Team News

Galatasaray
Rizespor
  • Davinson Sanchez will start as Abdulkerim Bardakci is injured.
  • Wilfred Zaha and Hakim Ziyech are also reported to be nursing minor injuries but neither were expected to start anyways.
  • Serge Aurier is training with the rest of the squad but according to Okan Buruk needs at least one more week to be match-fit.
  • Janne-Pekka Laine and Benhur Keser, neither of whom were expected to start here, are Ilhan Palut's only injury concerns.

Prediction

  • Galatasaray beat Besiktas 1-0 last time out. They went up with an own goal in the second minute of the game and their hosts were so abysmal going forward that Buruk's team did not even have to go to second gear for the rest of the match. This was a massive step in their quest for the title and with their morale reaching the sky, the Lions will attack this game from the get go.
  • Rizespor recorded an impressive 3-0 win against Kayserispor last time out. The first half was tight and neither team managed to convert the chances they created. Palut's team showed clinical skills in the second half and put a stop to their five-game winless streak. They will play aggressively and defend very deep to frustrate Gala's creative names.

  • Icardi -150 / Kerem Aktur +140 To Score Anytime

  • Icardi starts but Zaha on the bench.

  • @Marbella Zaha is always on the bench, like even after he scored that brace and looked sharp he was benched immediately after lol. Wonder why.

  • @KingKeno He is on a huge goals bonus :)

  • Sanches(df) Abdulkerim(df) both strong defend players are not playing tonight.. draw and red card is possible

  • Gala 3-0
