Fresh off the back of a historic Champions League victory over Manchester United, Galatasaray visit Corendon Airlines Park to face Antalyaspor on Saturday.
Nuri Sahin’s men head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last 14 meetings since April 2016.

Prior to that, Sahin’s men picked up their first win of the season as they beat Samsunspor 2-0 on September 23 to end their five-match winless run.

Antalyaspor vs Galatasaray Prediction
After a slow start to the season, Antalyaspor appear to have hit their stride of late and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling. However, they face the stern challenge of taking on a high-flying Galatasaray side who have not lost a competitive game since the start of May.
Given the gulf in quality and depth between the two sides, we are backing the visitors to come away with all three points.
