The 14th week of the Trendyol Super League concludes with the giant derby between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray. The leadership seat, the unbeaten title, critical injury returns, and historical data from over 100 years of rivalry are marking this match.
THE STATUS OF THE TWO TEAMS
Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray will face each other in one of the most critical matches of the season in Kadıköy. Fenerbahçe, the only unbeaten team in the league, comes into the derby in form after winning its last 5 matches. Tedesco's team is in second place with 31 points and will take the lead with a victory. Galatasaray, on the other hand, is at the top with 10 wins in 13 matches. If Okan Buruk's students leave Kadıköy with points, they will maintain their leadership.

Fenerbahçe has no absentees except for those out of the squad. It is not expected that Çağlar Söyüncü and Szymanski, who have recovered from their injuries, will start in the starting eleven, and the decision will be made at match time.

Injured: Singo, Kaan Ayhan, Berkan Kutlu
