Insights:
  • Galatasaray have the fewest conceded goals (35) in Super Lig
  • Yeni Malatyaspor have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Galatasaray nor Yeni Malatyaspor as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Yeni Malatyaspor have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The season is still full of potential for Galatasaray as they can still win the whole Super Lig. For Malatyaspor most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
