Adana Demirspor will host Galatasaray at the the New Adana Stadium in the Super Lig on Saturday (October 1) in a high-octane clash between two of Turkey's leading teams.
Both teams are level on points (16) after seven games, but the hosts are ahead on goal difference to occupy top spot. The Blue Lightnings have averaged over two goals per game and have the best offensive record (16 goals) in the division at this stage after only Fenerbahce (20).
Galatasaray, meanwhile, have kept up with the league leaders following a three-game winning run. They have relied on their defence, which has conceded only five times.
Istanbul Basaksehir (0) and Konyaspor (2) are the only teams to have shipped in fewer goals after seven games. The Gala have shown excellent recovery from last season when they finished a lowly 13th in the top flight.

Adana Demirspor vs Galatasaray Prediction
Both teams have been in excellent form this season and lead the pack in the division with equal points.
While Adana are riding on the back of their prolific attacking vanguard, Galatasaray have been a mean outfit defensively.
Additionally, both teams are coming off a few wins - Adana have won their last two, while Galatasaray are on a three-game winning streak. That could see them cancel each other out.
