Galatasaray will host Adana Demirspor in the penultimate round of Turkish SuperLig fixtures on Monday.
It has been a disappointing season for Galatasaray, who sit well outside the top 10 in the division and have endured their worst campaign in decades. While the other two Istanbul heavyweights have also suffered below-par seasons, Galatasaray have been the most underwhelming.
They come into this game on the back of a goalless draw against Istanbul Baseksehir.
The visitors sit comfy in ninth in the table and can possibly finish inside the top 10 for the first time in three years.
Galatasaray vs Adana Demirspor Head-To-Head
Galatasaray hold the edge in the fixture, having won four out of their last six outings against the visitors. Demirspor's last victory in this tie came back in 2019 when they managed to upset Galatasaray in a 1-0 win.
The recent record puts Galatasaray slightly ahead of their opponents, who have lost all of their last four outings in the division.
