Thanks to Besiktas' defeat against Gaziantep in their recent match, Kasimpasa still hangs on to the hope of securing a European football spot this season, as they now have to overcome a three-point deficit to see their dreams materialize. 

Having been ensconced in a three-match winless run in the league, which included a 2-1 away defeat to title-chasing Fenerbahce, Kasimpasa successfully put an end to that unfavorable sequence of results by eking out a hard-fought 2-1 away win over relegation hopefuls Istanbulspor. Now graced with the prospect of extending their winning streak in the league to two matches, they lock horns with a team that currently boasts a four-match winning streak against them.

With 43 points amassed in 29 matches played, Kasimpasa currently sit in fifth place in the Turkish Super Lig standings and are six points adrift of third-placed Trabzonspor, while they've only maintained a one-point advantage over sixth-placed Istanbul Basaksehir.

Galatasaray

It has been a closely contested duopoly for the league championship between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce this season in the top-flight. Gala's 1-0 win over Besiktas on the road about two weeks ago instilled hope that they might once again be front-runners to clinch the league title for the second consecutive time. However, all that will be decided two months from now, when they'll get to clash against Ismail Kartal's men in what will be a decider.

In their most recent match, the Lions of Istanbul dominated Rizespor at home, achieving a resounding 6-2 victory, extending their winning streak in the league to ten matches. Brimming with confidence, they enter this match searching for their fifth consecutive away win, an outcome that seems plausible given their dominance in this fixture. 

With 78 points amassed in 29 matches played, Galatasaray are currently perched at the pinnacle of the Turkish Super Lig standings and have maintained a two-point cushion over second-placed arch-rivals Fenerbahce.
