In the last match of the Sunday program of the first round of the Turkish Super League, Antalyaspor will play at home with Galatasaray. Your attention is invited to the forecast for this match.
Antalyaspor
The Scorpions finished the last championship in 7th place, 6 points behind the European Cup zone. Nuri Shahin, who started his coaching career during the last season, remained their head coach. The "Resorts" held 6 test matches in the summer, in which they managed to beat only "Bodrum" (2:0). There were three defeats – from Metalist (0:1), Bochum (2:6) and Paderborn (0:1). There were also draws with Istanbul Bashaksehir (0:0) and Borussia Dortmund (1:1).
Galatasaray
Galatasaray had a terrible last championship, taking a modest 13th place according to its results. Okan Buruk became the new head coach, who in 2020 led Istanbul Bashaksehir to the historic first Super League title in the club's history. The club has thoroughly worked in the transfer market to prevent last year's disgrace from happening again. The Lions started their test matches with defeats from Sturm (1:2) and Fehervar (0:1), but after that they did not lose 5 matches, having drawn with Pardubice (0:0) and Salernitana (1:1), and also won Sigma (2:0), Kasimpasha (2:1) and Fiorentina (2:1).
