded expectations and are four points above the relegation zone.
Fener are the heavy favourites and will fancy their chances of claiming maximum points. Expect the hosts to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
