Galatasaray hosts Kasimpasa in round 22 of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Thursday, January 20th at Nef Stadium (Istanbul)
Galatasaray learn to live without Fatih Terim. The fans have been waiting for a long time for the legendary coach to fix everything. Since 2019, the Lions have not managed to win the championship, and the previous season brought a dramatic 2nd place. But having a stellar squad (at least at the national level), now Galatasaray is failing the season. A 0-1 home defeat to Giresunspor on January 8 became the last straw for the bosses, and they fired Fatih Terim, who left his brainchild in 12th place. A couple of days later, Domenec Torrent, Guardiola's ex-assistant, appeared in Istanbul. But he started with a 4-2 defeat to Hatayspor.

Kasimpasa celebrated their centenary last winter. The previous season almost ended with relegation, but the club somehow managed to finish in 14th position. After a relatively good start to this championship, the Apaches had a streak of eight defeats in ten matches. And the fans had to wait for victories until December 25th. Then Kasimpasa managed to beat Altay Izmir (2-0). That success probably inspired the underdog, and it began to diligently get out of the danger zone. The Apaches even advanced to the next stage of the cup thanks to a victory over Kojaliespor with a non-standard score of 5-3. After that, Kasimpasa dealt with Hatayspor at home. The visit to Giresunspor also brought a victory, and it was confident (0-2). Nevertheless, the Apaches are on the verge of the relegation zone so far.
Galatasaray gained five victories in the last seven head-to-head matches. But Kasimpasa at least learned to take points from the Lions at home: a 1-0 victory in October of the year before last and a 2-2 draw in the third round of the current championship. So far, even a change of coach has not helped Galatasaray wake up. But Kasimpasa looks quite confident and can create problems for the grandee in Istanbul. We bet on the visitors to win with a +1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Kasimpasa to win with +1.0 handicap
