The season has been a rollercoaster for these teams so far, loss and gain giving mid-table places so far. Gear up for Galatasaray - Alanyaspor!

Insights:
  • Galatasaray have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded.
  • Alanyaspor have the the worst goal difference (-6) away in Super Lig

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

These are full days for the team playing at home, as they were in action only four days ago in the Turkish Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Kastamonuspor, was also a home game here at NEF Stadyumu. The away team is better rested.

Galatasaray form and stats

Galatasaray have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Super Lig. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Two home wins in a row for Galatasaray bring valid hopes of a third.

Galatasaray's previous match was a Turkish Cup game also played at home, finishing 7-0 against Kastamonuspor. The home side are looking to continue in that form. Until that beating this team had gone six consecutive league rounds without being beaten.

Prior to that, an away loss at Kayserispor in the Super Lig.

Galatasaray are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games.

Alanyaspor form and stats

Playing away, Alanyaspor have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Super Lig this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Alanyaspor's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Doumbia, Lusamba and Hassan scored in Alanyaspor's previous match, the home game against Antalyaspor that ended 3-2. That victory felt nice as this team had gone three league games without victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Farioli when Doumbia scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute. Candeias, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.25. Candeias served one assist and hit one key pass.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hatayspor wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

For Alanyaspor, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - two - five (Galatasaray wins - draws - Alanyaspor wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
