The biggest derby for Turkey and number three of the world will be played on Sunday at Sükrü Saracoğlu stadium.

Fenerbahce has an outstanding performance recently which is strenghened by the 4-1 and 5-0 results in the league. After Alex's arrival to the team, attacking options increased and team settled in attack. Especially at home, Fenerbahçe plays always offensively to Galatasaray and find goals easily. Motivation and enthusiasm of the players makes Galatasaray games easier. Tomorrow night, another of this scenario can be happen at Saracoğlu. Also don't forget that this is a cup game and Fenerbahce needs an advantageous score for the second leg.

Galatasaray is the leader of the league but not playing as good as Fenerbahçe at the moment. There are problems in the squad because of many injured players. Topscorer striker Nonda, midfielders Lincoln, Linderoth, Hasan, Ayhan, defenders Hakan Balta and Song will not play against Fenerbahçe. All of this players has a role in the rotation of squad but except Nonda, Hakan and Song rest ha long term injuries. Galatasaray's defence is never trustful without Song. On the other hand, Galatasaray players feels pressure when they came to Saracoğlu, because they last beat Fenerbahçe in 1999.
