Team News

Sivasspor
Galatasaray
  • Burak Kapacak has gotten influenza but Emrah Bassan is fit again, so the latter will start on the right wing.
  • Fode Koita will lead the attack as Rey Manaj is suspended.
  • Clinton N'Jie (Cameroon) and Ahmed Musa (Nigeria) have travelled to AFCON 2023. Modou Barrow is set to start in their absence.
  • Yunus Konak is set to sign for Brentford in the coming days. He is not expected to feature here and Hakan Arslan will start in his place.
  • Kerem Demirbay will continue to start in midfield as Sergio Oliveira is injured.
  • Kazimcan Karatas and Halil Dervisoglu are set to deputise for the suspended Baris Alper Yilmaz and injured Mauro Icardi respectively.
  • Hakim Ziyech (Morocco) and Cedric Bakambu (DR Congo) are away at the AFCON 2023. The latter isn't a regular starter and Wilfred Zaha is set to deputise for the former.
  • Davinson Sanchez was rumoured to be injured but he told the reporters that he was fit and waiting to return to the squad. Neither the club nor Okan Buruk have made any explanations regarding his situation so we can assume Victor Nelsson will continue to start at the back.
  • Sacha Boey and Lucas Torreira have served their suspensions and will return to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Sivasspor beat Kayserispor 3-1 last time out. Although they needed two late, late goals to win this was an incredibly important away victory for them.
  • Following Cetin's dismissal for unknown reasons, Uygun returned to the club after 15 years.
  • They conceded quite a few chances at Kayseri last time out and benefited from their host's profligacy. Gala will not be as wasteful.
  • Galatasaray got a 3-0 win over Konyaspor last time out. The game was still 1-0 in the dying minutes but that was not a reflection of the performances on the pitch. The Lions should have won this more comfortably and with a much bigger margin.
  • Icardi's absence will hurt them as he is by far the most talented and composed finisher in this squad. But, Buruk has enough high-quality players at his disposal to lead his team to a victory here, albeit a narrow one.
