Fenerbahce's Super Lig Title Bid Requires a Miracle
Fenerbahce trails Galatasaray by 6 points, with just two matches left. Their upcoming clash in the Turkish Classic could be decisive.
With just two matchdays remaining in the Süper Lig, there are 6 points left to fight for, and Fenerbahce finds themselves 6 points behind Galatasaray. Fenerbahce teeters on the edge of the abyss, but their title hopes are still alive. However, it will take a miracle for them to clinch the championship.
To achieve such a feat, Fenerbahce needs Galatasaray to lose both of their remaining matches while they win theirs. The good news for the "Yellow Canaries" is that their next match is the Turkish Classic.
Next Sunday, Fenerbahce will visit Galatasaray in search of a victory to narrow the gap to three points and, crucially, to tip the head-to-head record in their favor after the goalless draw in the first leg of the tournament.
In this scenario, Fenerbahce would be crowned champions in the event of a hypothetical tie on points at the end of the season. Of course, Galatasaray would also have to lose their final league match against Konyaspor.
The problem for Fenerbahce is that they need Galatasaray to lose both of their remaining matches, and out of the 36 Süper Lig matches played this season, Galatasaray has only lost one. That's why what they need is so challenging, but not impossible.
