Galatasaray hosts Istanbul Basaksehir in round 23 of the Turkish Super League. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 2nd at Türk Telekom Stadyumu (Istanbul)
Galatasaray continues to fight for the first line in the Super League. The team has been actively gaining victories lately. Three wins in a row (including the last one over Gaziantep) did not allow the Lions to lag far behind Besiktas and Fenerbahce. Now the hosts are in 3rd place, lagging only three points behind Fener. Terim's team should not slow down, and now it must beat the reigning champion. The Lions are already used to playing without Falcao and Feghouli, so their losses should not be noticed.

The current Istanbul doesn’t resemble its last year's version at all. President Erdogan's was artificially created, and it is disintegrating now. The team's average age limit is too high, and the Champions League matches physically affected Basaksehir in the championship. The team is in 15th place, having no chance to defend the title.
In the first round, Galatasaray put the squeeze on the opponent on the road (2-0). Now the layouts have not changed. Galatasaray is much better prepared and plays more intense football, while the champion is falling apart, looking terrible in defense, and not fighting for anything. I believe that Terim's team will confidently beat Istanbul, which suffered a 1-5 defeat from Hatayspor. in the last round at home.
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to win
