Hatayspor’s first season in the Turkish Super Lig is going well, and they are in a position to challenge for a place in Europe. They will be hoping to put a dent on Galatasaray’s title charge when they host the giants in the league this weekend. Hatayspor are placed seventh with 46 points while Galarasaray are second with 61 points. The hosts’ chase for a place in Europe was slowed by two straight losses, the most recent against Rizespor, and they will be seeking a return to winning ways in a big way. To achieve their targets, they will also need to address their defensive issues, heading to this game with only two clean sheets in the last 15 matches, and none of them coming in the last five games. They’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the last five league matches at home. With just a win in the last six league matches at home, Hatayspor may not have what it takes to take on this Galatasaray side, as it was in their December meeting, when Galatasaray won 3-0. On a positive note, Hatayspor have scored in all but two of their 14 home matches in the league. They’ve scored two or more goals in seven of the 14 games, winning six. Going to this game, they’ll hope Mame Biram Diouf continues with his fine run after scoring four goals in their last five matches. However, Youssouf Kone is suspended for this game.

Galatasaray missed the chance to go level with league leaders Besiktas after their 4-3 loss to Rizespor in their last game. They remain three points below Besiktas and can go top after this game, with the league leaders set to play on Sunday. Not only are Galatasaray the best defensive side in the league, they also are among the best scoring teams so far. It has been tough for them in recent matches though, scoring well but conceding a lot, and as a result they have just two wins to show in their last five matches. Galatasaray have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches but have conceded two or more in three of the last five, which has pushed their last four matches to yield over 2.5 goals. They’ve won five of their last six away league games, keeping three clean sheets in the last four and scoring in 13 of the last 15 away league games. In the last 15 away matches in the league, Galatasaray have managed 10 wins.
