Team News: Göztepe
İsmail Köybaşı (Rib fracture), Doğan Erdoğan (Torn thigh muscle), Juan (Hamstring injury), Isaac Solet (Cruciate ligament tear) and Djalma Silva (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for Göztepe boss Stanimir Stoilov.
In all likelihood, Göz Göz look set to go for a 3-4-1-2 formation for this game and select Arda Özçimen, Malcom Bokele Mputu, Koray Günter, Héliton, Ogün Bayrak, Ahmed Ildiz, Anthony Dennis, Lasse Nielsen, David Tijanic, Kubilay Kanatsizkus and Rômulo Cardoso.
ℹ️
Team News: Galatasaray
Due to a mostly healthy group, there is only the one fitness problem for the Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk to be concerned with. Mauro Icardi (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.
We reckon that Cimbom appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Günay Güvenc, Roland Sallai, Davinson Sánchez, Abdlkerim Bardakci, Evren Eren Elmali, Lucas Torreira, Mario Lemina, Yunus Akgün, Álvaro Morata, Baris Yilmaz and Victor Osimhen.
🧠
Prediction
Our pre-match assessment is that Galatasaray should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
However, Göztepe could well struggle to find the back of the net, although we do see them pulling one back during this clash.
We’re predicting a 1-3 winning score for Galatasaray come full-time.
