It's the third Intercontinental Derby of the season as Fenerbahce and Galatasaray clash in the quarter finals of the Turkish Cup on Wednesday. This match between the Yellow Canaries and the visiting Yellow-Reds comes with our prediction of a draw or an away team win.
The winner of this single-leg elimination match will play the winner of Konyaspor vs İskenderunspor in the semi-finals. Galatasaray are the record winners in this competition with 18 titles, while Fenerbahce are left behind on seven. With the title race in the league very tight, both teams will view this competition as one to win a title. The winner of this tie also has the advantage of knocking out their biggest competitor in this tournament.
Will that be Fenerbahce or Galatasaray? This year's record for Gala against Fenerbahce has been impressive, but will that be sufficient to drive them here? Read further for our prediction and analysis of this Fenerbahce vs Galatasaray Turkish Cup quarter-final.

Fenerbahce Istanbul - Galatasaray: Form Analysis
Fenerbahce won 4-2 away at Bodrum in their last match to claim their second win in the last four outings across all competitions. That sequence included an away win over Rangers in the Europa League, although they would ultimately be eliminated on penalties. However, with this most recent victory, Fenerbahce have come back into the contention for winning the title.
While they remain six points behind with a game in hand in the league, progression in the Turkish Cup could be vital to their hopes of lifting silverware, as the domestic title isn't yet up for grabs.
Home form gives hope for the fans as they have eight wins and two draws from their last 11 matches here. That said, they failed to win their last two matches at this venue.
Galatasaray are unbeaten this season against Fenerbahce.
They won and drew one match each, and crucially that win is a 3-1 result at this venue earlier in the campaign. The visitors still need to do better than in their recent form, as a 2-1 away defeat at Besiktas last time made it just two wins from their last seven matches.
The defending Super Lig champions' away record in all competitions is equally poor, as Galatasaray won two and lost two of their five recent trips. Yet, playing the Intercontinental derby could make things interesting for them.

Fenerbahce Istanbul & Galatasaray Squad Analysis
Fenerbahce have a few injury concerns to think about ahead of this big clash. They have seen Fred and Caglar Soyuncu miss the match against Bodrum due to injuries. They are back in training, though, and the duo is likely to push for a start.
Allan Saint-Maximin featured for just 19 minutes in their last match and could be on the bench again. That leaves Youssef En-Nesyri and Talisca to lead their attack in their 3-4-1-2 formation, leaving Irfan Can Kahveci to play a bit deeper.
Talisca and En-Nesyri have a combined seven goals in this competition this season.
Galatasaray don't have too many inspiring performances from this competition. Six different players have netted once each! Alvaro Morata is once again likely to start behind Victor Osimhen, who will be their lead forward in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Dries Mertens may fancy his chances, but a little under 45 minutes of combined action in their last two matches means he may have to stay on the bench.
Fenerbahce Istanbul - Galatasaray Key Points
- Fenerbahce failed to win five of their last eight matches in all competitions.
- At home, Fenerbahce have a draw and a defeat in their last two matches here.
- Galatasaray have avoided defeat in six of their last seven matches in all competitions.
- On the road, Galatasaray have won four and drawn one of their last seven away competitive matches.

Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Galatasaray Alternative Predictions
Victor Osimhen to score any time
Victor Osimhen continues to be one of the big names in world football despite getting shunted out from Napoli to Galatasaray. He comes to this match in great form, having scored 12 goals in his last nine matches for club and country. He didn't find the back of the net against Besiktas in their last match, but the Nigerian will be a good pick to score here.
