Fenerbahce will be looking to keep their title hopes alive when they host Antalyaspor in a Turkish Super Lig fixture at Sukru Saracoglu on Tuesday night. The Yellow Canaries are currently occupying second spot in the Turkish top flight standings, having collected 74 points from 33 games, five adrift of leaders Galatasaray, with three games remaining. The visitors, meanwhile, are sitting at the 13th position in the table, with 38 points to their name. The Scorpions are already assured of safety having secured a 13 point lead over 18th-placed Gaziantep.

Fenerbahce are heading into the match on the back of a dominant 3-0 win over Sivasspor in the second leg of their Turkish Cup semi-final tie on Tuesday night. Second half efforts from Ferdi Kardioglu, Michy Batshuayi and Joshua King helped the Yellow Canaries go through to the final of the cup competition where they will face Istanbul Basaksehir on June 11. The result helped Jorge Jesus’s side to extended their unbeaten run to 11 games across all competitions, recording eight victories in the period. When it comes to the top flight, the Beacon of Light have won 23 league-matches this term and their last top flight success came against Trabzonspor less than two weeks ago. Meanwhile, Fenerbahace’s home-form in the league hasn’t been very great this term, having taken 35 points from a possible 48, while they have the best away-record, with 12 wins from 17 top flight games on the road.
Antalyaspor, on the other hand, are heading into the match on the back of a goalless draw against Basaksehir in the league last Sunday. The result extended their winless run to three games, losing once in the period. The Scorpions have recorded ten Turkish Super Lig wins this term and their last success came against Karagumruk towards the end of April, thanks to Dogukan Sinik’s lone goal in the first-half. Although Nuri Sahin’s men have taken just 14 points from 16 away-games in the league this term, they are undefeated in their last four league-matches on the road, while collecting six points in the process.
