Possibility of two derbies in the same week: Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe could also meet in the cup

A potential Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe matchup is on the agenda among the teams that have reached the quarterfinals of the Ziraat Turkish Cup. If this possibility becomes reality, football fans could witness a derby between the two arch-rivals in both the league and the cup within the same week. The cup match, which would be played at RAMS Park, would see the winner advance directly to the semifinals.

Since Fenerbahçe finished the group stage in second place, they will not be able to participate in the draw as a seeded team. For this reason, the yellow-navies will face their opponent away from home in the quarterfinals. Furthermore, it is not possible for them to be paired with Beşiktaş, who were in the same group, in this round. Depending on the results of the other matches to be completed on Thursday, Fenerbahçe's opponent could also be Trabzonspor.

The quarterfinal draw for the cup is planned to be held between March 9 and March 13. The match schedule and pairings will be finalized on these dates.

The final standings in the cup groups are as follows:

GROUP A

(12 Points) Galatasaray

(9 Points) Trabzonspor

(7 Points) Alanyaspor

GROUP B
