Prediction

  • Besiktas were 2-0 winners against Istanbulspor last time out. Then they advanced to the semis in the Turkish Cup beating Konyaspor 2-0. Their defending has improved a lot since the hiring of Santos and new arrivals Muci and Musrati have added strength to the midfield. They have been extremely successful against Galatasaray at home in recent seasons. Here, as has been the case in every game under Santos, they'll start the game very cautiously and increase the tempo in the second half.
  • Galatasaray beat Antalyaspor 2-1 last time out. Their performance was way below the standards they've set so far in the season. Then they suffered a shocking 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Karagumruk in the midweek cup tie. Buruk went to rotation for that game but that doesn't change the fact that the Lions' form has dropped considerably in recent weeks.
  • Both teams will create chances here. Although Gala have the better squad, Besiktas will have their raucous fans behind them. Home advantage makes the Black Eagles slight favourites.
