Match preview
Despite a heavy loss in the Champions League to Eintracht (1:5), Galatasaray’s season so far is positive. They have played five league matches, earning a perfect 15 points, scoring 15 goals and conceding just one. The team has performed strongly domestically, giving little chance to their opponents in each game.
The “Lions” play aggressive football across the field, pressing forward, allowing few chances, and taking advantage of their opportunities effectively. Their strong squad, enhanced over the summer, is unmatched in the Super Lig.
Konyaspor has played four matches to date, achieving a steady start for a club of their level: two wins—3-0 against Gaziantep and 4-1 against Eyüpspor—along with a 1-1 draw against Göztepe and a narrow 1-2 loss to Alanyaspor.
Coached by Recep Uçar, Konyaspor favors a counter-attacking approach, which may pose a tactical test for Galatasaray.
Probable lineups
Galatasaray: Çakır, Szalai, Sánchez, Bardakcı, Elmalı, Torreira, Sara, Sané, Gündoğan, Akgün, Icardi
Konyaspor: Ertaş, Anzuana, Bazur, Demirbağ, Guilherme, Evtović, Ndao, Aleksic, İbrahimoglu, Bardi, Nair
