Galatasaray welcome Pendik to Rams Park for a Turkish Super Lig matchday 33 fixture on Sunday.
The hosts are coming off a 4-0 away thrashing of Alanyaspor last week. All four goals were scored in the second half, with Baris Alper Yilmaz scoring a brace while Hakim Ziyech and Mauro Icardi scored a goal each. The hosts were reduced to 10 men when Leroy Fer received his marching orders in the 64th minute.
Pendik, meanwhile, fell to a 3-2 defeat at home to Basaksehir. Mame Thiam put them ahead in the 18th minute while the visitors drew level in the 36th minute through Joao Figueiredo in the 36th minute. The 27-year-old's brace put Basaksehir ahead five minutes into the second half while Fredrik Midtsjo equalized six minutes later. Welinton's dismissal shortly after saw the visitors take advantage to score the match-winner in the 80th minute.
The defeat left Pendikspor in 19th spot, having garnered 30 points from 32 games. Galatasaray lead the way with 87 points to their name.
