The Super Lig continues to captivate, the Turkish top flight's title race beginning to broaden out towards the business end of the campaign. Fenerbahce travel to Antalyaspor this weekend knowing that losing further ground could kill their title dreams. Currently sixth in the table, they are now eight points behind leaders Istanbul Basaksehir after losing to Galatasaray on Sunday. Antalyaspor will be more concerned about the relegation zone, they are currently five points above it in 11th place. More room will be made if results continue as they have been going. Only two teams in the top flight have conceded more goals than Antalyaspor, who have let in 40 in 23 games, yet recent results show an effort to curb the rate at which they've let in goals. One of the form teams in the Super Lig, Antalyaspor are unbeaten in five matches, winning three and drawing two. In that run, they've only let in four goals.

Fenerbahce are on a run of their own, one that is less desirable. They have lost ground on their championship rivals due to a winless streak of four games, taking one point from the last 12 available. Indiscipline has been a factor in this slump, no team in the Super Lig receiving more red cards than the seven given out to Fenerbahce. Encouragingly, despite the poor results, they have not stopped scoring, finding the back of the net in their last seven matches. We can expect them to continue this streak against an Antalyaspor side that has kept two clean sheets from 11 home matches. However, it seems unlikely that Fenerbahce will recover their form in a tricky away match. We suggest backing this game to finish in a stalemate.
