Team News

Galatasaray
Konyaspor
  • Kerem Demirbay and Tanguy Ndombele are likely to start in midfield as Sergio Oliveira is injured and Lucas Torreira suspended.
  • Sacha Boey is also suspended meaning Kaan Ayhan will feature as a make-shift right-back.
  • 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.
  • Muhammet Demir has undergone cruciate ligament surgery and will not be available until 2024.
  • Gokhan Tore is also injured but he wasn't expected to start here anyway.
  • Bruno Paz, another non-starter, has travelled to AFCON 2023 with Angola.

Prediction

  • Galatasaray shared points with their arch-rival Fenerbahce in a goalless draw last time out.
  • Contrary to expectations, neither team could create clear chances and the draw was a fair result.
  • There have been rumours that the club is struggling with its high wage bill and is looking to offload one of Ziyech or Zaha so these coming weeks will be a great opportunity for the latter to prove his worth.
  • At home, the Lions should get all three points.
  • Konyaspor beat Kayserispor 2-0 last time out. This was an important win before the break and raised both the team's and Keles's morale.
  • Quite a few important names in Galatasaray's defence and midfield will not be available here so Konyaspor will doubtlessly create chances and are very likely to get on the scoresheet even if they end up leaving empty-handed.
