Fenerbahçe and Kayserispor meet for the 46th time

In the 36th week of the Trendyol Super Lig, Fenerbahçe will play against Kayserispor at home tomorrow at 19:00. Before the match, the yellow-navies are in second place with 90 points, having secured 28 wins, 6 draws, and 1 loss in 35 matches.

The yellow-reds, meanwhile, are in 13th place with 41 points, with 11 wins, 11 draws, and 13 losses in 35 matches. The Kayseri team had 3 points deducted following investigations by the TFF Club Licensing Board.

In a week where all matches will kick off at the same time, Fenerbahçe is calculating how to defeat their opponent to head into the derby with high morale and reduce the 6-point gap with Galatasaray. If the Canary loses points in tomorrow's match and Galatasaray wins, they will mathematically lose their chance at the championship.
