Round 23 of the Turkish Super Lig comes to an end on Monday when Galatasaray and Gaziantep go head-to-head at Rams Park.
Both sides head into the game in contrasting form, with Marius Șumudica’s men failing to win their five league games since the turn of the year.
Galatasaray continued their push for a 24th Super Lig title as they picked up a 3-1 victory over 10-man Istanbulspor on Thursday.
Okan Buruk’s men have now won four games on the trot and are unbeaten in their last eight outings across all competitions, claiming six wins and two draws since December’s 1-0 loss against Copenhagen.
With 57 points from 22 matches, Galatasaray are currently second in the Super Lig standings, level on points with first-placed Fenerbahce.
Elsewhere, Gaziantep failed to pull clear of the danger zone last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Konyaspor at the Gaziantep Stadium.
Șumudica’s side are without a win in their five league outings since the start of the year, picking up four draws and losing once since a 3-0 victory over Fatih Karagumruk on December 23.
With 23 points from 22 matches, Gaziantep are currently 16th in the league table, level with 17th-placed Pendikspor in the relegation zone.
