Gala saw their Europa League dream perish right before their eyes as they succumbed to a 4-1 away defeat at the hands of Sparta Prague in the second leg of the playoffs. However, not all is lost when it comes to adding a trophy to their collection this season, as they still have the Turkish Cup and league titles to contend for. 

In their most recent round in the league, they clinched a comfortable 3-0 away win against Ankaragucu courtesy of first-half goals from Kerem Demirbay, Davinson Sánchez, and Mauro Icardi. In light of this result, Gala extended their winning streak to seven matches in the league and will be hoping to add to that tally with another convincing win against a side they currently maintain a three-match winning streak over.

With 69 points accumulated in 26 matches played, Galatasaray sits second in the Turkish Super Lig standings, one point behind first-placed Fenerbahce.

While Antalyaspor are not in contention for the league title this season due to a massive 35-point deficit, they are worth a mid-table finish, a feat they've achieved once in the past three years.

In their most recent round in the league, they failed to get the better of relegation candidates Istanbulspor at home as they coughed up a two-goal advantage to be held to a nail-biting 2-2 draw. In light of this result, their winless run in the league was extended to four matches (L2 D2). Having picked up a solitary win in their last seven league matches, it goes without saying their form has been cause for concern, and little can be expected from them in this one against a side that has dominated them in past meetings.

With 35 points accumulated in 26 matches played, Antalyaspor sits in eighth place in the Turkish Super Lig standings, level on points with ninth-placed Kayserispor and four points behind fifth-placed Kasimpasa. 

Formation: 4-2-3-1

• Galatasaray are currently on a fourteen-match unbeaten run in the Super Lig.
• Antalyaspor have won one of their last six away matches in the Super Lig.
• Galatasaray averages 2.46 goals per game when playing at home, and Antalyaspor averages 1.33 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 52 meetings, Galatasaray have won 29 times, Antalyaspor have won 7 times, and there have been 16 draws, with the goal difference being 94-48 in favor of Galatasaray. 

Galatasaray have been a force to be reckoned with when playing at home, compared to their struggles on the road. Gala are currently on a thirteen-match winning streak at RAMS Park and could extend that streak with a convincing win in this one.

Therefore, we expect the home side to secure maximum points by backing them up in the full-time market, combined with a total of under 4.5 goals, which should surface.
