Istanbul Basaksehir vs Galatasaray Prediction

Istanbul are unbeaten in eight home games across competitions, winning three. They have failed to score in three of their last four Super Lig home meetings against Galatasaray.

Ousseynou Ba, Miguel Crespo and Berat Ozdemir are suspended and will miss out. Leo Duarte, Patryk Szysz and Serdar Gurler are nursing injuries and will sit this one out.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, head into the match in great form, scoring at least twice in seven games. They are on a 16-game winning streak in away games in the Super Lig.

Gabriel Sara was absent from training due to a knock picked up in the cup match this week and is a doubt. Mauro Icardi is a confirmed absentee with a ligament injury.

Cimbom have been the dominant side in recent games in the fixture and considering their better goalscoring form, they should record a narrow win.

Prediction: Istanbul Basaksehir 1-2 Galatasaray
