Galatasaray v Fenerbahçe: leaders meet closest chasers in the Süper Lig title race | OneFootball

Galatasaray host Fenerbahçe in the Süper Lig on Sunday, 26 April 2026 in İstanbul, with first facing second and the title race firmly in focus.

Galatasaray lead the table on 71 points, scoring 69 and conceding 23 across 30 matches. Fenerbahçe are on 67 with 68 scored and 30 against, and recent meetings have often been tight with several draws in the mix.

Aslan's April league run features away wins at Göztepe and Gençlerbirliği and a home draw with Kocaelispor after losing at Trabzonspor, plus a Türkiye Kupası defeat to Gençlerbirliği. Kanarya put together three league victories, including a 4-0 at Kayserispor, then drew with Çaykur Rizespor before exiting the cup at Konyaspor.

Aslan are without Metehan Baltacı (suspended) and Yaser Asprilla (injured). Kanarya miss Marco Asensio (injured), the league's top creator with 12 assists. That places greater emphasis on finishers: Mauro Icardi has 14 league goals for the hosts and Victor Osimhen 12, while Talisca leads the visitors with 16 and Nene Dorgeles has nine.

On the numbers, Aslan average 2.3 goals per game, enjoy 61% possession and boast 11 clean sheets, underpinned by an 87.29% pass accuracy and 28.27% cross accuracy. Kanarya also average 2.3 goals, with 59% possession and a striking 50.27% shooting accuracy. The leaders' defence could be the small edge, though the visitors' firepower may yet test it.

A home win would strengthen Aslan's grip on top spot. An away win would pull Kanarya closer and keep the title race alive, while a draw would maintain the current order heading into the run-in.
