Galatasaray will host Trabzonspor at the Rams Park Stadyumu on Monday night in another round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts will be confident to continue their remarkable unbeaten run and increase their points gap at the top of the table.
Galatasaray fought for an impressive 3-2 win over Sivasspor last weekend despite being down to 10 men by the 15th minute of the game. The defending champions have been outstanding all season, dropping points only twice in the league and maintaining an unbeaten form in the Europa League.
Trabzonspor have heavily underperformed this season as they currently sit in 14th place after finishing third last season. The visitors have only picked up three wins all season and are on a poor run of form with four losses in their last six matches.
They drew 2-2 against Kasimpasa last time out and will be keen to turn their season around, although they are unlikely to begin such against the league leaders on Monday.

- The visitors are without a clean sheet in their last three games in this fixture and have managed just one in their last 11.

Galatasaray vs Trabzonspor Prediction
Galatasaray are on an outstanding 18-game unbeaten streak stretching back to late August. The hosts should get a comfortable victory due to the sheer gulf in quality and form of the two sides.
Trabzonspor will have to be at their best if they are to pick up a point against the league leaders. Their abysmal winless away form could, however, prove costly as they travel to face the champions.
Prediction: Galatasaray 3-1 Trabzonspor
