Galatasaray vs Kayserispor Prediction & Betting tips
Before the international break, Galatasaray shortened the gap to the top of the table with three wins in a row and was at least partially able to compensate for the weak start to the season. Fatih Terim wants to build on the latest momentum of his team and book the fourth win in a row on Monday evening. At the end of the ninth game day, the home game against the guests from Kayseri is on.
In contrast to the lions from Istanbul, whose shape curve is currently pointing upwards, the current table situation at Kayserispor does not look rosy at the moment. After three defeats in a row, the team of head coach Samet Aybaba recently slipped to a relegation zone. As big outsiders, the guests have nothing to lose with the favorites from Istanbul – and that’s exactly what makes the table 18. the Süper Lig so dangerous.
In the past, the club from Central Anatolia has repeatedly been an uncomfortable hurdle for the three heavyweights from Istanbul. So Kayserispor prevailed against Fenerbahce and Besiktas, among others, in the last season, and also stood up to Galatasaray at the start of the season. The Lions prevailed 3-2 in an eventful match in Kayseri, with the winning goal only falling in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
The best bookmakers see Galatasaray against Kayserispor as favorites according to odds. A prognosis is associated with a lot of risk despite the recent winning streak of the Turkish record champions.
Galatasaray :
Fatih Terim still shows a sad expression on his face. The “Imperator”, as the coaching legend is called by the Turkish record champions, caught up with his team in the last few weeks before the international break, but was by no means satisfied with their performance. The yellow-red coach has to grit his teeth until the winter break.
In the summer, Terim’s transfer requests were not fulfilled, which is why the 2020/21 season will partly be tackled with players who were previously on the sidelines. It was foreseeable in advance that this would lead to internal problems between the club’s president and the “Imperator”. Those disputes were shelved – at least for now.
Some newcomers to the Turkish record champions are expected in the winter transfer window. Until then, Fatih Terim will try to get the best possible position in the table of the Süper Lig. It is therefore all the more important to build on the latest momentum in the current winning streak. On Monday evening, Galatasaray has a comparatively easier task.
Exactly this constellation does not really suit the traditional club from Istanbul. After all, Fatih Terim’s team already had some problems in the compulsory task against Ankaragücü, the bottom of the table in the Süper Lig, and only got a narrow home win (1-0) on matchday seven.
In addition to the long-term injured Fernando Muslera, Tasdemir, Luyindama, Etebo and Falcao are currently in the hospital. A deployment on Monday evening cannot be ruled out, but according to the latest information it can be ruled out. In addition to Babel, Turan and Elabdellaoui, two other players are currently in quarantine, whose names have not been published.
So it’s not exactly the best prerequisites for the “Imperator”, who will be forced to rotate on Monday evening.
Kayserispor :
Kayserispor in free fall? Hardly likely. At least according to Samet Aybaba, who remains confident despite the ongoing form crisis of his team and wants to initiate a turnaround in the upcoming away game in Istanbul. Before the international break, Kayserispor conceded three defeats in a row and thus slipped to one of the four relegation places in the Süper Lig.
As expected, Kayserispor is therefore in the outsider role in Istanbul. So far, Samet Aybaba’s team has only won two wins this season. In addition to the successful season opener against Kasimpasa (1-0), there was the away win against bottom of the table from Ankara (1-0). Statistically, Kayserispor is currently the worst offensive in the Süper Lig.
Only four goals were scored in the current league season. The intermittent victory in the Turkish Cup, where Kayserispor beat Yomraspor 5-0, was all the more surprising. If you take a look at the squad of the Central Anatolians, Kayserispor’s poor goal yield was not really to be expected this season.
Among other things, former stars like Aaron Lennon and Manuel Fernandes are represented in the yellow-red squad. So far Aybaba has not been able to draw on the full potential and was restricted in the squad planning with injury concerns. On Monday evening, the 65-year-old will again have to deal with a tense personnel situation.
At least in the attack department, the number of failures is manageable. In addition to injured players like Uzun, Kanga and Depe, only Henrique has to take a break. Lennon is expected to start on the wings. Otherwise, the offensive with Fernandes, Kvrzic and Alibec remains unchanged.
