Galatasaray

Form: WWWWW

Gala has been on top form this season, exceeding all expectations of impressive, and Okan Buruk's men are without a doubt the heavy favorites to win the championship this season in stylish fashion after denying themselves the silverware for three straight season's.

In their most recent away game against Gaziantep, they gave nothing less than an immaculate performance, cruising to a 3:0 victory. This comes after their club friendlies against Istanbulspor, where they showed off their dominance to win 6:0.

Gala have been an unstoppable force in the Super Lig, as evidenced by their 13-game winning streak, during which they scored 38 goals while conceding 8, and no other team has had the temerity to challenge them thus far as they continue to be an irrepressible rogue that has kept their eye on the ball.

Nothing appears to have changed in the standings, with Gala still holding the ropes tight at the summit with 57 points, extending the point gap with each victory, and this sees them with an 6 point advantage over a resilient Fenerbahce, who sit in second place.

Team News

Galatasaray have no injury concerns going into this match, and Okan Buruk should have a healthy squad to choose from.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Kocuk; Boey, Bardakci, Nelsson, Karatas; Torreira, Oliveira; Rashica, Zaniolo, Akturkoglu; Icardi

Kasimpasa

Form: WLWLL

The visitors had the last laugh in their recent home match against Antalyaspor, winning 3:1 after losing 1:0 on the road to Hatayspor, and they'll be looking to build on their momentum to record their second consecutive victory.

With a four-game losing streak when playing away, as well as the fact that they have not won in their last six road games, it goes without saying that inconsistency has flooded their camps. Their shaky defense, which has seen them keep only one clean sheet while giving up 11 goals, has also contributed to their inability to grasp wins.

The Apaches have only managed three wins from eight matches since the start of 2023, while also recording four losses and a draw, demonstrating their inconsistent form, which they will need to improve if they are to avoid being dragged down to the drop zone.

With no ambitions for a mid-table finish this season, given that they've spent the previous four seasons languishing near the bottom, they currently sit in 13th place with 25 points and have a 3-point lead over the drop zone.

Team News

Kasimpasa come into this match with an injury-free squad, with the exception of regular absentee Sadik Ciftpinar. Mustafa Eskihellac will also be unavailable for selection.

Unfortunately for the Apaches, they will not be able to call on 30-year-old midfielder Valentin Eysseric, who was booked 45 minutes into stoppage time in a recent home match against Antalyaspor.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Canpolat; Silva, Donk, Djilobodji, Ouanes; Tirpan, Malsa, Hajradinovic; Fall, Koita, Chouiar

Expert Betting Tips

Galatasaray are riding a seven-game winning streak at home, and as such, they are expected to capitalize on their home advantage with another convincing victory, extending their winning streak at home to eight games against a side that has performed poorly on the road.

Kasimpasa's timing couldn't be worse right now; just as they appeared to be on their way to extending their winning streak to two games, they appear to be back at square one, knowing that snatching all three points from their opponent is an unrealistic expectation. 

The visitors are currently ranked third in the Super Lig, tied with Umraniyespor, due to their worst defensive record, which includes a goal concession tally of 42. Shipping more goals than they should appears to be the case in this match, but make no mistake about their ability to find the back of the net.

As such, backing Galatasaray to win combined with "both teams to score - yes" should be enough to surface, as both teams have found the back of the net in all six of their previous meetings, with Galatasaray coming out on top in four of those games, and such is to be expected here once again.
