Fatih Karagumruk
Game Prediction
Commencing, traditionally, in February, the European cups are currently on a brief pause. Nevertheless, the sporting world doesn't come to a halt; rather, events will be of a national scale. This includes Thursday with its modest schedule. Then, the quarterfinalists of the Turkish Cup, Galatasaray and Fatih Karagümrük, will face each other. Will the guests compete with the prestigious neighbor? A prediction for the match on February 29, 2024, is available to the readers of the website.
Galatasaray aims to remain number one in Turkish football.
The "Red-Yellows" became champions ahead of schedule in the previous season. Thus, they redeemed themselves for the dreadful performances in the 2021/2022 cycle. And, in addition, they earned the right to play in the Champions League, where they finished third in the group - below Copenhagen but above Manchester United. After moving to the Europa League, the Turks clashed with another historical giant, Prague's Sparta. After winning 3-2 at home in the Czech Republic, the team stumbled, losing 1-4 while being a man down. At the same time, there is a battle for retaining the title in the Super League - only Fenerbahçe is holding up equally. They managed against Antalyaspor, albeit with a minimal advantage, winning 2-1.
Fatih Karagümrük noticeably slipped in this season.
The "Red-Blacks" returned to the country's top division in 2020 - before that, they had last made it there in the mid-80s. The ambitions were clear: two promotions in a row, foreign coaches (last season there was Pirlo), many newcomers with an emphasis on Italians... But only mediocre results followed. They have plenty of foreigners now too, including Sirigu, Feghouli, and Lazanja, and the list could go on. But Arveladze was appointed at the end of last year with a clear goal: to avoid relegation. And something is working out; they've started accumulating points more or less regularly. In the last round, even with a player sent off, they held off Alanyaspor, drawing 1-1.
