Galatasaray will welcome Yeni Malatyaspor to the Nef Stadium for a matchday 33 fixture in the Turkish Super Lig on Monday.

The home side will be looking to return to winning ways following their listless 2-0 defeat away to eternal rivals Fenerbahce last Sunday. Miha Zajc and Serdar Dursun scored in either half to guide the Yellow Canaries to all three points.

Malatyaspor fell to a 1-0 loss to Giresunspor on home turf. Hamidou Traore's strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

The defeat left them rooted to the bottom of the standings on 20 points and they have already been relegated from the top-flight. Gala sit in 15th spot on 41 points and are on course for their worst-ever Super Lig finish.

Galatasaray vs Yeni Malatyaspor Prediction

Yeni Malastyaspor having already been relegated means they do not have any extra motivation to seek a win and their four-game losing streak is indicative of their decreased confidence.

Galatasaray, for their part, have blown hot and cold but are heavily fancied to secure maximum points against the basement team. Despite their inconsistencies, the hosts should still have too much firepower for Malatyaspor.
