Fenerbahce is on a remarkable 10-game winning streak and aims to extend it to 11 as they face Trabzonspor at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Saturday night.
Match Preview
Fenerbahce has made a scintillating start to the 2023-24 Super Lig campaign, establishing themselves as one of the best teams in Europe.
The Yellow Canaries have won their first 10 games, sitting at the top of the table with a perfect 30 points.
While they face stiff competition from Galatasaray, Fenerbahce’s recent performances have been outstanding.
In the past month, Fenerbahce has demonstrated even more confidence and momentum.
They have scored four or more goals in four of their last five league matches and have maintained clean sheets in four of them.
Their dominance at home is evident, with five wins from five games and 18 goals scored, making them the highest-scoring team in front of their own fans in the league.
Trabzonspor, while not boasting the records of Fenerbahce, has shown resilience in the Super Lig this season.
They currently hold the sixth position with 16 points after 10 games.
Unbeaten in their last two matches, they secured a narrow 1-0 win against Alanyaspor and settled for a goalless draw against Fatih Karagumruk.
However, Trabzonspor has faced challenges in scoring, with just one goal in their last three outings.
Their away record this season is also less than stellar, with only one win in five games and three losses.
