- 加拉塔萨雷队在这两支球队的反向比赛中以3比1获胜
- 东道主本赛季赢得了23场超级联赛中的20场
- 费内巴切在之前与加拉塔萨雷的六场德比战中输掉了四场
加拉塔萨雷队可以接近冠军
本赛季的第一场洲际德比是加拉塔萨雷队的比赛，他在劲敌费内巴切队的主场以3比1获胜，他们在9月份的压倒性胜利证明了土耳其超级联赛的未来。
加拉本赛季在联赛中保持不败，自那以后一直保持在巅峰，如果他们在今天的复赛中获胜，他们将领先何塞·穆里尼奥的费内巴切9分。
Okan Buruk的东道主应该有信心做到这一点。本赛季，他们不仅赢得了23场联赛中的20场，而且加拉塔萨雷队最近也主导了这场历史上最激烈的比赛，在与芬纳队的最后六场德比战中赢得了四场。
在欧联杯季后赛中以6比3的总比分输给AZ Alkmaar将让Buruk失望，但这位土耳其教练可能会以此为动力，向连续第三个超级联赛冠军迈进一步。
费内巴切自己在所有比赛中的15场比赛中都保持不败，所以他们不太可能不战而败，但公羊公园的大锅般的气氛应该会激励加拉塔萨雷队在冠军争夺战中取得决定性的成功。
- Galatasaray won 3-1 in the reverse fixture between these two sides
- The hosts have won 20 of their 23 Super Lig games this season
- Fenerbahce have lost four of their previous six derby encounters with Galatasaray
Galatasaray can close in on the title
The first intercontinental derby of the season went the way of Galatasaray, who cruised to a 3-1 victory at the home of fierce rivals Fenerbahce, and their commanding win in September has proved a sign of things to come in the Turkish Super Lig.
Gala, who remain unbeaten in the league this term, have remained at the summit ever since and a win in today’s rematch would see them move nine points clear of Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce at the top.
Okan Buruk’s hosts should be feeling confident that they can do just that. Not only have they won 20 of their 23 league matches this term, but Galatasaray have also dominated this historically feisty fixture in recent times, winning four of their last six derby dates with Fener.
A 6-3 aggregate defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League playoffs will have disappointed Buruk, but the Turkish manager will likely use it as motivation to move one step closer to a third Super Lig title in a row.
Fenerbahce are themselves unbeaten in 15 matches in all competitions, so they are unlikely to go down without a fight, but the cauldron-like atmosphere at Rams Park should spur Galatasaray on to a potentially decisive success in the title race.
