Erzurum BB vs Galatasaray Predictions

It’s been a mixed spell for Galatasaray, who had ups and downs in February. They were beaten 4-2 in midweek at Hatayspor, but they went through that tie on away goals. However, their big boost came as they strengthened their push for the Champions League. Now they head to Erzurumspor on Sunday, hoping to return to winning ways, and potentially cut the gap on Super Lig leaders Istanbul Basaksehir.

The hosts are on course for relegation, as they sit second from bottom after 23 matches. They have fallen four points shy of safety, and now they need to see off one of Turkey’s giants. Erzurumspor have averaged less than a point per game in the Super Lig so far, and that’s put them on course for the second tier. Can they pull off a surprise victory in Sunday’s encounter, or are they set to lose to Galatasaray for the second time this season?

The visitors were put out of the Europa League last month, but they’re into the last four of the cup. However, their main aim this season isn’t in either of those competitions. They’re pushing for the Super Lig title. The champions are six points shy of top spot, despite their win last weekend. They’ve got a strong grip on second, with a five-point lead over Besiktas. Now the visitors are making their push for first, after winning six of their last seven matches.

They come here with one of the league’s best away records, which is impressive compared to their opponents. The hosts have picked up fewer points at home than 16 of the Super Lig’s 18 sides. They’ve been beaten in half of their home league games, and we expect them to suffer at the hands of Galatasaray here. After all, the hosts have lost at home to all of the top six this term, which has accounted for 67% of their league defeats at this ground.

With Galatasaray picking up form and winning all but one of their last seven league games, we see them getting all three points in this clash. We’re backing them to come here and extend their great run, as they look to keep their title hopes alive. Gala have won all but one of their away trips to bottom half sides, so they’re good value for the victory on Sunday. An away win is our tip, while we see them claiming a 2-1 success.
