Today, in the Turkish Süper Lig, Galatasaray is slated to host Konyaspor.

The current form of Galatasaray

Galatasaray continues its impressive performance in this season of the Süper Lig as one of Turkey's best teams. They held Fenerbahçe to a 0:0 draw in their latest match. At this point, Galatasaray holds the second position in the leaderboard with 44 points following 17 games played. Their record includes 14 victories, a single loss, and 2 draws. The team has shown excellent offensive play, scoring 32 goals and conceding only 9. The team suffers from the absence of Oliveira, Sanchez, Akturkoglu, Torreira, and Bakambu.

Projected Galatasaray line-up

Fernando Muslera, Abdulkareem Bardakçı, Barış Alper Yılmaz, Sacha Boey, Kerem Demirbay, Hakim Ziyech, Victor Nelson, Mauro Icardi, Dries Mertens.

Current form of Konyaspor

Konyaspor managed to secure a 2:0 victory against Kayserispor in their last match, which was 13 days ago. In the Turkish championship, Konyaspor holds the 16th position in the leaderboard after 17 games played and has gathered 18 points, with 4 victories, 7 losses and 6 draws. Goal balance being 18 scored and 22 conceded. Their record over the last 5 matches: 2 wins and 2 draws. Kayserispor, on the other hand, ranks 4th in the leaderboard with 29 points, having played 17 matches, 8 wins, and 4 losses.

Prediction for Galatasaray - Konyaspor match

Analysing the head-to-head encounters between the two teams, Galatasaray holds a significant advantage. They've won 25 out of 37 matches, while Konyaspor has only 4 wins. In past encounters, Galatasaray has scored 72 goals compared to 29 conceded. I expect a victory in the upcoming match, but due to the losses in the host's squad and it being the first match after the break, I'm not as confident. Based on this, my prediction is for total goals under 3.5.
