Turkey, which grabbed a comeback draw against Ukraine in a Group I World Cup qualifier on Oct. 6, is now set to visit a well-motivated Iceland, which achieved an even more striking comeback against Finland on the same night. 

Ankara?s Gençlerbirli?i gave Turkish Spor Toto Super League title contender Be?ikta? a big disappointment ahead of a key derby match against rival Fenerbahçe, which claimed the top of the standings in the fifth week of the campaign. 

A double by Portuguese winger Luis Nani, including a last second free kick goal, earned home side Fenerbahçe a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Antalyaspor on Aug. 30, moving the Istanbul club to the top of the Spor Toto Super League standings.

Spor Toto Super League title hopefuls Be?ikta? and Fenerbahçe have had winning starts to the season, while defending champion Galatasaray was forced to settle for a draw.

Be?ikta? beat Gençlerbirli?i 2-1 in the last matchday of the 2014-15 Turkish Spor Toto Super League season at Osmanl? Stadium in Ankara on May 29, completing the season in the third spot with 69 points.

Turkish striker Cenk Tosun and midfielder O?uzhan Özyakup were the scorers for Be?ikta?, while Gençlerbirli?i's single goal was scored by midfielder Cagri Bulbul.

The close follow-up continues in the Turkish Super League, with no change in the top three for a fourth week in a row Beşiktaş has defended its top seat in Turkey’s Spor Toto Super league for a fourth week in a row, beating Akhisar on Dec. 21 in an Istanbul game.

Beşiktaş cruised past Trabzonspor 3-0 on Dec. 7 at Konya Metropolitan Torku Arena, defending its top spot on the Spor Toto Süper League standings.
