EYÜPSPOR VS. FENERBAHÇE: HEAD TO HEAD

Fenerbahçe and Eyüpspor will meet for the first time in Süper Lig history. Eyüpspor, playing in the top division for the first time this season, has achieved successful results at home, earning 16 points from 7 matches. The team, coached by Arda Turan, lost 2-1 to Beşiktaş away but drew 2-2 against Galatasaray in an away match.

ALEXANDER DJIKU RETURNS

Fenerbahçe’s Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku, who missed the Başakşehir match due to a yellow card suspension, will be available for the Eyüpspor match. Goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat and Mert Hakan Yandaş, who were also absent due to injury, are expected to be in the squad.

FOCUS ON FENERBAHÇE’S STRIKERS

All eyes will be on Fenerbahçe’s strikers, Dzeko and En-Nesyri, in the Eyüpspor match. Both players scored three goals in the RAMS Başakşehir match, and it is uncertain whether Mourinho will start with two forwards. Mourinho has typically started with Dzeko in league matches, while En-Nesyri may be used as a substitute in the second half.

İSMAİL YÜKSEK TO PLAY HIS 100TH MATCH

İsmail Yüksek, who has played 99 official matches for Fenerbahçe so far, will reach his 100th appearance if he plays against Eyüpspor. After missing the RAMS Başakşehir match, Yüksek will make his 100th official match appearance if he plays in Fenerbahçe’s final match of 2024.

AWAY TEAM WITH MOST GOALS

Fenerbahçe has played 8 away games this season. The team has won against Çaykur Rizespor, Kasımpaşa, Antalyaspor, Trabzonspor, and Kayserispor, while drawing 2-2 with Göztepe and Samsunspor. Fenerbahçe lost 1-0 in their last away match against Beşiktaş. Mourinho’s team has earned 17 points on the road, scoring 22 goals and conceding 9. Fenerbahçe is also the highest-scoring team away from home.

THE TEAM WITH THE FEWEST GOALS CONCEDED IN THE LEAGUE

Fenerbahçe has been impressive not only in attack but also in defense this season. The team has conceded just 14 goals in 15 matches, making them the team with the fewest goals conceded in the league. Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, who has started every match this season, has kept a clean sheet in 7 matches. Livakovic, however, was injured in the last league match, leaving his place to Ertuğrul Çetin.
