Fenerbahçe, which defeated Trabzonspor 4-1 in the 30th week of the Süper Lig after trailing 1-0 at halftime, won during a week when Galatasaray had a bye, narrowing the point gap with the top of the table to 3.
Following the match, Rıdvan Dilmen evaluated the yellow-navy blues' championship chances in a statement to HT Spor. Rıdvan Dilmen's remarks are as follows:
“Jose Mourinho is a figure who, in every way, provides material for us commentators and the fans. One must interpret the Jose Mourinho in Turkey. The Mourinho and Guardiola debates started around the 2010s. This is an important thing, but I cannot wrap my head around the Mourinho in Turkey.
They can become champions if the community unites for the 8 remaining matches. There is only a 3-point difference in total. When you consider the 3 points and the head-to-head goal difference today, it is not impossible to close. As long as the community stands by the team at least until the final week of the league.
My prediction for the championship chance is 40 percent for Fenerbahçe. If you remember, I said 40 percent when the point gap was 6, and I am saying 40 percent now as well. What Fenerbahçe needs to do is go match by match."
