Galatasaray vs Adana Demirspor Match Analysis and Prediction

4 years ago 653

Adana Demirspor will be looking to end their run of four successive defeats when they travel to the Nef Stadium to take on Galatasaray on Monday.

The hosts enter the Turkish Super Lig contest in 13th spot on 48 points from 36 matches, while 52 points from 36 matches leaves Adana Demirspor ninth in the table.

Galatasaray have endured an abysmal campaign, and even though they will be keen to see the back of the 2021-22 campaign, Monday’s hosts still have the chance to move into the top half of the table.

Domenec Torrent’s side have fallen short of last season’s second-place finish after spending much of the campaign in the bottom half of the Turkish Super Lig table.

Despite picking up just one point from their last two matches, Galatasaray will be hoping to give their supporters something worth cheering about in their final home game of the season.

Although they may have lost in their previous match at the Nef Stadium, the hosts have won four of their last five home games in the league and a win on Monday would represent their 10th home league victory of the season.

On the other hand, Adana Demirspor have fallen away from European contention in recent weeks following a poor run of results.

After 32 games, Vincenzo Montella’s side found themselves just one point adrift of the top four, but they have since slipped, with their last four matches all ending in defeat.

Demirspor were almost picking up at least a point last weekend after Younes Belhanda equalised against Alanyaspor to cancel out Tayyib Sanuc’s own goal, but Emre Akbaba’s 76th-minute goal condmned Adana Demirspor to another defeat.

The visitors will be keen of avoiding to take a winless run into the summer break, with only two matches remaining in the campaign.

Galatasaray news

Omar Elabdellaoui and Marcao are set to be sidelined for Galatasaray due to injury issues, while Sofiane Feghouli could be joined on the bench by Emre Kilinc after serving a one-game suspension.

Torrent could make a couple of changes with Erick Pulgar and Bafetimbi Gomis in line to be handed recalls.

Adana Demirspor news

Demirspor could be without Benjamin Stambouli, who has missed the last three matches due to a muscle injury, while Matias Vargas may return to the starting lineup.

Mario Balotelli is expected to lead the line for the hosts after coming back into the side to start in the defeat to Alanyaspor.

Prediction and Odds

Despite having endured a disappointing campaign, we think Galatasaray’s four wins from their last five games will give them the confidence to win the final home league game.

Adana Denirspor are deprived off confidence after experiencing a run of four successive defeats, a record that may repeat on Monday.
