After two seasons in the second division, Goztepe made their return to the top flight with a goalless draw against Antalyaspor in their season opener. Without a single complaint, this was a positive result, considering they were outplayed in all aspects of the game. 

Despite having home advantage at their disposal, Stanimir Stoilov's team is aware that securing another point could be a difficult task this time around as they go up against a Fenerbahce side they've defeated once in their last seven matches.

Formation: 3-5-2

The Yellow Canaries failed to make amends after losing 2-1 against Lille in the first leg of the third qualifying round, as they played out a 1-1 draw on Tuesday in the second leg at home. This resulted in their elimination from the Champions League due to a 3-2 aggregate loss.

They now turn their attention to the domestic league, where they secured a 1-0 home victory against Adana Demirspor in the season opener. They approach this match seeking to reignite their confidence. Currently, they occupy 4th place in the Turkish Super Lig standings with three points on board.

Formation: 4-2-3-1
