Galatasaray SK
- Gala, who are on top of the Super Lig table with 39 points from 16 games, have been playing a high tempo, high-pressing style since Okan Buruk took over as head coach in June 2022, while Emre Belozoglu has focused on adding defensive solidity and counter-attacking power since taking over as manager at Kasimpasa.
- Galatasaray have been relentless in their pressing this season and they create their attacking plays by overloading the wide areas and then releasing the ball vertically.
- Gala arrive in good form after following up their 4-1 away win over Antalyaspor with a 3-2 home victory over Samsunspor in the Super Lig.
- Galatasaray have won six and tied two of their eight Super Lig home games, conceding an average of just one goal per game.
Kasimpasa SK
- Kasimpasa have won one, tied two and lost two of their last five games, the last two ending in a draw.
- Kasimpasa, who have won three, tied two and lost three of their eight away Super Lig games, will try to disrupt the flow of the game with their new system.
- They can be dangerous on the break and have one or two key players, such as Pape Habib Gueye, who has five goals in 14 Super Lig appearances and scored two of his team’s last three.
