Sports Mole previews Monday's Turkish Super Lig clash between Galatasaray and Besiktas, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
This Monday, two of the biggest teams in Turkish football will go head-to-head in what is considered the fiercest derby in the country.
Galatasaray and Besiktas are two of the most successful teams in Turkish football history, with a combined total of 24 league titles. Both teams have a massive following, and their matches are always highly anticipated.
This match will be particularly crucial, as both teams are fighting for a spot in the top four. Galatasaray is currently in fifth place, just two points behind Besiktas, who are in third place.
Galatasaray has been in good form lately, with three wins in their last five matches. They have been particularly strong at home, where they have not lost in their last four matches.
Besiktas, on the other hand, has been struggling with consistency. They have won just two of their last five matches, and have not been able to put together a good run of form.
Despite their struggles, Besiktas has a strong squad, with players like Michy Batshuayi and Cenk Tosun leading the attack.
Galatasaray also has a strong squad, with players like Dries Mertens and Mauro Icardi leading the attack.
Given the importance of the match, both teams are expected to put out their strongest lineups.
Possible lineups for Galatasaray could include Inaki Pena in goal, with a back four of Luyindama, Linardos, Schaab, and Van Aanholt.
In midfield, they could have Zortea, Kutlu, Mertens, and Icardi, with Akgun and Bardakci up front.
Besiktas could include Destanoglu in goal, with a back four of Rosier, Saatci, Welinton, and Ghezzal.
In midfield, they could have Ozyakup, Elneny, Tosun, and Nkoudou, with Batshuayi and Ucan up front.
Given the strength of both teams, this match is expected to be a closely contested one.
Sports Mole predicts a score of 2-2, with both teams fighting hard for the win.
However, given the importance of the match, and the fact that it is a derby, anything can happen.
Will Galatasaray's home advantage be enough to secure the win, or will Besiktas's strong squad be too much for them?
The world will be watching this match, and one thing is for sure - it will be an exciting clash between two of the biggest teams in Turkish football.
