Among the football events on Monday, we've chosen to focus on the encounter between Galatasaray and Antalyaspor, as they clash in the Turkish championship. Read the match prediction on our website.
Galatasaray
The Turkish giant contends for the championship, currently placed second in the league standings but trailing the top spot by a solitary point, with a game in hand. In other words, a victory in this encounter would reclaim the leadership. This week, Galatasaray exited European competitions, succumbing 1-4 to Sparta Prague away, yet securing a 3-2 victory at home. Now, all thoughts and efforts will be directed towards the domestic league, where there is only one direct competitor – Fenerbahçe. In the last round, the "Lions" triumphed away against Ankaragücü with a score of 3-0, marking their third consecutive victory in the Super Lig.
Antalyaspor
After 26 rounds, Antalyaspor occupies the eighth position in the championship, trailing the fifth place by 4 points, making it challenging to ascend further. In the last round, the team failed to overcome Istanbulspor at home, despite leading 2-0 by the 16th minute, ultimately settling for a 2-2 draw. A noticeable decline in results is evident, as the team has failed to win in four successive matches, only managing to collect two points during this period.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
In the first round, Galatasaray managed to secure an away victory with a scoreline of 2-0. Antalyaspor has been unable to defeat their opponent in direct meetings for 8 years. Galatasaray has won all 13 home matches in the championship this season; the team is unstoppable on their turf.
Galatasaray vs Antalyaspor Prediction
It's not difficult to guess the favorite in this pair – the title contender and formidable giant hosting the unstable mid-table team. Galatasaray, of course, may be slightly hindered by the midweek fixture, but dropping points in such a crucial match is not an option. Expecting the hosts' dominance, we'll take the risk to bet on their victory with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
