Genclerbirligi vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting tips
On Monday, leader Galatasaray will visit the low-flyer Genclerbirligi. Both teams want to win, because Cimbom wants to stay in the lead and Genclerbirligi wants out of the relegation zone. Who will go with the three points?
Genclerbirligi:
Genclerbirligi had a bad season and was a long time last week. They started the season with coach Umit Ozat, but soon replaced him with coach Mesut Bakkal. Also under Bakkal was not good and the board decided to re-appoint Umit Ozat as a coach. Under Ozat things went much better and they even managed to stay unbeaten for ten games. Just when it was thought that it would be okay with Genclerbirligi, it all goes bad again. They are again in the relegation zone.
Last, the team from Ankara lost 4-1 to Yeni Malatyaspor. Genclerbirligi played very badly and deserved to lose. They have been playing badly for weeks. They can not manage to show offense of themselves and as a result they create few opportunities. After the bad performance in the last games there were rumors that coach Umit Ozat would resign. However, the board has indicated that it has confidence in the coach.
Galatasaray:
It will be an exciting title fight in Turkey. The top four is so close together that everyone can still become champions. Galatasaray won an important victory last week. Cimbom won 2-1 against Trabzonspor at home. Galatasaray took the lead thanks to goals from Sofiane Feghouli and Bafetimbi Gomis. Just before the end, Juraj Kucka scored a great honor for the away team.
Galatasaray was lord and master at home. They were in full control of the game and dominated the opponent. Cimbom put a lot of pressure and created a lot of danger. It did not give away any worthwhile goal attempts, except for a very big chance. Coach Fatih Terim was therefore extremely satisfied with the fighting spirit and energy of his players: ‘I love my players. We are leading 2-0 and yet they continue to attack in the 80th minute. We had put the opponent under complete pressure and this is exactly how I want to play. ‘
The following week Galatasaray has to compete against runner-up Basaksehir. Terim wants to enter this match as a leader and therefore wants nothing but victory against Genclerbirligi. Where Galatasaray is still unbeaten at home, their performance in away game is a bit disappointing. They lost six of their away games.
