Galatasaray vs Akhisar Genclik Spor Prediction & Betting tips
The weekend is all about the Supercup! In many countries, this cup will be played between the champions and the cup winners or the cup finalists this Saturday and Sunday. So also in Turkey. There meet on Sunday champion Galatasaray Istanbul and Cup Winners Akhisar Belediyespor on each other. In the past season in the Süper Lig, the two worlds separated. But in the semi-final of Türkiye Kupasi the underdog kept the upper hand. In the Supercup between Galatasaray and Akhisar Belediyespor the betting odds in the direction of the lions from Istanbul are the winners.
Galatasaray:
The Turkish Süper Lig was extremely exciting in their last season. The Istanbul clubs Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Basaksehir and Besiktas dominated the league and finished at the end of the seats one to four. Until shortly before the end of each of these four clubs could still be masters. Galatasaray Istanbul won the final with three points ahead of Fenerbahce and Basaksehir and four points ahead of Besiktas. With a final spurt and six wins on the last six matchdays Galatasaray left the competition, which also almost exclusively won only, behind. Overall, Galatasaray Istanbul came to a record of 24 wins, three draws and seven defeats. Thus, Galatasaray surprisingly had the most bankruptcies of all four of the aforementioned Istanbul clubs. For the new season is of course the title defense on the plan. The preparation of Galatasaray was rather mixed.
Against FC Wil (1-0), the Turkish amateur Sakaryaspor (3-0) and the Tunisian club Club Africain (1-0 with a goal in the third minute of stoppage time), there were only narrow victories. The games against PSV Eindhoven (1: 3), Valencia (1: 2) and last weekend against AEK Athens (2: 3) were lost. In terms of human resources, there was hardly any movement at Galatasaray Istanbul. Although brought the summer and Galatasaray Istanbul some entrances and exits. Worth mentioning are only Yuto Nagatomo (Inter Milan) and Henry Onyekuru (Everton loan), who will play for Gala next season. On the exit side, Leebo’s transfer of Luis Pedro Cavanda (Standard Liège) and the departure of Koray Günter (Genoa) should be worth mentioning.
Akhisar Belediyespor:
Akhisar Belediyespor finished last season somewhere in nowhere. With eleven wins, nine draws and fourteen defeats they found the club at the end of the second half of the table in eleventh place. But in the national cup Akhisar Belediyespor was unstoppable – at least almost not. In the nine games to the final, there were two defeats. In the second round against the second division Boluspor, there was almost the end when Akhisar Belediyespor the first leg away despite a 1-0 lead in the final minutes still lost 1: 2. In the second leg at home then handed a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from the penalty spot. The second defeat came in the semi-final when Akhisar Belediyespor lost 2-1 at home to Galatasaray in Istanbul. When everyone dreamed of a dream final between Galatasaray Istanbul and Fenerbahce Istanbul, Akhisar Belediyespor thwarted this one and won the second leg away 2-0.
In the final of the Türkiye Kupasi then sat Akhisar Belediyespor against Fenerbahce Istanbul by 3: 2 and celebrated with it the biggest success in the history of the club. In preparation for the new season Akhisar Belediyespor played only three real test matches. The results were poor. Against Lokomotiv Moscow Akhisar Belediyespor lost 1: 2, from Leicester City, the Turkish Cup winner drew scoreless. Only against Al Duhail from Qatar there was a narrow 2-1 win. Akhisar Belediyespor has not moved money in the transfer market so far. Either players like Güray Vural (Kayserispor), Elvis Manu (Genclerbirligi) or Avdija Vrsajevic (Osmanlispor) came on a free transfer or left the club without collecting money like Soner Aydogdu (Basaksehir).
