Istanbulspor host Galatasaray at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in a Super Lig contest on Tuesday (September 26) between two sides who have had contrasting fortunes.
The hosts failed to get their season up and running on Friday, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Gaziantep. Fatih Tekke’s men are winless in four games this season, losing twice. With two points, Istanbulspor are 19th in the Super Lig, just one point above rock-bottom Samsunspor, albeit with a game in hand.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray made it four consecutive league wins with a 2-1 win at Adana Demirspor at the weekend. Before that, Okan Buruk’s men kicked off their Champions League campaign on Wednesday, scoring twice to salvage a 2-2 draw with Copenhagen.
Galatasaray have four wins and a draw in five games to sit second in the Super Lig, two points behind first-placed Fenerbahce.
