Action resumes in the exciting Turkish Super League as third-placed Fenerbahce face fourth-placed Besiktas in a Matchday 11 showdown between two title contenders.
Ayomide Oguntimehin provides the lowdown for the November 2nd clash at the Tupras Stadium.
Besiktas vs Fenerbahce Match Preview
Besiktas have began their hunt for a first league title since the 2020-21 season in less than convincing fashion. The club dismissed former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in August, after losing their UEFA Conference League playoff tie, which meant there was no European commitment for the season.
The Black Eagles have won only five of their ten matches so far, losing three times and recording two stalemates. They are fourth on the standings with 17 points, five points behind third-placed Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce, on the other hand, remain one of the two unbeaten teams in the league this season alongside champions Galatasaray. The club also dismissed Jose Mourinho in August, after the former Chelsea manager failed to lead them to a place in the UEFA Champions League.
The Yellow Canaries have won six of their league games and are just a single point behind surprise second-placed Trabzonspor after only ten rounds of fixtures.
