The Turkish Super Lig returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Fenerbahce and Sivasspor square off at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday. Jose Mourinho’s men are unbeaten in eight straight games against the visitors since May 2021 and will head into the weekend looking to extend this dominant three-year streak.
Fenerbahce were condemned to their first Europa League defeat of the season on Thursday when they lost 3-1 against Eredivisie outfit AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion.
Before that, Mourinho’s side were on a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions, claiming three draws and four wins, including back-to-back victories over Bodrum and Trabzonspor in their last two league matches.
Fenerbahce have picked up 23 points from their 10 Super Lig games so far to sit third in the table, five points adrift of league leaders Galatasaray.

Elsewhere, Sivasspor had to dig deep last weekend when they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Caykur Rizespor at the New Sivas 4 Eylül Stadium.

With 17 points from 11 matches, Sivasspor are currently sixth in the Super Lig standings but could move level on points with fourth-placed Besiktas with a win this weekend.
