Galatasaray hoping to keep title in sight
Turkey’s defending champions Galatasaray are hoping to boost their slim chances of retaining the title this season with an away victory against Mersin on Saturday.
Third-placed Galatasaray, who are ten points adrift of second-placed Besiktas, have not enjoyed a win away from home since early October.
Currently, the title seems to be a two-way race between the Lions’ Istanbul archrivals Fenerbahce and Besiktas, with Fenerbahce leading the league on 46 points and Besiktas two points behind but with two games in hand.
The match at Mersin Stadium is due to kick off at 7 p.m. local time (1700GMT).
By the time the game is held, Fenerbahce could have extended their lead. The leaders host Kasimpasa at the Ulker Stadium on Friday night.
Yellow Canaries are favorites to win at home, having not lost a league home match since last February.
The match is set to begin at 8 p.m. local time (1800GMT).
Besiktas travel to Medipol Basaksehir on Sunday with defensive problems as center-backs Marcelo and Rhodolfo respectively suspended and injured.
The game at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium is to kick off at 7 p.m. local time (1700GMT).
