Galatasaray

Form: WWWWW

Gala managed to get the job done in the third round of the Turkish Super Lig against Istanbulspor, as they won 1-0 on the road courtesy of a first-half strike from Mauro Icardi, though fans expected to see a dominant display.

Before that, they overcame struggling side Istanbul Basaksehir by winning 2-1 courtesy of goals from Hakimi Ziyech and Mauro Icardi.

Confidence has been high in the Gala camp due to a five-match winning streak in the league where three clean sheets were kept while conceding three goals, the same number as league leaders Fenerbahce. 

They currently occupy second place with 16 points, five points ahead of third-placed Adana Demirspor and fourth-placed Rizespor. Their aspirations for a first-place finish are hindered by a two-point deficit.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

F. Muslera; Angelino, A. Bardakci, V. Nelsson, S. Boey; L. Torreira, K. Demirbay; M. Akturkoglu, D. Mertens, Tete; M. Icardi 

Ankaragucu

Ankaragucu were once again on the receiving end of an unfavorable outcome against Konyaspor at home as they settled for a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw. That result meant that they are without a win in three home matches of the 2023–24 Turkish Super League campaign, recording two draws and a loss.

Before that, they overcame ten-man Sivasspor away from home to record a 3-1 victory, picking up their first win of the season after being on a three-match winless run.

Their performance has not been convincing, as they have picked up just one win in six matches, and their struggles in defense have seen them concede a goal in each of those matches. It's likely they'll concede a few more than they should against the league's best offensive side.

They currently occupy 12th place with six points level with three other teams in the league and three points behind 7th place, occupied by Trabzonspor.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Gungordu; Kitsiou, Hanousek, Mujakic, Radakovic; Djokanovic, Turkmen, Bekiroglu; Morutan, Bajic, Garry Rodrigues
