Fener looks to pressure Super League leader

ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News

Fenerbahçe’s Miroslav Stoch (R) had a goal against Mersin İdman Yurdu.

Fenerbahçe visits troubled Samsunspor in one of four Spor Toto Super League games tonight.

The Yellow Canaries beat Mersin İdman Yurdu last week and piled on the pressure over rival and leader Galatasaray, whose 14-week unbeaten streak came to an end against Bursaspor. Galatasaray has 50 points, two over Fenerbahçe. Beşiktaş has 45 points.

Beşiktaş, who also lost to Kayserispor on Jan. 29, takes on Mersin İdman Yurdu also tonight.

Samsunspor desperately needs points as the Super League newcomer is 17th with 17 points.

Elsewhere, Sivasspor meets Kayserispor and Manisaspor hosts Eskişehirspor, who has not won in its last seven league games.
