Preview: Fenerbahce vs. Sivasspor – Team news and prediction

In the Turkish Süper Lig, it appears that the championship will be decided between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. The two are closely positioned in the league with 37 and 34 points, respectively. Fenerbahce, with a win tonight, can reach 37 points and, with a better goal difference, reclaim the top spot from Galatasaray. Sivasspor is part of the relegation struggle with 15 points and a 3-point cushion above the relegation zone. Points in tonight's match would provide them with some relief and the opportunity to look up the table.

Fenerbahce enters the match with a massive blow to morale, having suffered a heavy 6-1 defeat to FC Nordsjælland in the Conference League midweek. The performance, marked by lackluster effort and a lack of fighting spirit, almost cost İsmail Kartal his job as the manager. Therefore, it is expected that the team will approach tonight's match with a completely different mindset.
