Galatasaray
The "Lions" have concluded their European campaign recently, exiting the Europa League after a tough battle against Sparta Prague. Now, all efforts will be focused on domestic affairs, where there's a real chance to achieve a domestic double. Galatasaray leads the championship, holding a mere two-point lead over Fenerbahce in second place, with no other contenders in sight for the title. In the last round, the team convincingly defeated Antalyaspor 2-1 at home, marking their eighth consecutive victory in the Turkish Super Lig.
Karagumruk
The season has been challenging for Karagumruk, currently occupying the 14th position in the league, with just a one-point cushion above the relegation zone. In the last round, the team could only manage a 1-1 draw at home against Alanyaspor, with the opponent equalizing in the 90+3 minute, although the hosts played with ten men for almost one and a half halves. The club is currently on a decent streak of three matches without defeat, accumulating 5 points during this period.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
The opponents have already met once this season, with Galatasaray securing a 1-0 home victory. Karagumruk has struggled significantly away from home, with 9 defeats in 13 away matches in the league, only managing one victory and three draws. Galatasaray is ruthless on their home turf, boasting 14 wins in 14 home matches in the Turkish Super Lig.
Galatasaray vs Karagumruk Prediction
It's quite evident that the hosts are considered favorites, being in better form, superior in class, and playing at home. While Karagumruk has a small unbeaten streak, facing the formidable giants and league leaders away from home presents an incredibly tough challenge. A reliable bet here appears to be Galatasaray's victory with a -1 goal handicap.
