Kayserispor vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting tips
Two games, two point losses. Galatasaray starts as defending champion in the Süper Lig conceivably bad in the new season and must travel to Kayseri for the third matchday. For the “Lions”, three points are almost mandatory after the weak start, even if the away weakness has to be overcome.
The team of “Imperator” Fatih Terim has after two winless games no room for further errors. Even the last-minute draw against Konyaspor was difficult for the head coach of the “Lions” to cope with, especially since important points were left at home. If you look at the final table of the last two seasons in the Süper Lig, there were always only minimal points cushion that separated the champion from the runner-up.
This season, the traditional clubs from Istanbul seem to be the championship among themselves. With Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas there are three hot contenders for the title.

Like Galatasaray, the hosts from Kayseri remained victorious in the first two league games. Not exactly the best performances were shown. In the match between Kayserispor and Galatasaray, the direct comparison in particular speaks for a prognosis on the guests.
Kayserispor:
Hikmet Karaman gets tailwind from Kayserispor. The Anatolian club has extended its interim solution from last season – at least for another year. With 1.45 points on average Karaman Kayserispor could save from relegation battle. In the new season, however, the goals at Kayseri are set high.
A starting position for an international competition should wave. Kayserispor invested a lot in the summer. There were a total of 19 newcomers in the summer, including experienced names like Emmanuel Adebayor. To what extent the numerous departures, especially in the offensive, can be compensated, is not yet in sight.
After the weak preparation, where among other things a 1: 9-Klatsche was conceded against the SC Freiburg, there was also in the first competitive games of the new season mixed achievements. It would be surprising, then, if at Kayserispor against Galatasaray a forecast on the hosts would be true.
Karaman himself does not have a good record as a coach against Galatasaray. Of 32 duels against the “lions” from Istanbul Karaman could take only 13 points with his teams. Since Hikmet Karaman took over Kayserispor in December of last year, there have been 22 points in the second half of the season, but the defensive performances have been far from satisfactory.
Overall, there were 25 goals conceded in the 17 rounds back. At home, Kayserispor could only defend his white jacket against Fenerbahce this calendar year. In order for Kayserispor to miss the next stunner for the “Lions”, above all, more stability on the defensive will be needed. If it works, beckons at Kayserispor against Galatasaray lucrative odds for a tip on the home side.
Galatasaray:
Hothead Fatih Terim was visibly angry after homecoming against Konyaspor. In the final seconds of the game Konya could compensate namely and missed Galatasaray thus the next setback. After the away defeat against Denizlispor, the draw at home almost felt like a defeat.
In recent years, there were always tight title races to see, where only on the last day of the decision has been made. Accordingly, reckless point losses at the beginning of the season are fatal. However, the “lions” are known to find their way to the championship form only during the course of the season, as has recently been impressively proven.
After the strong second half of last season Galatasaray Basaksehir was able to dethrone and secure the second championship in a row. In summer, “Imperator” Terim wanted to introduce some changes in the squad, but the desired new additions were missing. Especially on the striker position continues to need transfer, especially since Diagne is the only real option in the top for Fatih Terim so far.
Galatasaray will have to present better on foreign territory than in the last season, where the “lions” had a lot to do with their away weakness. In contrast to the home games, where the Turkish record champions knew how to convince with a powerful attacking game, the “lions” were more like a harmless kitty abroad.
Seri, Belhanda and Akbaba will miss the away game in Kayseri. For the suspended Seri Ryan Donk is likely to move into midfield. Other changes seem unlikely.
