Team News

Galatasaray
Istanbulspor
  • Kerem Demirbay will start in midfield as Sergio Oliveira is injured.
  • Davinson Sanchez is set to deputise for the suspended Abdulkerim Bardakci.
  • Hakim Ziyech and Cedric Bakambu are away at AFCON 2023. Neither are regular starters, however.
  • Manager Osman Korkmaz has a full squad available to pick from.

Prediction

  • Galatasaray destroyed Trabzonspor 5-1 last time out. Buruk had Zaha lead the attack and the ex-Palace player mesmerised Trabzonspor's defence and managed to score a brace. The Lions are now level on points with Fenerbahce and have their talisman Icardi back to full fitness. This is going to be a very one-sided affair.
  • Istanbulspor beat Kayserispor 1-0 with a late, late goal last time out. This is a very impressive result and that they managed to outplay their hosts is a good sign for the new manager Korkmaz. However, Kayserispor form or quality do not come near Galatasaray's and a very different 90 minutes await Istanbulspor here.
