Galatasaray have been conceding pretty frequently lately, although they’ve also managed to score goals themselves. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Galatasaray have seen their goal breached in 5 of them while also getting on the scoresheet in 6 of those matches. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

• haven't been beaten in the league by Alanyaspor in their last 5 games.
• are unbeaten in their last 4 home league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Galatasaray

Ali Yeşilyurt (unknown injury) and Victor Osimhen (Muscle strain) will be missing for Galatasaray gaffer Okan Buruk.

It looks as if Cimbom could make use of the 4-4-2 system for the game, utilising N. Fernando Muslera, Elias Jelert, Victor Nelsson, Abdlkerim Bardakci, Ismail Jakobs, Baris Yilmaz, Kerem Demirbay, Gabriel Sara, Yunus Akgün, Dries Mertens and Mauro Icardi.

📋 Team News: Alanyaspor

In an otherwise available squad, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Alanyaspor manager Fatih Tekke to contend with. Furkan Bayır (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Alanyaspor appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation using Ertugrul Taskiran, Florent Hadergjonaj, Nuno Lima, Fidan Aliti, Jure Balkovec, Richard Coelho, Gaius Makouta, Loide Augusto, Nicolas Janvier, Yusuf Özdemir and Ui-Jo Hwang.

⚡ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Galatasaray will most probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the other end, Alanyaspor won’t find it easy to get a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up getting enough chances to score, too.

Accordingly, we see a 3-1 margin for Galatasaray when all’s said and done.
