Rizespor are unbeaten in their last four league games and have moved eight point off the relegation zone.

Karaman’s side have won their last two consecutive home games but have not recorded a single victory over Fenerbahçe since 2007.

Fenerbahçe are back in the title race following a 1-0 win over Beşiktaş in the Istanbul derby at the Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium.

The Yellow Canaries are currently in third place but are just two points behind league leaders Galatasaray.

The Istanbul giants have their last away game in the league to Gençlerbirliği. The defeat was their first in nine games on the road.
