Fenerbahce will be hosting Besiktas in the hostile Sukru Saracoglu Stadium Sunday evening in a bid to defeat the Black Eagles who are currently second in the league with 54 points, four points ahead of Fenerbahce.
The last time the to teams met was during the first half of the season when Fenerbahce defeated Besiktas 2-0 away from home thanks to goals from African strikers Emmanuel Emenike and Moussa Sow.
Repeating this success today will keep Fenerbahce in the title race, closing the gaap between them and Besiktas to only one point and between them and Galatasaray to only two (55 points).
However things aren't going very well at Fenerbahce as of late, having won only two matches of their last five, drawing one and losing two with the team's strikers failing to convert any of their chances in the past few games. Tonight it is expected that Emmanuel Emenike will be benched in favour of Alper Potuk.
The match will kick off at 20:00 (Turkish timing) and will be officiated by referee Firat Aydinus.
Expected 11:
Fenerbahçe: Volkan, Gökhan, Alves, Egemen, Caner, Emre, Mehmet Topal, Meireles, Kuyt, Sow, Alper
Beşiktaş: Tolga, Serdar, Franco, Necip, Motta, Veli, Atiba, Gökhan, Sosa, Olcay, Demba Ba
