ISTANBUL (AA) - Galatasaray set their eye on the first victory of this millennium in an away game against the archrival Fenerbahce as the Lions could not hunt the Yellow Canaries in their cage since 1999.

Sunday's Istanbul derby game will kick off at 7 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) at Fenerbahce's Ulker Stadium.

With hope to break the dry spell, Galatasaray seek an away win against Fenerbahce this weekend, as it was over two decades ago that Lions last gained a victory at Kadikoy with 2-1.

Since then, Fenerbahce have dominated on their home ground, winning 15 derby matches against Galatasaray. Eight games between the Istanbul clubs ended with draw.

The visiting team Galatasaray were unable to taste victory in 23 matches at Ulker Stadium, including 20 Turkish Super Lig games, since December 1999.

Fenerbahce were also relentless when they faced Galatasaray at home, scoring 44 goals in 23 matches while only conceding 15.

Galatasaray earned their sixth consecutive win in the league and boosted their morale before the derby while rivals Fenerbahce lost 8 points in last three games in the league.
