Round 35 of the 2024–25 Turkish Super Lig gets underway with a must-watch Istanbul showdown as Fenerbahce, hanging by a thread in the title race, take on a hungry Istanbul Basaksehir side still eyeing European qualification.
The Yellow Canaries are staring down the barrel, trailing arch-rivals Galatasaray by eight points with just four games left to play. Their championship push took a major hit last weekend, slipping to a deflating 1-0 home loss against Besiktas, a bitter pill to swallow both in terms of bragging rights and league standings.
Meanwhile, Basaksehir are flying high after a confident 4-2 win over Hatayspor. Emre Belozoglu's men controlled the tempo from the first whistle and thoroughly earned their three points. With Fenerbahce's camp rocked by poor form and Jose Mourinho's conspiracy-laced frustrations, the visitors will fancy their chances of walking away with at least a draw.

Istanbul Basaksehir team news
Jerome Opoku will slot in for the injured Ousseynou Ba, while Ivan Brnic, who impressed off the bench last time out, is expected to be rewarded with a start. Onur Ergun misses out through injury.
Fenerbahce team news
Fenerbahce's own selection woes continue. Ismail Yuksek and Mert Muldur are set to fill in for the sidelined Sofyan Amrabat and suspended Caglar Soyuncu. There's still no sign of injured trio Mert Hakan Yandas, Jayden Oosterwolde, and Rodrigo Becao, none of whom were expected to start regardless. On a brighter note, Filip Kostic returns from suspension and should feature from the off.
