Super Toto Super League

Beşiktaş beat Çaykur Rizespor, the relegation-threatened Black Sea side 1-0 in a tight game in Istanbul, defending its cushion with the remaining contenders on March 4. 

Super Toto Super League leader Medipol Başakşehir, a giant killer turned title contender, is set to pay a crucial - if not historic - visit to Fenerbahçe on Jan. 22.

Başakşehir tops the standings with 39 points from 17 weeks so far and is the sole unbeaten team in the league. 

However, coach Abdullah Avcı still avoids speaking of a title challenge and remains cautious.

Turkey's Beşiktaş will put its unbeaten record in the Champions League on the line on Nov. 23 when it hosts Portugal's Benfica at its Vodafone Arena Stadium.

Beşiktaş is just a point adrift of the top pair, Benfica and Napoli, heading into the last two matchdays in the group.

Be?ikta? reclaimed the top seat in the Super Toto Super League Feb. 8 after four weeks, in a season which has already turned into a Sisyphus effort, only one day after rival Fenerbahçe failed to find the net at home against Black Sea giants Trabzonspor.
