Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi Turk Telekom Stadium clash with Ankaragücü, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Super Lig table.
The hosts Galatasaray saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Champions League. That game was an away game at PSG, so at least Galatasaray are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
