Fenerbahce will entertain Trabzonspor at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday. The hosts are in second place in the league table, though they trail league leaders Galatasaray by six points. Karadeniz Fırtınası have nine wins, nine losses, and nine draws in 27 league games and are in 10th place in the league table.
The Yellow Canaries played Bodrum in their previous league outing and recorded a 4-2 away win last week. Milan Škriniar broke the deadlock in the fifth minute, while Oğuz Aydın, Sebastian Szymański, and Talisca added goals between the 32nd and 45th minutes. They lost 2-1 at home to Galatasaray in the Turkish Cup quarterfinals earlier this week.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last two league games. They hosted Göztepe last week and were held to a 1-1 draw. Oleksandr Zubkov equalized just one minute after Rômulo Cardoso put Göztepe ahead. They bounced back with a win in the Turkish Cup quarterfinals earlier this week with a 3-2 home triumph over Bodrum.
