Game Prediction
In Turkey, ending the Super Lig round on Monday has recently become a tradition. Typically, top local clubs participate in these matches. Galatasaray played in the Europa League on Thursday, so it's logical that they will host Antalyaspor last, precisely at this time. An exclusive prediction for the match on February 26, 2024, is available to the website audience.
Galatasaray sets ambitious goals for itself
The "Cim Bom" reacted brilliantly to the failure in the 2021/2023 season, with the worst decline, as Okan Buruk, a former player, led his former team to another Super Lig title prematurely. Strengthening the squad with a contingent of star newcomers in the summer, the Turks performed decently in the Champions League, finishing in the group between Copenhagen and Manchester United. Eventually, they moved to the Europa League from third place, where after a 3-2 win at home against Sparta Prague, they suffered a crushing 1-4 defeat. Meanwhile, on the domestic front, they were left with only one but a resilient competitor in the battle for the top spot - Fenerbahce. However, the neighbors couldn't keep up, falling behind.
Antalyaspor maintains a modest level
The "Scorpions" have been under the guidance of Nuri Sahin since 2021. Known but not fully realized as a footballer, he guided his team to the 2021 cup final and then secured a sixth-place finish. However, last season saw a slide to the thirteenth position, and in winter, the former midfielder returned to his hometown club Borussia Dortmund, albeit as an assistant. His replacement, Sergen Yalcin, generally keeps the new charges above the relegation zone, but in the last 7 rounds, they only managed to defeat Sivasspor at home with a score of 2-1. However, they only suffered a couple of defeats during this period, not counting the exit against Besiktas in the cup.
