Galatasaray-Kayserispor prediction and free tip
Even Icardi, who is struggling with an injury, may be needed in Monday’s championship, but on paper, the home team doesn’t need agony.
As we have reported several times recently, two teams will fight for the gold medal in the Turkish Super Lig again this year. Fener is perhaps in a slightly better shape and currently has a five-point advantage over Galatasaray, which, if they win, can reduce the gap to two points again. A few days earlier, Okan Buruk’s boys only managed a 1-1 draw at the home of Sivas, even though the three units looked good for them there as well, this should be quickly forgotten.
Team news
In order to achieve success, according to Turkish newspaper information, the coach of the home team may even use Icardi, who suffered a facial injury in the Istanbul derby. The star striker from Argentina will be able to run onto the pitch with a mask on his head, and his services are greatly needed, as he has contributed to 17 goals in 16 league games so far (12 goals, 5 assists). Buruk’s job may be a little easier for Monday’s champions, but there are still important omissions, as Ziyech (Morocco) and Bakambu (Congo) are competing in the Africa Cup, Boey and Ayhan are struggling with injuries, and Aktürkoglu is suspended, replaced by 23-year-old Brazilian Teté.
The AFCON also affects the guests massively, Carlos Mane, Olivier Kemen and Julian Jeanvier also traveled to the tournament, and Majid Hossein represents Iran at the Asian Cup. Cardozo and Uzodimma will not be able to play due to injury, so Kayserispor will also be able to play with an upended squad.
Although Galatasaray is only second in the standings, they are at the top with an overwhelming performance so far in domestic terms. In Rams Park, the Buruk team has won 9/9 so far, which also concedes goals only in front of its own audience (23-6). Kayserispor, on the other hand, is not very steely away from home, where it only managed to win three times during the season, and in addition, it lost all of its last four championships.
Taking all series into account, the sides have faced each other 40 times so far, and the tip of the scale is massively tilted towards Galata, which has won 23 times and lost only four times. Icardi’s team also showed in the Champions League what a high level they represent on their own pitch and despite the omissions, we expect smooth home success this time. Especially if Icardi is really playing, whose goal can currently only be placed at around @1.55. In the end, what we picked the Lions to win without their opponent scoring, because this was slightly overpriced by the bookies in the light of the previous games.
✅ Tip #1: Galatasaray to win + Both teams to score @2.32
