A streak of five victorious matches in a row was broken in the last round. Galatasaray tied with Sivasspor on the road (2-2). The loss of every point can result in disaster.

Besiktas is unlikely to compete for the gold or silver. Taking the fifth line in the standings, the Black Eagles have a chance of getting into the EL, but they need to win back the gap of six points. Besiktas weakly plays away – it is only the ninth team of the championship in terms of away meetings. Yalchin's team looks good against outsiders and middle peasants, but it has difficulty with teams from the top of the standings.
Galatasaray has an excellent streak of home victories. The Yellow-Reds won five times in a row, having scored as many as 15 goals and conceded only two. If Galatasaray showed an unconvincing game at the start of the championship and during the first round, the team found its game and practically eliminated the backlog from first place in the second half of the championship. Led by Falcao, Galatasaray continues to fight for the championship gold medals. Besiktas is unlikely to be competitive against a powerful rival. Statistics of head-to-head meetings are in favor of the hosts. Galatasaray gained two victories with a 2-0 score in the last two matches at the Turk Telecom Arena.
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to win
