Welcome to Bahçeşehir Okulları Arena and this match between Alanyaspor and Galatasaray in the Super Lig. Here's everything you must know!
- Alanyaspor have the most scored goals (23) at home in Super Lig
- Galatasaray have the most dropped points from leading position (21) in Super Lig
These teams have little in common geographically as Galatasaray have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Alanyaspor form and stats
5 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Alanyaspor have to build on here at Bahçeşehir Okulları Arena in the Super Lig.
A good away victory last time out for Alanyaspor, who won 3-1 against Giresunspor (placed 16th). Midfielder Akbaba was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.6 (out of ten) in that game. Akbaba scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Hatayspor in a game that was won 6-0.This is expected to be a close game, with Alanyaspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Alanyaspor as a small favourite), we find five games. Alanyaspor has won two of these, drawn zero and lost three.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Alanyaspor, as the Turkish Cup home game vs Adana Demirspor is only four days away.
Goals decide football matches and Alanyaspor are scoring many of them at home; 23 on target from 11 league matches. 15 goals have been conceded.
Galatasaray form and stats
Galatasaray have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Super Lig, after 2-4-5 (11 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Galatasaray who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Antalyaspor was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Galatasaray might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Trabzonspor proved too strong as Galatasaray slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Türk Telekom Stadyumu. Midfielder Kutlu was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.64. Kutlu hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Trabzonspor.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Galatasaray playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Galatasaray wins, one draw and three defeats.
Galatasaray have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 13 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Galatasaray have conceded 19 goals in their away games. Galatasaray has visited these top teams three times, and 2 of 3 has ended with 2 goals or more!
