Galatasaray will look to move within touching distance of the Turkish Super Lig title when they take on Sivasspor at the NEF Stadyumu on Saturday (May 20).
The hosts edged closer to their first Super Lig title since the 2018-19 campaign with a 2-0 win over Istanbulspor on Tuesday. Okan Buruk’s side are now unbeaten in five of their last six outings, claiming four wins and a draw since their Turkiye Kupasi quarterfinal exit in April.
With 76 points from 32 games, Galatasaray sit atop the standings eight points above second-placed Fenerbahce, who have a game in hand
Meanwhile, Sivasspor failed to arrest their slump, going down 2-1 at home to ten-man Kasimpasa. Riza Calimbay’s men have gone four games without a win across competitions, losing thrice.
With 37 points from 33 games, Sivasspor are 11th in the Super Lig, level on points with 12th-placed Kasimpasa.
