Galatasaray Basaksehir match preview

In Turkey this weekend we will have a direct fight for the title, given that six rounds before the end, the second-ranked Galatasaray has only two points for leading Basaksehir. However, the current champion Besiktas is still in the game for the first place, because they have only three points less than Basakhsir, which celebrated in the fall part of the championship at home with 5-1 over Galatasaray.

Galatasaray

But this should now only be an additional motive for the host of this Istanbul derby, especially since they have experienced four consecutive defeats in duels with Basakshahir. In addition, with their victory in this match, their revenge would be even sweeter, because they would thus take over the leading position from Basakhsarah, which is currently only two points away, and that was after Galata was completely unexpectedly defeated in the last round with 1-0 as a guest by Genclerbirligi.

Namely, prior to this, coach Terim’s players have made four wins in the championship and one draw in the championship, and that draw was played against their biggest rival Fenerbahce while they in the first semi-final match of the Turkish Cup celebrated with 2- 1 over Akhisar. That is why it is unclear what happened to Galata on that last-weeks game against Genclerbirligi, especially since Terim has not had any problems with absences for two weeks.

Probable lineups Galatasaray: Muslera – Mariano, Maicon, Aziz, Nagatomo – Fernando, Inan – Feghouli, Belhanda, Rodrigues – Gomis

Istanbul Basaksehir

Unlike their next rivals, the team of Basaksehir has made three victories in the championship and thus returned to the leading position in Superliga, where they spent most of the season. But in this spring they had several unexpected blunders, such as a defeat by Alanyaspor and home draws with Konyaspor and Genclerbirligi, while they were defeated with 2-0 by Fenerbahce.

On the other hand, three rounds ago in Istanbul, they have once again managed to defeat the current champion Besiktas in their field, while they did the same as guests against Akhisar and at home with Malatyaspor, which is why they before this big defeat with the second-ranked Galata have two points more than them. As for Basakhseir's composition for this Sunday's derby, coach Avci cannot count on the injured Mossor and striker Napoleon.

Probable lineups Istanbul Basaksehir: Babacan – Caicara, Attamah, Epureanu, Clichy – Emre, Tekdemir – Višća, Turan, Elia – Adebayor

Verdict:

Of course Galatasaray will do everything to return to the leading position in Superliga with a victory, but on the other hand, the team of Basaksehir is not without any reason at the leading position on the table and they will try with their recognizable game in defence to come to at least one point.
