With only 10 matches left for each team in Turkey’s Spor Toto Super Lig, the title race continues full speed ahead with matches this weekend.
Fourth-place Fenerbahce will look to add to their two-game winning streak as they take on Atiker Konyaspor at home on Friday.
On Saturday, the spotlight will be on Medical Park Arena, as Trabzonspor -- who have not lost a match in 2017 -- will square off against third-place Galatasaray, who won their last two games at the last minute.
On Sunday afternoon, title-chasers Medipol Basaksehir will play against Kardemir Karabukspor at home, where they have not lost yet in 12 matches.
The week will end with league-leaders Besiktas -- who eliminated Olympiacos in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday to advance to the quarter-finals -- taking the floor against Antalyaspor in an away match.
Below is the schedule for the 25th match week (all times are local):
Friday:
20.00 Fenerbahce - Atiker Konyaspor
