High-stakes battle in Istanbul

This Sunday, April 6, the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium will host a high-voltage encounter between Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor, part of matchday 30 in the Süper Lig. The match will be broadcast live on beIN SPORTS, with international coverage for a game that could shape the season’s outcome. With their eyes on the championship, José Mourinho’s side cannot afford any slip-ups. Sitting on 79 points, they come into this match after a 4–2 win over Bodrumspor, though still recovering emotionally from their Turkish Cup elimination against rivals Galatasaray.

Key players to watch include Sebastian Szymański, Edin Džeko, and Talisca, central figures in the team’s attacking setup. The Portuguese coach knows that taking all three points is crucial to keep up the pressure on the league leaders.

Trabzonspor looking to spoil the party

On the other side, Trabzonspor arrives without title pressure but with plenty of motivation to climb the standings. Currently sitting tenth, the team from Trabzon is riding a small positive streak after drawing with Göztepe and defeating Bodrumspor in the Cup. Their offensive hopes rest on Oleksandr Zubkov, who scored the team’s most recent goal.

Although recent history favors Fenerbahçe, the reverse fixture earlier this season was a thriller: a 3–2 comeback win for Mourinho’s side, with goals from Fred, Džeko, and Amrabat, overturning a deficit after Simon Banza had netted twice from the spot.

When and where to watch the match

The match will be played on Sunday, April 6, 10:00 a.m. ET, and will be available live on beIN SPORTS. A must-watch clash for fans of Turkish football—and another chance for Fenerbahçe to keep their title hopes alive.
