Galatasaray vs Alanyaspor Prediction & Betting tips
In the quarterfinals of the “Türkiye Kupasi” is probably the end of the Turkish record champions. After the bankruptcy in Alanya, the chances of reaching the semi-finals have shrunk. It was already clear in advance that the Turkish Cup was of no particular importance for Galatasaray. If you believe the recent statements by Fatih Terim, the lions don’t want to tick the cup yet.
Alanyaspor has undoubtedly the better cards. After the 2-0 from the first leg, a goal in Istanbul would be the preliminary decision for Alanyaspor, especially since it cannot be assumed that the second strongest defense of the Süper Lig will concede four goals. Accordingly, the betting odds were set for the Turkish champions to progress.
If the guests can withstand the punchy offensive game by Galatasaray in the early stages, the game should be in favor of Alanyaspor. It remains to be seen whether Galatasaray vs. Alanyaspor’s forecast for the Orange-Greens will come true again.
Galatasaray:
Galatasaray is heading for the championship lead in the Süper Lig. The Turkish record champions are back in a winning streak in the second half of the season, silencing the critics. The Lions from league leaders Sivasspor are only three points apart. It was therefore not surprising that Fatih Terim rotated in the quarter-finals of the “Türkiye Kupasi”.
After the defeat in Alanya Galatasaray now needs a win with at least three goals difference. With a 2-0 of the Turkish record champions, it goes into extra time. Such a exhausting cup comeback is hardly desirable for Galatasaray under the current circumstances.
The cup title – it would be the 19th in club history – is comparatively insignificant for Galatasaray. With the tight table constellation in the Süper Lig, it is important to continue the current chase. The lions prefer to avoid the double burden from the Turkish Cup.
In the Süper Lig, Galatasaray had a home record of 7-3-1 this season. The Turkish record champions only lost the city derby against Basaksehir against a home backdrop. Across the competition, Galatasaray has been unbeaten since the home defeat against Tuzlaspor (0-2). The Lions have not been able to keep their white vest in their last three home games.
If there is now a goal at home against Alanyaspor, it will hardly be possible to progress, especially since Galatasaray then needs at least four goals. Some top performers have already been spared in the cup first leg. Which starting eleven Fatih Terim will play in the second leg remains uncertain for the time being.
Alanyaspor:
Alanyaspor continues the successful trend. Last weekend there was a well-deserved point win for Fenerbahce for the Orange Greens. Alanyaspor was unbeaten in the Süper Lig for the seventh time in a row. During the week, the semi-finals will be fixed in the “Türkiye Kupasi”.
With the 2-0 win a week ago, the course has already been set. If Alanyaspor scores an important away goal against Galatasaray, the semi-final ticket will no longer be available to the Orange Greens. Across all competitions, there has always been at least one goal in the last ten competitive matches.
In addition, the fourth in the table of the Süper Lig represents the second strongest defense in the league. There were only 20 goals conceded in the 21 league games. We would almost rule out a high away defeat in the second leg. In any case, the Orange Greens have lost only one competitive game this season with a difference of two goals.
Coach Erol Bulut is unlikely to make any changes to his starting line-up. Lokman Gör and Juanfran are still missing due to injuries.
