- Nuri Sahin has set up Basaksehir to be a compact, mid-block 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 side, with quick counters to disrupt their opponents.
- Okan Buruk's Galatasaray will be pressing higher and looking to get the ball forward quicker, with the visitors' ability to move into flexible shapes and overload vertically likely to see them pin Basaksehir deep and hunt for mistakes.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.57 seems a solid choice given the two squads and the expected game plan.
Prediction
The visitors should have more than enough to edge this one, although Basaksehir's home form may see them keep this close.
