Antalyaspor vs Galatasaray preview, prediction, team news and head-to-head

The match is very important for the visitors, who are fighting to maintain their narrow lead at the top of the table, while the host are looking for a way to avoid dropping to the relegation zone.

Antalyaspor enters this match struggling for results, having managed just one win in their last five league games, including a recent 0-0 draw away to Alanyaspor. 

Coach Erol Bulut’s side sits 13th in the table and has been very poor, with only one win from their last five games. 

Galatasaray, meanwhile, have also had an inconsistent run in their last five games, having claimed only two wins, two losses and one draw.

Their last two results were less convincing, featuring a narrow 3-2 home victory over Samsunspor and a disappointing 1-0 loss to Monaco in the Champions League.

Galatasaray holds a dominant advantage in this fixture, particularly in recent competitive meetings, where they have a perfect five-match winning streak. 

The home team have not had a sniff of a victory in those five games, with their recent meeting ending in a 4-0 thrashing at the Lions’ home and another 3-0 defeat at the Corendon Stadium.

Antalyaspor will be without several players due to injury. Erdogan Yesilyurt remains sidelined, reducing their depth on the flanks. 

Georgiy Dzhikiya is also unavailable, removing an experienced defensive option from the back line. Hasan Yakub Ilcin continues his recovery and will miss out, while Julian is likewise ruled out through injury.

Galatasaray are also managing a number of fitness concerns. Kaan Ayhan is unavailable, weakening their defensive versatility and ability to adapt tactically during matches. 

Wilfried Singo remains sidelined as well, while Mario Lemina is out with an injury that leaves Galatasaray short of a key midfield presence
