The action continues in round 14 of the Turkish Super Lig as Caykur Rizespor take on Fenerbahce at the Caykur Didi Stadium on Sunday. Ilhan Palut’s men will head into the weekend desperate to get one over the visitors, having lost each of their last 12 meetings since March 2019.
Caykur Rizespor were left red-faced last time out when they played out a 2-2 draw with Gaziantep after giving up their lead in the 74th minute at the Gaziantep Stadium.
Thanks for the submission!
Before that, Palut’s side snapped their three-game winless run on October 30, when they edged out 3. Liga outfit Karaköprü Belediyespor 3-0 in the Turkiye Kupasi qualifiers, four days before claiming a 1-0 victory over Fatih Karagumruk on their return to league action.
Rizespor have picked up 14 points from their 12 Super Lig matches so far to sit 10th in the league standings, level on points with Kocaelispor and Konyaspor.
On the other hand, Fenerbahce moved within one point of Super Lig leaders Galatasaray last time out when they secured a 4-2 victory over Kayserispor on home turf.
Domenico Tedesco’s men have now gone nine consecutive games without defeat across all competitions, picking up seven wins and two draws since September’s 3-1 loss against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League.
With 28 points from 12 matches, Fenerbahce are currently second in the Super Lig standings, three points above third-placed Trabzonspor and one point off first-placed Galatasaray.
