Fortis Türkiye Cup Match Day: Fenerbahçe v. Şanlıurfaspor
By Nathan L. Redd

Fenerbahçe returns to the pitch on Wednesday in Fortis Türkiye Cup action. The Sarı Lacivert host Turkish third division side Şanlıurfaspor at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. Kick-off is slated for 20:00 (1 PM EST in the U.S.).

While the game seems like a blowout on paper, Fenerbahçe is coming in after a disappointing 2-2 draw with a former second division side on Sunday. Şanlıurfaspor, however, will be looking to play the game of their lives against the most famous club in Türkiye. They'll bring confidence with them, as they have scored two draws against other Turkcell Super Lig teams, Gaziantepspor and Kayserispor. They also have a big 3-0 win over Alanya. Fener needs three points today to keep their Fortis Türkiye Cup championship hopes alive.

Anticipated lineups for Wednesday's matchup are:

FENERBAHÇE:
Volkan Demirel
Gökhan Gonul
Edu Dracena
Diego Lugano
