Title-chasing Galatasaray are on their travels this weekend when they make to trip to Yeni Malatyaspor for a Super Lig clash on Sunday. The visitors are presently third in the table with 36 points from 19 games. This sum leaves them five points behind leaders Besiktas. Yeni are further down the table in ninth with 27 points. A win in this fixture could see them climb as high as seventh. Recent form would indicate that they have a decent chance of getting three points too. They won their last two Super Lig matches, one of which was at home. That home win, a 4-1 triumph over Rizespor, was their first triumph at the Yeni Malatya Stadyumu in four matches. One of the previous failed attempts was actually against Galatasaray in the Turkish Cup. That match ended level after neither side found the back of the net. Then, Yeni took the lead near the end of the first half of extra-time. They were agonisingly close to victory before Christian Luyindama scored in the last minute to send the game to penalties, which Galatasaray won. 

The defeat for Yeni means that they have failed to win their previous six meetings with Galatasaray, with the Turkish giants winning four times. While Galatasaray contest this game following an impressive 6-1 home beating of Denizlispor, their away form has been dodgy. They have lost three of their previous five away games in all competitions. Yeni were unlucky to exit the Cup a fortnight ago, but they can get some semblance of revenge here by slowing down Galatasaray's title charge. Back a draw.
