Galatasaray will host Konyaspor at the Rams Park Stadyumu on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The home side have had disappointing results in recent games but remain firmly in the driving seat in the title race as they target a 25th Super Lig title.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Hatayspor last time out in the league and fully deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing. They turned their attention to continental action on Tuesday, playing out a 3-3 draw against Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League as they once again spurned multiple chances to clinch maximum points.
Konyaspor, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league this season and are still searching for their first win of the year. They played out a 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa in their last match and looked set to be headed toward all three points following Mehmet Nayir's go-ahead strike in the 82nd minute before their opponents leveled things up for a third and final time minutes later.
The visitors, who sit 13th in the table with 21 points, are five points above the drop zone and will be looking to widen that gap when they face the league leaders on Saturday.

Galatasaray vs Konyaspor Prediction
Galatasaray are on a remarkable 25-game unbeaten streak, although three of their last four matches have ended in draws. They are one of just two teams in the Turkish top flight this season yet to taste defeat on home turf and will fancy their chances of a win here.
Konyaspor are winless in their last five league matches and have won just one of their last eight games in the competition. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams coupled with their contrasting form could see the visitors suffer defeat here.
Prediction: Galatasaray 3-1 Konyaspor
