This Istanbul derby is set to begin at 1745 GMT at Riyadh's Al-Awwal Park (King Saud University Stadium), with Abdulkadir Bitigen officiating.
Al-Awwal Park, the home stadium of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr football club, can accommodate 25,000 spectators.

In their last 10 encounters, Galatasaray has secured four wins compared to Fenerbahce's two, with four matches ending in draws. Galatasaray also boasts a higher goal count, scoring 12 goals to Fenerbahce's six.
The most recent Super Lig match between the two teams resulted in a goalless draw on Sunday.

For Fenerbahce, Edin Dzeko has been a significant force, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists.
