Alanyaspor were unlucky not to come away with a positive result in their recent road match against Antalyaspor, falling to a 3:1 defeat despite Ahmed Mahgoub injecting hope for his side after giving them the lead in the first 21st minute.

While they were on their way to their third unbeaten run, it's safe to say that effort backfired on them, and with that setback, they have now lost three consecutive away games against Antalyaspor.

In addition to their porous defense, which has allowed 18 goals in their last 9 games, there is no denying that consistency has also been a problem during that time. They have only won two games while recording a draw and six losses to amass 7 points, and their chances of gaining anything from this game against a resurgent Galatasaray are all but slim. 

They are ranked 11th in the standings with 32 points, tied on points with Antalyaspor (10th) and Kasimpasa (12th). Although they are only five points ahead of the drop zone, collecting all three points in this clash will put them at ease and propel them to a tenth-place finish.

Just when everyone thought Gala had put a stop to their attacking prowess in the Super Lig, they scored six unanswered goals at home in their recent match against 10-men Kayserispor, which was unexpected, but their triumph in that match was one to be expected as they were favorites from the moment they set foot in their own territory.

Though the visitors were worth betting on to break through Gala's frail defense, a red card issued to their defender Majid Hosseini in additional time before halftime hampered their hopes, opening a wormhole that would see their defense concede at an alarming rate. But it's true that Gala's Mauro Icardi stole the show with a hat trick and an assist—a fantastic display in performance from the Argentinian.

With the Turkish Cup out of the question after being knocked out in the quarter-finals by Istanbul Basaksehir, it's becoming clearer where Okan Buruk's objectives lie this season as he leads his team to their 22nd league title after a three-year struggle. There is little reason to doubt that they are viable competitors to be crowned champions this season, as evidenced by 21 wins in their last 27 games while recording 3 draws and 3 losses.

While Fenerbahce has been as obstinate as a mule in their persistent pursuit to unseat them from the top spot, Gala has managed to contain them as they are 6 points clear of them as they currently hold the top spot with 66 points. 

Formation: 4-5-1

Galatasaray are back in action, and what a way to make a statement in their recent match against Kayserispor after losing to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkey Cup quarterfinals. And they come into this match as heavy favorites to derail their opponents' chances of finishing in the top half.

Galatasaray have demonstrated that they are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to being potent with their attacking skills, and there is no reason to doubt that this will be another goal-filled encounter, with Gala coming out on top as usual.
