Team News

Galatasaray
Sivasspor
  • Nicolo Zaniolo, who wasn't expected to start here, is suspended.
  • Sacha Boey has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.
  • Jordy Caicedo is set to lead the attack as Mustapha Yatabare is suspended.
  • Dimitrios Goutas, Fredrik Ulvestad, and Erdogan Yesilyurt are also suspended. Aaron Appindangoye, Isaac Cofie, and Clinton N'Jie are expected to deputise respectively.
  • Murat Paluli wasn't involved in the squad that faced Kasimpasa last time out due to an injury. He will be monitored and if deemed unfit, Alaaddin Okumus will start at right back.
  • Ziya Erdal, who wasn't going to start here, is sidelined with an injury.

Prediction

  • Galatasaray overcame yet another hurdle on the road to the Championship, beating Istanbulspor 2-0 last time. They were in control of the game from the get-go and didn't allow Istanbsulspor, who have caused quite a few upsets so far this season, any chance to get back in. At home, in front of their raucous fans who have been amazing this season, and against a Sivasspor side crippled with suspensions, the Lions are absolute favorites.
  • Sivasspor suffered a shocking 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Kasimpasa last time out. Calimbay's team did create quite a few chances but were wasteful in front of goal, which has been the story of their season so far. Calimbay and his players also seem to be suffering from a lack of focus, as the club's ultimate aim this season is to win the Turkish Cup. We can expect to see a very subdued performance from Sivasspor here.
