Team News

Denizlispor
Galatasaray
  • As Ozer Ozdemir, Oguz Yilmaz, and Ayman Ben Mohamed are all injured, manager Ali Tandogan is expected to use a three-men defence comprising Muhammet Ozkal, Sakib Aytac, and Fabiano.
  • Abdulkadir Sunger will deputise for the injured Cenk Gonen.
  • Ahmed Yasin and Kubilay Aktas, neither of whom were expected to start against Galatasaray, are also sidelined with injury.
  • Fatih Terim is without Falcao after he picked up a muscle injury, while Mostafa Mohamed is carrying a knock and will be assessed prior to kick off.
  • If Mohamed is unable to start, then Halil Dervisoglu will lead the attack.

Prediction

  • Denizlispor were beaten 1-0 by Hatayspor last time out. They've already been relegated and you could see Tandogan had difficulty motivating his players. In order to prevent rumors of favouritism or even match-fixing, they will work extra-hard against Galatasaray. But, there is too much quality gap between the two sides.
  • Galatasaray beat Besiktas 3-1 last time out. They are still in the title race and have the easiest run of fixtures among all contenders. The derby win raised the morale at the club and they will attack this game from the get go, to try to improve their goal difference in case they end up at level points with one of the other contenders in two weeks' time.
