Galatasaray S.K. takes on the visitors Konyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig – Round 13. The game will be held on Friday, November 23rd at Turk Telekom Arena (Istanbul).
Well, bookmakers are not very positive at all about Galatasaray S.K. in the upcoming match, offering the odds of nearly 2.0 on its home win. Mind you, the team is sitting second in the table. Indeed, in the last 4 rounds, the Lions got only 5 points, but one of the matches was played against Fenerbahce S.K., and it ended with a draw, by the way. The other two games were away, and Galatasaray won the last one.
Konyaspor got 17 points in 12 rounds. Though being the ninth in the table, they are just 6 points behind the second Galatasaray. The Anatolian Eagles managed to get a home win over Ankaragucu, but that was the first win for the last two months. The team played six matches in the campaign within this time, and got only 6 points, including the last game. As far as outings, they won two matches, lost one, and had three draws. Quite good, but the opponents were the eleventh, the sixteenth, and even the last team in the table. Konyaspor did not play yet with any of the three Turkish giants.

For the last 14 years, Galatasaray never lost to Konyaspor at home, though they had 14 head-to-heads at their stadium, and only two matches of these finished with a draw. The Lions had two home draws in the last 2 rounds and got four wins in a row earlier. The squad of Istanbul team is far more qualified than that one of Konya. Brazilians Mariano and Maicon, Nigerian Onyekuru, Moroccan Belhanda (much experienced in Europe – four seasons in Montpellier, three seasons in Dynamo Kyiv, one season in Stuttgart and one in Nice), Algerian Feghouli, Senegalese Ndiaye, and Uruguayan Muslera, the goalkeeper of the national team. Almost all of the above-mentioned players defend their national teams, and many of them took part in the recent World Cup in Russia. Konyaspor cannot claim the same number of professionals of the same level. So, putting everything together, it is worth trying to bet on the win of the present champion and one of today leaders of the league.
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to win home.
