Galatasaray vs Istanbulspor prediction

Galatasaray vs Istanbulspor team news

Galatasaray

Galatasaray are coming off a comfortable 5-1 victory over Trabzonspor. They've now won three matches in a row, and have no losses in their last seven games.

Okan Buruk's men will look to extend their winning streak to four matches as they host Istanbulspor.

Cedric Bakambu and Hakim Ziyech are still away on international duty, but that hasn't stopped predictions of a comfortable win for them.

Predicted lineup: Muslera, Boey, Nelsson, Ayhan, Karatas, Torrería, Demirbay, Akturkoglu, Mertens, Zaha, Icardi.

Istanbulspor

In contrast, Istanbulspor snapped their winless run with a 1-0 victory at Kayserispor. They had no wins in six prior games, with two draws and four losses.

This will be a tricky fixture for the visitors, as they face an in-form Galatasaray. It'll be interesting to see if they can get anything from this trip.

On the positive side, there are no injured or suspended players for Istanbulspor.

Predicted lineup: Arda, Erdogan, Yesil, Deli, Yasar, Sarikaya, Vorobjovas, Loshaj, Ndao, Ethemi, Jackson.

*Confirmed Galatasaray vs Istanbulspor lineups will appear here around 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to watch: Mauro Icardi

Mauro Icardi returned to action last weekend after a one-month hiatus, with just eight minutes of action. He's expected to start this game.

The Argentine player is Galatasaray's top-scorer in the Super Lig with 12 goals. He has also tormented Istanbulspor in the past, scoring three times in the last two meetings between these teams. Icardi will look to get back to scoring ways on Thursday.
