Prediction

  • Kayserispor were beaten 2-0 by Antalyaspor last time out. They were outplayed from the first minute to the last and didn't deserve to get anything out of the game. Against a fully functioning attacking machine like Gala, Kaloglu will unashamedly park the bus. However, his defenders have struggled against skillful players so far this season meaning, this will be a very long 90 minutes for the home team.
  • Galatasaray were 4-3 winners against Trabzonspor last time out. Injuries to key defenders was the main reason why Buruk's team needed a stoppage time own goal to get all three points at home, against an underperforming Trabzon side. Buruk has everyone other than Icardi available and his team will attack this game from the get go.
