A pair of penalties from Gianni Bruno were enough to see Eyupspor obliterate Etimesgut Belediyespor in a 4-1 home triumph in the fifth round of the Turkish Cup on Tuesday.

Before that, Eyupspor suffered a 2-0 away defeat to Kasimpasa in the league and can only put the blame on their lack of efficiency in the final third. It's worth mentioning that this was their second defeat in the last eight matches, comprising four wins and two draws.

Fenerbahce wasn't involved in any cup tie during the week, meaning they've had plenty of time to prepare for this match, and a drop of points will be unacceptable for a side looking to narrow down the point gap at the top.

Youssef En-Nesyri was the standout player in the Yellow Canaries success over Istanbul Basaksehir, as his brace guided the team to a decisive 3-1 home win in the league. They have secured seven wins in their last nine matches (D1, L1), but they head into this clash after an away 1-0 setback against Besiktas. 

Formation: 4-2-3-1

• Eyupspor has won five of their last seven home matches in the Turkish Lig.
• Fenerbahce has conceded a goal in five of their last eight away matches in the Super Lig.
• Eyupspor has scored first in nine of their last ten matches in the Super Lig.
• Fenerbahce has won five of their last eight away matches in the Super Lig.

This will be the first meeting between these two sides in the Turkish Super Lig.

Fenerbahce are up against Eyupspor, and for some reason, I see the home team making life difficult for Jose Mourinho's men. Let's not forget that Eyupspor are located in the top four in the league standings, and not only that but have held Galatasaray to a draw while defeating Samsunspor which is why I'm a bit hesitant on betting against them despite them being underdogs. 

For this particular match, it's safe to back both teams to score at odds of 1.72. Eyupspor has scored in 11 of their last 12 matches in the Super Lig, while Fenerbahce has seen both teams score in four of their last six matches. 

• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.72
• Anytime Goalscorer - Youssef En-Nesyri for 2.44
• Total - Over 2.5 for 1.67
