Team News

Galatasaray
Fatih Karagumruk
  • Tanguy Ndombele will start as Sergio Oliveira is injured.
  • Gunay Guvenc will deputise for the suspended Fernando Muslera in goal.
  • As Federico Ceccherini is suspended, Davide Biraschi is expected to start at centre-back and Nazim Sangare at right-back.
  • Marcus Rohden and Serdar Dursun are likely to deputise for the suspended Otabek Shukurov and Guven Yalcin respectively.
  • Ibrahim Dresevic has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Galatasaray brushed aside Adana Demirspor 3-1 last time out. Then, they were beaten 1-0 by Copenhagen in the Champions League, meaning they will continue their European adventure in the Europa League, which might be a blessing in disguise. Although Muslera's absence always worries Gala fans, the Lions should cruise to a yet another home victory here.
  • Karagumruk were beaten 2-1 by Antalyaspor last time out. Despite creating a plethora of chances against their hosts who played the second half with 10 men, Karagumruk left the game empty handed. Following this latest defeat, Erdem was sacked and Shota Arveladze brought in. The Georgian is known to favour a three-men defence but Karagumruk's squad might not be suitable for that. Ex-Hull City manager could not have asked for a worse opponent for his first game in charge.
