Karagumruk vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting tips
Right on time for the end of the year, the Turkish record champions found their way to success. Although not the best performances were shown at the beginning of the season, Galatasaray is in second place in the table of the Süper Lig. With one game less in the account, the gap to the leaders from Alanya is only three points.
It is therefore all the more important to continue the ongoing success trend. The lions from Istanbul have now been unbeaten in seven competitive games in a row. Most recently there were three wins in a row, in which Galatasaray did not concede a single goal. In its current form, the small Istanbul derby against Fatih Karagümrük is now up.
At the start of the 13th matchday in the Süper Lig, the best bookmakers see Karagümrük vs. Galatasaray the guests according to odds as favorites. If you consider how weak the newcomer presented itself in the last few weeks, the odds distribution of the betting providers for the Friday game was by no means surprising.
Karagümrük :
Fatih Karagümrük is back in the Süper Lig for the first time in 36 years. “Kara Kirmizi”, as the club from the Istanbul suburb calls itself, caused numerous surprises right at the start of the season, including a home coup against last year’s champions Basaksehir. Karagümrük was even on an international starting place until the seventh matchday.
Since then, things haven’t been going smoothly for the newcomer. In the meantime, “Kara Kirmizi” has even been eliminated from the Turkish Cup. Across all competitions, there was a record of 1-4-2 in the last seven competitive games. Karagümrük suffered their most recent defeat last week in the promoted duel in Hatay.
Two players from “Kara Kirmizi” were sent off the field in the final phase. With Erik Sabo and Badou Ndiaye, two key players are missing from midfield on Friday evening.
Due to injury, head coach Senol Can will also have to do without Jorquera and Zukanovic. Compared to the starting XI from last week, only minimal changes can be expected for the promoted team.
In the current Süper Lig season, “Kara Kirmizi” currently has a home record of 4-2-0. In the six home games Fatih Karagümrük has already scored 14 goals, five of them in the home game against BB Erzurumspor. With only four goals conceded, the defensive of the promoted team was largely stable.
However, it remains to be seen whether Can’s team can build on that home record in the home game against the Turkish record champions. The guests recently presented themselves in great shape, which is why Fatih Karagümrük vs. Galatasaray will be daring a prediction on the home side.
Galatasaray :
Galatasaray is pulling into the fast lane. The Lions from Istanbul have made up some places in the table after a strong series and have now minimized the gap to the table leaders. With one game less in the account, the gap to Alanyaspor is only three points.
The latest momentum for the Turkish record champions was always surprising, after all, the season started before that. If the latest series continues, it will only be a matter of time before the championship lead is conquered. During the week, Galatasaray recently mastered the mandatory task in the Turkish Cup.
Fatih Terim surprisingly used numerous top performers and avoided a large rotation. The double burden should therefore be noticeable on the weekend.
In the last few weeks, the away weakness of the Turkish record champions was successfully put down. Most recently, the team of head coach Terim celebrated three away wins in a row. If you consider how weak Galatasaray was in the away games before, the latest winning streak abroad was not really to be expected.
In this Süper Lig season, Galatasaray has won four out of five away games, with only one defeat in the away game against Kasimpasa.
Due to injury, Fatih Terim will have to complain about four retirements on Friday evening. Compared to the starting XI in the Turkish Cup, only minimal changes can be expected.
