Galatasaray will host Konyaspor at the Rams Park Stadyumu on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Super Lig campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a strong league campaign and remain hopeful of successfully defending their Super Lig title. They played out a goalless draw against rivals Fenerbahce in their last league outing in an uncharacteristically dull display between the two sides in which they managed a combined one shot on target throughout the match.
Galatasaray sit second in the league table with 44 points from 17 games. They are level on points with Fenerbahce at the top of the pile and could leapfrog them with maximum points on Sunday.
Konyaspor, meanwhile, have endured a highly disappointing league campaign so far and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone as the midpoint of the season approaches. They returned to winning ways in the league last time out with a 2-0 victory over Kayserispor featuring two penalty strikes from Albania international Sokol Cikalleshi.
The visitors sit 16th in the league table with 18 points from 17 matches. They are just one point above Fatih Karagumruk in the first relegation spot and will be looking to widen that gap this weekend.
