Antalyaspor – Galatasaray Match Preview and Prediction, Turkish Super League
Galatasaray have been struggling in the Turkish Super League and remain 4th in the standings. Antalyaspor on the other hand placed 10th and these two teams have nine point difference between them.
Galatasaray haven’t won since three matches and coach Rijkaard is under criticism. The good run in the Europa League is his only saviour. As mentioned in some predictions about Galatasaray here; they lack quality in their defence and central midfield area. Their quality in offence thus can not reach its potential. Now they even miss their one of regular central defenders Zan due to injury. Things look not so good from that point of view.
Antalyaspor are a decent side and they seemed like a balanced team which is capable of counter attacking when necessary. They may not have a great support advantage but their stadium will probably be full.
As for prediction; I expect a good match especially in the flanks both team will have their times to create chances. Galatasaray with more quality in offence but clumsy defence and Antalyaspor with a more balanced defense and midfield plus a decent potential of counter attack ability might produce some goals tonight. I’ll go for goals prediction here.
