Galatasaray will be looking to take one step closer to the Turkish Super Lig title when they play host to Sivasspor at Rams Park on Sunday.
Bulent Uygun’s men have enjoyed a fine run of results in the season’s run-in and will be looking to put a dent in the hosts’ title charge.
Galatasaray turned in another performance of the highest quality as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Adana Demirspor at the New Adana Stadium last Friday.
Okan Buruk’s men have now won eight games on the bounce across all competitions, a run which saw them clinch the Super Cup title courtesy of a controversial 1-0 victory over Fenerbahce.
With 93 points from 34 matches, Galatasaray currently sit at the top of the Super Lig table, four points above second-placed Fenerbahce with just four games to go.
Like the hosts, Sivasspor continued their fine late-season form last time out when they secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Konyaspor on home turf.
Uygun’s men have now won all but one of their last four matches across all competitions, with an impressive 2-2 draw against Fenerbahce on April 22 being the exception.
With 48 points from 34 matches, Sivasspor are currently ninth in the league standings but could move into sixth place with all three points this weekend.
