Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş face-off for first derby of the season

Hosting Fenerbahçe for the first derby of the Spor Toto Super League season, Beşiktaş has every intention of sending off their arch rivals from the Fiyapı İnönü Stadium without a single point.
Having said 'stop' to their previous bad streak with the Mersin İdmanyurdu win, Beşiktaş will attempt to strip away their arch rival's title of having not lost a single game out of the past 25 played in the Super League as well as having won their past 12 away games.
Beşiktaş's injured players Rüştü Reçber, İbrahim Toraman, Ersan Gülüm and Bebe will not be donning uniforms in tonight's derby game.
Guti and Fernandes, who were both missing in the Mersin İdmanyurdu match line-up will be able to play in the derby as well as Almeida, who has stayed far from the field for a while now due to an injury.
Beşiktaş's probable line-up for tonight's derby is as follows:
BEŞİKTAŞ: Cenk, İsmail, Egemen, Sivok, Hilbert, Necip, Aurelio, Ernst, Simao, Almeida, Quaresma

ON THE FENERBAHÇE FRONT

As the visiting team in the Spor Toto Super League's first derby of the season, Fenerbahçe is determined to walk away with three points.
Heading to Dolmabahçe as the current league leaders, Fenerbahçe will be calculating ways to maintain their success in the Fiyapı İnönü Stadium with five wins over the past six seasons.
Fenerbahçe has yet to lose a game over the past 25 played in the Super League, thereby by beating Beşiktaş they hope to maintain their leader status as well as to add another ring onto their chain of winning streaks in away games.
