Galatasaray vs Alanyaspor Prediction & Betting tips
The Turkish record champions as he is alive and well. At the beginning of the season, the Lions from Istanbul were still described as underdogs in the title race, meanwhile Galatasaray is the hottest championship candidate in the Süper Lig. Last weekend, Gala overtook the two city rivals and took the lead again for the first time since the 15th matchday.
During the week, the lions want to add to the cup and reach the semi-finals. The best bookmakers see Galatasaray against Alanyaspor as favorites according to odds in the quarter-finals of the Türkiye Kupasi.
If you consider how strong the Turkish record champions have presented themselves in recent weeks, a prognosis for the home side is obvious at Galatasaray vs. Alanyaspor. After two derby wins in a row, the Lions have tasted a lot of blood and want to keep the chance of a double win with Türkiye Kupasi. The last time the Turkish Cup was won was in the 2018/19 season – at that time the 18th title for the record cup winner.
Galatasaray :
Five games, five wins – Galatasaray conquered the championship lead in the Süper Lig with an impressive race to catch up. The lions from Istanbul prevailed last weekend in a six-point game against city rivals Fenerbahce and are thus back at the top of the table for the first time since December 2020.
On Wednesday evening, the yellow-reds will have their third competitive game within eight days. In the quarter-finals of the Türkiye Kupasi, the home game against the formally strong guests from Alanya is up. As expected, the Lions are favored, after all, Galatasaray has been unbeaten in nine home games in a row in all competitions.
In the Türk Telekom Arena, Galatasaray had three home wins in a row, with the Löwen offensive scoring a total of 15 goals. After beating Genclerbirligi (6: 0) and Denizlispor (6: 1), a derby win over Basaksehir (3: 0) followed in the last home game. After the strong performance last weekend, the fourth home win in a row is quite obvious.
Statistically, Galatasaray is currently the second best offensive in the Süper Lig. On average, the attacking division of the Lions scored 2.04 goals per game, only that of city rivals BJK is even more effective.
Surprisingly, because over long stretches the Turkish record champions had to struggle with an injury misery in the forward position. At times there was no striker, which is why midfielders like Caglayan and Babel moved to the top. With Dervisoglu and Mohamed there are now two promising options for Fatih Terim.
Alanyaspor :
As in the previous season, Alanyaspor made a strong start and dominated the Süper Lig in the first two months after the start of the season. The Mediterranean club then buckled and experienced a déjà vu. Not only was the lead in the table given up, but also the starting place for the international competition.
Most recently, the shape curve at Alanyaspor showed up again. Across all competitions, Alanya remained unbeaten six times in a row, four of the six competitive games were won. The only point losses were for the previous year’s fifth in the Süper Lig abroad. Neither against the relegation candidate from Erzurum nor against Kayserispor could Alanyaspor score three times.
This also worsened the foreign crisis. No away game has been won since November 2020, and the Mediterranean club has now been without a win for seven away games in a row.
When it comes to the latest away record, there isn’t much to be said for a cup coup at the record champions. In addition, the latest form curve at the Mediterranean club should not be overestimated. Alanyaspor mainly played against relegation candidates from the Süper Lig, but the otherwise strong defense showed rather poor performance.
Since the home win over Basaksehir at the beginning of the year, Alanyaspor conceded at least one goal in every competitive game. In the last four games there were a total of six goals conceded, three of which were conceded against MKE Ankaragücü, the penultimate table of the Süper Lig.
Alanyaspor is facing a mammoth task against the strong GS offensive. Cagdas Atan will not have to complain about any losses at the cup game in Istanbul, so the Mediterranean club will travel to the quarter-final opponents with the best possible cast.
