Galatasaray Has the Upper Hand in Derbies

Okan Buruk's tenure at Galatasaray points to a clear advantage over Fenerbahçe. In the 8 Süper Lig derbies played since the 2022-23 season, the yellow-red side held the lead for a total of 303 minutes. Fenerbahçe was ahead for only 19 minutes in the same period. The 284-minute gap shows which way the balance has tilted in this rivalry.

Fenerbahçe's only victory on the scoreboard came in the match played at Rams Park on 19 May 2024. The yellow-navy side won that game 1-0 with Çağlar Söyüncü's goal. In the other 7 league meetings of this period, Fenerbahçe failed to gain a lead over its rival.

Attention now turns to the new meeting scheduled for tomorrow. It remains to be seen how the result will affect this striking picture.
