Form Preview
Fenerbahce
Fenerbahce has been struggling for any kind of consistency in recent weeks. It does not sound well for a team that has title ambitions. As a result, the team is in danger of losing touch of the top positions and they are under pressure from the likes of Besiktas. A significant worry for Fenerbahce so far this season has been the alarming rate at which they are conceding goals. Even though the club has scored around goals per game on average, they have also conceded at a similar rate. This has been a vital factor in driving the club down the league table.
Galatasaray
Galatasaray have been able to keep tabs on the league title race by managing to stay efficient in many matches. Fatih Terim has the experience of winning multiple titles and he has been able to get the club in a positive situation by improving the difference. Galatasaray has one of the meanest defences in the 2020-21 Turkish Super League campaign. The club has conceded less than a goal per game and such a run leading up to the Intercontinental derby will be giving a psychological advantage for the visitors. At the other end of the pitch, Galatasaray will be able to challenge for the title in a comfortable manner if the team gets more goals from across the pitch. So far, the goals have been concentrated to players like Radamel Falcao.
