Galatasaray vs Antalyaspor Prediction & Match Preview

• Galatasaray come into this on the back of seven successive league wins.
• Antalyaspor lost three and drew one of the last four outings across competitions.
• Galata bagged two or more goals in each of the last seven Super Lig affairs.

Galatasaray’s European adventures came to an end on Thursday evening. The Istanbul heavyweights suffered a painful 1-4 defeat to Sparta Prague in the reverse game of the UEFA Europa League knockout round playoffs. Okan Buruk’s men can now shift the full focus on domestic competitions in an attempt to chase the double crown.

Galatasaray are two points clear at the top of the Super Lig standings. They did not have any problems away at Ankaragucu last weekend. Buruk’s men finished the job in the first half by netting three unanswered goals. It was the seventh subsequent league win for Galata. They are big favourites to keep things phenomenal streak alive on Monday evening. Galatasaray play host to Antalyaspor in the last match of Gameweek No 27 at RAMS Park.

The visitors shockingly dropped a two-goal lead in the home clash against rock-bottomed Istanbulspor nine days ago. It was the fifth consecutive winless affair for Sergen Yalcin’s troops. Antalyaspor’s recent form has been dreadful. The team is slowly losing touch with the likes of Besiktas, Kasimpasa, and Rizespor in the battle for the European positions next season.

Galatasaray vs Antalyaspor Prediction

We have a pretty clear situation here. Galatasaray are on a run of seven straight league wins. They have an impeccable home record of 13 wins in 13 Super Lig fixtures at RAMS Park so far in the season. They have also dominated this matchup historically and will come into this on the back of five victories and a draw in the last six clashes against Antalyaspor.

Antalyaspor have been struggling to keep things quiet at the back of late. The fact they allowed two goals in the home fixture against the rock-bottomed Istanbulspor best describes their defensive shape at the moment. Sergen Yalcin’s troops allowed two or more goals in each of the previous four clashes in all competitions. Meanwhile, Galatasaray notched at least two goals in each of the previous seven league outings. Their top scorer Mauro Icardi has 14 goals to his name in 23 Super Lig appearances this term. We will back the Argentinean forward to score anytime on Monday at the 1.83 odds.
