The green-white team, trying to distance itself from the relegation zone, entered the week in 13th place with 21 points. In the 2nd week of the league, Galatasaray won the match played in Konya 2-1.
VAR REFEREE FROM POLAND
Polish Pawel Raczkowski will be in the VAR chair for the Galatasaray - Konyaspor match. Raczkowski officiated the rematch between Başakşehir and Iberia in the UEFA Conference League 3rd Qualifying Round this season. In that match, Başakşehir defeated Iberia with a score of 2-0. In the 2021-2022 season, Raczkowski also officiated the away match between Galatasaray and Marseille in the UEFA Europa League group stage. Galatasaray drew 0-0 in that match.
STARTING 11
Galatasaray: Muslera, Sallai, Davinson, Abdülkerim, Jakobs, Torreira, Kaan, Barış Alper, Mertens, Yunus, Osimhen.
Konyaspor: Slowik, Boranijasevic, Adil, Bazoer, Guilherme, Jevtovic, Ndao, Oğulcan, Melih, Yusuf, Kramer.
AHMED KUTUCU IN THE SQUAD
Galatasaray's new transfer Ahmed Kutucu is also among the substitutes for the match. If given the chance by head coach Okan Buruk, Ahmed will make his first appearance for Galatasaray. Meanwhile, Sara, who has recovered from injury, is also on the bench.
MUSLERA TO MAKE HISTORY AT GALATASARAY
If Galatasaray's Uruguayan goalkeeper Fernando Muslera participates in the TÜMOSAN Konyaspor match in the 21st week of the Super League, he will become the player with the most league appearances in the history of the yellow-reds. Fernando Muslera recently played his 428th match in the Super League against Atakaş Hatayspor, equaling the record of Galatasaray's unforgettable captain Bülent Korkmaz. If he plays in the Konyaspor match, he will earn the title of the player with the most league appearances in Galatasaray's history.
4 PLAYERS ON YELLOW CARD SUSPENSION
Before the Konyaspor match, 4 players from Galatasaray are on the brink of receiving a yellow card suspension. Yellow-red players Barış Alper Yılmaz, Lucas Torreira, Fernando Muslera, and Abdülkerim Bardakcı will be suspended for the away match against Gaziantep FK in the 22nd week if they receive a yellow card.
UNDEFEATED IN LAST 25 MATCHES
Galatasaray has not experienced a defeat in their last 25 official matches. The yellow-red team, having a good season, last lost in an official match against the Swiss representative Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League playoff round rematch. After the match on August 27, Galatasaray played 25 official matches, including 17 in the Super League, 7 in the UEFA Europa League, and 1 in the Ziraat Turkey Cup. During this period, the yellow-red team achieved 17 victories and 8 draws.
UNABLE TO WIN LAST 2 MATCHES
Galatasaray has not been able to secure a victory in their last 2 official matches. In the 20th week of the Super League, the yellow-red team drew 1-1 away against Atakaş Hatayspor and could not win against Dinamo Kiev despite leading 3-1. Galatasaray will try to end their two-match winless streak by winning this match.
HAVE NOT KEPT A CLEAN SHEET IN 11 MATCHES
Galatasaray has not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 official matches. The last time the yellow-red team did not concede a goal was in the 13th week of the Trendyol Super League against Sipay Bodrum FK. Since then, they have failed to prevent their opponents from scoring in the following 11 official matches. This season, Galatasaray has played 30 official matches, conceding goals in 26 of them, marking a poor statistic. The yellow-red team has only managed to prevent their opponents from scoring in 4 matches in the Super League, while they conceded goals in all matches in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, UEFA Europa League, and Ziraat Turkey Cup. Overall, they have conceded a total of 47 goals in 30 matches across all competitions.
BIG ABSENCE IN THE STANDS
After the last home match against Göztepe, many Galatasaray fans will not be able to attend the match due to penalties imposed by the Professional Football Discipline Board (PFDK). Following the Göztepe match, the PFDK blocked the electronic ticket cards of fans in a total of 38 blocks, including 14 in the North Stand, 13 in the South Stand, and 11 in the East Stand, due to ugly and bad chants. The yellow-red team, which creates an important atmosphere at home with its fans, will be deprived of many of its "experienced" fans who hold season tickets.
48TH ENCOUNTER BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE
Galatasaray and TÜMOSAN Konyaspor will face each other for the 48th time in the Super League. In the previous 47 matches, the yellow-reds have won 34, the green-whites have won 5, and 8 matches ended in a draw. Galatasaray scored 91 goals, while the Konya representative responded with 32 goals. In the first half of the season, Galatasaray won the match played in Konya 2-1.
GALATASARAY HAS NOT LOST TO KONYASPOR IN ISTANBUL
Galatasaray has never lost a match against Konyaspor in Istanbul in league history. In the 23 league matches played in Istanbul, the yellow-reds won 19, 4 ended in a draw, and the green-whites have not won away. At home, the host team scored 54 goals, while the visiting team scored 16 goals.
THE BIGGEST VICTORIES
In the 2007-2008 season, Galatasaray won the match played in Istanbul without spectators due to the team's penalty with a score of 6-0. This match is recorded as the highest-scoring match in league history between the two teams.
