Galatasaray take on Kasimpasa this weekend

The Turkish Super Lig returns to the fold this weekend as Galatasaray face an inconsistent Kasimpasa outfit at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium. Galatasaray have been in excellent form and are the favourites to win this fixture.

Kasimpasa have managed only one victory from their three games in the Turkish Super Lig and need to show improvement going into this game. The home side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Hatayspor last week and will want to steal a point from this fixture.

Galatasaray, on the other hand, were unable to build on their two victories at the start of the season and were held to a 0-0 stalemate by arch-rivals Fenerbahce last week. With Kasimpasa struggling in defence, the away side has an excellent opportunity to return to winning ways on Sunday.


Kasimpasa vs Galatasaray Head-to-Head

Galatasaray have a predictably superior head-to-head record against Kasimpasa and have won 15 games out of a total of 22 matches played between the two teams. Kasimpasa have managed only five victories and need to be at their best in this game.

Galatasaray won this fixture by an emphatic 3-0 margin when the two sides locked horns in February earlier this year. Both teams have seen plenty of changes in personnel since the game and will go into this fixture looking for a victory.
