Player to watch: Mauro Icardi

Mauro Icardi leads the race for the Super Lig's Golden Boot, having scored three more goals than Fenerbahce's Edin Dzeko. The Argentine player was also on the scoresheet in three of the last four skirmishes between these teams. Icardi registered 10 goals and two assists in his nine matches, so it'll be interesting to see how he matches up against Fenerbahce.
