It all comes down to this: after months of a neck-and-neck race for the Turkish Super Lig championship, the match of the season comes this Saturday as title contenders and eternal rivals Galatasaray and
Fenerbahce clash in the infamous Istanbul derby.
The two leaders are alone at the top, 23 points ahead of third-placed Besiktas. Galatasaray finally gained a three-point advantage last weekend, but a loss to Fener could erase that small margin. On the other hand, an away win would open up a six-point lead and, with only three matches to go, virtually assure Cimbom a 16th league title.
