Team News

Ankaragucu
Galatasaray
  • Manager Emre Belozoglu has a full squad available to pick from.
  • Hakim Ziyech, who is not a regular starter, is nursing an ankle injury.
  • Serge Aurier is also rumoured to be carrying a minor knock. Kaan Ayhan is likely to start.
  • Manager Okan Buruk is likely to rest Dries Mertens, who played for 90 minutes against Sparta Prague on Thursday evening. Wilfried Zaha is likely to start.

Prediction

  • Ankaragucu were beaten 1-0 by Konyaspor last time out. They've gone three games without a win now and have looked particularly weak going forward in those outings. Against Galatasaray, Belozoglu will adopt a very conservative approach. Expect his team to defend deep and aggressively to frustrate the Lions' talented attacking lineup.
  • Galatasaray were 2-0 winners against Basaksehir last time out. Then, on Thursday evening, they managed to beat Sparta Prague 3-2 in the Europa League tie. There will be some tired legs in the Gala camp so expect a much lower tempo than usual.
  • We might see less chances from Galatasaray here but Buruk has quite a few players on the bench who can turn the game around if things do not go well. Expect an away win here, albeit a narrow one.
