Fenerbahçe v Eyüpspor: title hopefuls face improving mid-table side | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe host Eyüpspor in the Süper Lig on Sunday, 17 May 2026 at the Şükrü Saracoğlu, with the hosts chasing the leaders and the visitors looking to build on a recent upturn and stay clear of danger.

Fenerbahçe are unbeaten at home in the league and sit second in the table. They're also unbeaten in the listed top-flight head-to-heads with Eyüpspor, winning twice and drawing once.

Kanarya have won their last two league games, 3-1 against Başakşehir and 3-0 at Konyaspor, after losing at Galatasaray. Eyüpspor have three wins in their last four league matches, including 4-0 over Caykur Rizespor and 3-0 against Gaziantep, plus a draw at Kayserispor.

Ederson is suspended for the hosts, while Talisca and Nene Dorgeles are injured. Dorin Rotariu is out for Eyüpspor. With Talisca on 19 league goals this season, his absence could shift more creative load onto Marco Asensio, who leads the division with 12 assists and has 11 goals.

Kanarya's attack has produced 74 league goals at 2.2 per game, with 58% possession and 51.24% shooting accuracy. That front line could test an Eyüpspor defence that has conceded 45. For the visitors, Umut Bozok's five league assists point to a route on transitions and set pieces if they can withstand the pressure.

A home win would keep Kanarya pressing the leaders and strengthen their grip on Champions League qualification. Eyüpspor, sitting 13th, would use any positive result to push further away from the relegation zone.
