Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Fatih Karagumruk

Fatih Karagumruk is coming into the game on the back of a 4-0 defeat at home to Trabzonspor in the second leg of the Turkish Cup. With a 7-2 aggregate loss, Karagumruk saw their run in this competition come to an end, though their determination to reach their first ever semi-final in club history will forever be remembered by their fans.

Before that, second-half efforts from Sofiane Feghouli and Marcao were sufficient to see them earn a point in their match against Kayserispor, playing out a 2-2 draw away from home. Despite a point being earned, Karagumruk still finds themselves fighting for survival in the top flight, as they are two places ahead of the drop zone. They have picked up two wins in their last ten matches (L4, D4).

With 37 points accumulated from 35 matches, Fatih Karagumruk occupies the 15th spot in the Turkish Super Lig standings, level on points with 16th-placed Konyaspor and two points ahead of the relegation zone. 

Galatasaray

Galatasaray had no trouble sailing to a commanding 6-1 victory over mid-table Sivasspor at the RAMS Park, extending their winning run in the league to 16 matches. A trifecta of consecutive braces witnessed Hakim Ziyech, Dries Mertens, and Mauro Icardi get on the scoreboard for the Lions.

A change of scenery sees Okan Buruk's side take to the road this time around, though that shouldn't hinder their prospects of picking up maximum points as they are currently on a seven-match winning streak. Most importantly, they boast a record of 13 wins in their last 17 away matches (D3, L1).

With 96 points accumulated from 35 matches, Galatasaray holds the top spot in the Turkish Super Lig standings and has maintained a six-point cushion over second-placed arch-rivals Fenerbahce. 

Expert Betting Tips

Galatasaray come into this match in consistent form in the league and have been unstoppable thus far. They have won 16 matches in a row in the Super Lig and will likely use this as a springboard to halt a two-match unbeaten run in this fixture.

Despite being on the road, Galatasaray are still a superior side by a mile, and we don't envision them succumbing to defeat against a side they've not lost to in two matches, recording one win and one draw. Therefore, support them in the full-time market combined with the total under 4.5 goals.

• W2 & TU 4.5 for 1.98
• Both Teams To Score - No for 2.19
• Anytime Goalscorer - Mauro Icardi for 1.80
