Galatasaray vs Antalyaspor Prediction 26.02.2024

• Competition: Turkey Super Lig
• Date: 26.02.2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Rams Park (Istanbul)

Entering the final third of the Turkish championship, Galatasaray leads with a two-point advantage over second-place Fenerbahce. It’s clear that the championship will be a close race between these two dominant teams. Galatasaray, having won seven of their recent games, are in strong form this season. Despite their recent elimination from the Europa League due to a loss against Sparta in Prague, this setback has a silver lining as it allows them to fully concentrate on securing the Turkish Super League trophy and winning the championship race.

So far, Antalya is having a fairly solid season, currently sitting at 7th place. However, their performance hasn’t been up to par in the past month. In the last four rounds, they’ve only managed to earn 2 points, significantly decreasing their chances of participating in one of the European competitions. Despite being the favorites, they were unable to secure a win in the previous round on their home turf against Istanbulspor, with the match ending in a 2-2 tie. It’s evident that there’s no pressure facing Galatasaray, and they can freely play without the necessity of achieving a positive result.

Galatasaray vs Antalyaspor pick: UNDER 3.5 GOALS

The Istanbul-based club has triumphed in 10 of their recent home matches and it seems unlikely they won’t secure 3 points once more. Antalya, on the other hand, has suffered defeat in 6 of their last 7 matches, often leaving the field downcast. However, they’ve managed to avoid conceding 2 or more goals in their past 5 away games, proving their stronger defensive play in such circumstances. Our prediction is a win for Galatasaray, but not a high-scoring one. Betting on under 3.5 goals appears to be a safe bet.
