ℹ️ Team News: Galatasaray

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk to be concerned with due to a largely intact squad. Mauro Icardi (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

In all likelihood, Cimbom look set to use a 4-2-3-1 formation this time featuring N. Fernando Muslera, Kaan Ayhan, Davinson Sánchez, Abdlkerim Bardakci, Evren Eren Elmali, Lucas Torreira, Mario Lemina, Yunus Akgün, Gabriel Sara, Baris Yilmaz and Victor Osimhen.

📋 Team News: Sivasspor

Sivasspor manager Riza Çalımbay has some current player fitness concerns. Uğur Çiftçi (unknown injury), Alaaddin Okumuş (unknown injury), Jan Bieganski (Hip injury), Charilaos Charisis (Ill) and Djordje Nikolic (Meniscus tear) will miss out on this game.

From our viewpoint, Yiğidolar will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Ali Vural Sasal, Murat Paluli, Uros Radakovic, Samba Camara, Ugur Ciftci, Samuel Moutoussamy, Charis Charisis, Bekir Turaç Böke, Efkan Bekiroglu, G. Mendes Rodrigues and Rey Manaj.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Sivasspor will likely be able to break down this Galatasaray outfit, but it possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re going for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Galatasaray at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s just see how this one goes.
