İsmail Köybaşı (unknown injury) and Furkan Bayır (unknown injury) aren’t available for Göztepe manager Stanimir Stoilov. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Malcom Bokele, Furkan Malak and Erkam Kömür.

It seems likely that Göz Göz could employ a 3-4-1-2 system in the match, utilising Mateusz Lis, Taha Altikardes, Héliton, Allan Godói, Arda Kurtulan, Anthony Dennis, Novatus Miroshi, Amin Cherni, Alexis Antunes, Janderson and J. Marinho dos.

🗞️ Team News: Galatasaray

Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has a number of players out of action. Enes Emre Büyük (Shoulder injury) and Victor Osimhen (Forearm fracture) are those who can’t be considered. Abdülkerim Bardakcı is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We reckon that Cimbom might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Ugurcan Cakir, Sacha Boey, Wilfried Singo, Davinson Sánchez, Evren Eren Elmali, Lucas Torreira, Mario Lemina, Baris Yilmaz, Ilkay Gündogan, Leroy Sane and Yunus Akgün.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Göztepe have it in them to score against this Galatasaray team, but one goal isn’t likely to prevent defeat.

We can see a narrow 1-2 winning margin for Galatasaray at full-time. Looking forward to this.
