Player to watch: Edin Dzeko
As it stands, Edin Dzeko trails Mauro Icardi by three goals in the race for the Super Lig's Golden Boot, with just one game left to play. The Bosnian forward has been going through a rough patch lately, failing to score in his last five appearances for Fenerbahce.
However, it's important to note that Istanbulspor have conceded more goals than every other team in the Super Lig this season. They saw their defence breached 13 times in their last four matches alone. Considering Dzeko scored in the reverse fixture, it'll be interesting to see how he performs against the worst defence in the league.
