Galatasaray will face Istanbulspor with the hope of bouncing back from their last match, which ended in a 2:2 draw. After a heavy defeat to Fernabache and a draw against Adana Demirspor, Instabulspor, who's battling to get back to winning ways, may likely continue with the same starting lineup they used in their last match.
Galatasaray have not lost a single game against Istanbulspor in their last eight games, and they are unbeaten at home. Galatasaray are currently sitting in second place in the Turkish Super League, and they're above the likes of Besiktas and Trabzonspor. Galatasaray are hoping to book a place in the UEFA Champions League next season as they continue with their fine form in the league.
It's no longer news that Galatasaray bolstered their squad last summer with outstanding performances.
