Font size

The yellow-red team will be the guest of the green-white team at MEDAŞ Konya Metropolitan Stadium in the opening match of the week. The match will start at 20.00.

Galatasaray, which had 7 wins, a draw and a defeat in the remaining 9 matches in the league, collected 22 points. The yellow-red team entered the week as the leader, 2 points ahead of their followers Amed Sportif Eylemler, 3 points ahead of Trabzonspor, 4 points ahead of Beşiktaş and 6 points ahead of Fenerbahçe.

Konyaspor, which left the first 4 matches of the season without any points and gained all 8 points in the last 5 weeks, ranked 14th.

CAPTAIN ABDULKERIM WILL NOT WEAR THE JERSEY

Galatasaray captain Abdülkerim Bardakcı will not be able to play against his former team.

Abdülkerim, who came to the yellow-red team from Konyaspor and is one of the most important parts of the squad that won the championship for 4 consecutive seasons, will not be able to play in tomorrow's match due to his suspension.

Abdülkerim received a red card in the riots following the derby in which they beat Fenerbahçe 2-1 in the 9th week of the league.

It is expected that Barış Alper Yılmaz, who had muscle pain in the yellow-red team before the Konyaspor match, should not be put at risk.

While Barış Alper stayed on the field for 90 minutes in most of the 12 official matches he played this season, he played in 3 out of 4 competitions in the National Team.

THREE PLAYERS ON THE LIMIT

Three players in the yellow-red team are on the yellow card penalty limit.

Davinson Sanchez, Rafael Leao and Roland Sallai, who each have three yellow cards in the league this season, will be suspended if they receive a card in the match tomorrow and will not be able to play in the Amed Sportive Activities match in the 11th week.

WON THE LAST 3 MATCHES IN THE LEAGUE

Galatasaray had a 3-match winning streak in the Super League.

The yellow-red team, which lost its last point in the league in the 6th week by losing 4-0 away to Trabzonspor, won the next 3 matches. In this process, Galatasaray defeated Kasımpaşa 3-1, Gençlerbirliği 1-0 and Fenerbahçe 2-1.

THE LOAD OF GOALS IS ON OSİMHEN

Nigerian star Victor Osimhen bore the burden of scoring goals for the yellow-red team in the Super League.

Osimhen, who scored 19 times in the league, attracted attention as the team's top scorer with 8 goals in Galatasaray. The star center forward was followed by Abdülkerim Bardakcı and Gabriel Sara with two goals each. Mario Lemina, Barış Alper Yılmaz, Yunus Akgün, Deniz Gül, Lucas Torreira, Roland Sallai and Davinson Sanchez contributed one goal each.

HE IS HAVING DIFFICULTY CLOSING HIS CASTLE

Unlike the last 4 seasons under the management of Okan Buruk, the yellow-red team cannot perform as desired in defense.

Galatasaray, which had no problems scoring the opponent's net in 11 of the 12 official matches it played this season, could not score only in the Trabzonspor match, which it lost 4-0 in the league.

Okan Buruk's students, who had difficulty in defending their goals, could not prevent 12 goals in 6 of the 9 matches in the Super League this season. Galatasaray conceded 9 goals in 3 matches in the UEFA Champions League.

HE WILL PLAY IN 3 CRITICAL MATCHES UNTIL THE NATIONAL BREAK

The yellow-red team, which has gone through an intense fixture, will compete in 3 tough competitions until the next national break.

After the last international break, Galatasaray played 3 matches in the Super League and 2 matches in the UEFA Champions League, with 4 wins and 1 defeat. Galatasaray, who beat Kasımpaşa, Gençlerbirliği and Fenerbahçe in the league, lost to Spain's Barcelona team and defeated French team Lille in Europe.
