Antalyaspor are undefeated in their last 16 matches (Super Lig). Galatasaray are undefeated in their last 12 matches against Antalyaspor in all competitions. Antalyaspor have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 matches against Galatasaray in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Galatasaray's last 4 away games (Super Lig).
Antalyaspor have had a very quiet and sensible transfer window. They replaced their star winger Sinik with Larsson, and brought in experienced Toprak to strengthen their defence. With Sahin at the helm they became a very tough team to beat last season and we can expect to see more of the same this time around. Galatasaray have brought in seven new names, but more importantly, and to fans' delight, hired Okan Buruk as their new manager. The young Buruk is an exciting name as he prefers a dynamic, dominant, attacking style football. The return of Akgun from loan and signing of Seferovic mean they have a more potent attacking lineup. And if Buruk can solve the defensive issues of last season, the Lions will pose a serious challenge for the title. The weather in Antalya might play a key role here. In the heat, Buruk's team will struggle raising the tempo, which would play into Sahin's hands. A draw is likely. 1:1
Manager Nuri Sahin has a full squad available to pick from. Omer Toprak and Sam Larsson are poised to make their debut here. Fellow summer arrivals Soner Aydogdu and Cemali Sertel are likely to start on the bench. Summer arrival Leo Dubois is injured and will not be able to feature here. Omar Elabdellaoui will deputise. Abdulkerim Bardakci, Sergio Oliveira and Haris Seferovic are poised to make their debut against Antalyaspor. Fellow new arrival Fredrik Midtsjo is unlikely to be involved yet.
