Preview

Showdowns between these two Istanbul heavyweights are always exciting and Sunday's affair should not disappoint. While Ersun Yanal's crew has had a season to forget about, they can take pride in ruining their rival's title and, possibly, Champions League hopes.

Climbon trails the league leader by six points with only six games remaining, including this derby. A defeat at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium could be the final nail in the coffin for their dream of defending the Super Lig crown.

It should be noted that Beşiktaş could move within two points of the second and final Champions League spot should Galatasaray suffer a defeat. Fatih Terim's men have their own reasons for winning, though.

Ending their five-game winless run in the Intercontinental Derby would be an advantage. Furthermore, a defeat for Fenerbahce could hurt their chances of surviving the drop. All of this should make for a thrilling encounter.
