Adana Demirspor

In the previous season, Adana Demirspor finished in 12th place, four points ahead of the relegation zone. Despite aspirations to improve this season, it's safe to say things have not gone according to plan, as they have kicked off the campaign on a dreadful note.

The Blue Lightnings have failed to win their first three matches (L2, D1). They opened their account with a 1-0 defeat to last season's runners-up, Fenerbahce, followed by a narrow 2-1 home defeat against Rizespor. However, they did manage to stop that rot by securing a point in their most recent match against Kasimpasa away from home. 

With one point on board from 3 matches, Adana Demirspor occupies 18th place within the relegation zone in the Turkish Super Lig standings level on points with 16th-placed and 17th-placed Trabzonspor and Hatayspor, respectively. They are one adrift of safety and will be hoping to secure a favorable outcome.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Donmezer; Manev, Guler, Gravillon, Burak; Balat, Maestro; Aymbetov, Sari, Alioui; Barasi

Galatasaray

Galatasaray welcomed Young Boys to the RAMS Park in the second leg tie of the Champions League playoffs on Tuesday. The Swiss side crushed their hopes of making it to the group stages as they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to achieve a 4-2 aggregate loss.

In the league, they have maintained a 100% record, winning their last two matches. Their most recent match was against Konyaspor, and they managed to walk away with all three points in a 2-1 victory at the Torku Arena.

With 6 points accumulated from 2 matches, Galatasaray occupies 4th place in the Turkish Super Lig standings. They are level on points with third-placed Besiktas and one point adrift of first-placed Fenerbahce.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Muslera; Jelert, Nelsson, Ayhan, Kohn; Torreira, Sara; Yilmaz, Mertens, Akturkoglu; Icardi

Adana Demirspor find themselves in a tight spot to record their first win of the season as they square off against Galatasaray, a side they've failed to defeat in their last five encounters, recording four losses and one draw. At home, they have lost four consecutive matches and could likely struggle here.

Galatasaray has floundered in recent weeks, but despite that, they are still considered favourites to walk away with all three points. Although they were dumped out of the Champions League on Tuesday, we anticipate them to secure a comfortable win here by picking them up in the full-time market combined with the total under 5.5 goals.
