Alanyaspor hosts Galatasaray in one of the biggest games lined up this weekend in the Turkish Super Lig. The hosts head to this game with 42 points and placed fifth while Galatasaray are joint top of the standings with 51 points, favored by a superior goal difference. This season, these two sides have already met twice, and Alanyaspor have won both. The hosts go to this game seeking a fourth straight win over Galatasaray and an eight-game undefeated run places them in a strong position for that. Alanyaspor’s main concern ahead of this game will be in defence. In their last match, they drew 0-0 with Hatayspor, handing them a first clean sheet in 10 matches. A run of three wins in the last five matches will be good motivation for the hosts going to this game and they’ll be pushed by being just three points below the European slots. Despite their struggles in defence, Alanyaspor have the second best defence in the league – behind Galatasaray – having conceded 23 goals. At 40 goals, they have the fourth best attack in the league. After beating Galatasaray 3-2 in the Cup game 10 days ago, Alanyaspor will hope to upset the league leaders again. Being on three straight home wins in the league and four in five should give them the mental edge. However, while Alanyaspor are undefeated in the last five league matches, they’ve managed just five wins in the last 15, and lost six. They have scored nine goals and conceded five in the last five league matches. Back at home, they have one loss and 12 wins in the last 16 matches, but only one clean sheet in the last seven.

Galatasaray, on the other hand, have done well in recent matches and their only loss in the last seven matches was against Alanyaspor. They’ve packed up six straight wins in the league and will be hoping to end their bad run against their hosts. Alanyaspor have gained bogey status on Gala, with four wins in the two sides’ last five meetings. To get their hands on their 23rd league title, they have to shake of joint leaders Fenerbahce and Besiktas but at the moment, breaking Alanyaspor’s dominance is key. Galatasaray have no clean sheet in the last five meetings with Alanyaspor. However, with the best defence in the Super Lig, they’ll hope to do better this time. Galatasaray have also done well in attack, and going to this game they’ve scored two or more goals in four of the last five. They have three straight wins in away league matches.
