Prediction for the match - 25 December 2021 Galatasaray - Antalyaspor

At 13:00 (UTC), we are waiting for an interesting game between the teams Galatasaray and Antalyaspor. Bookmakers consider the hosts to be clear favorites in this game. The coefficient for the victory of Galatasaray is 1.656.

Galatasaray suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Adana Demirspor last time out. This is likely the worst patch Terim has gone through in his managerial career and he seems to be out of ideas as to how to get out of this slump. The problem is, no part of this team seems to be working at the moment. Deputy goalkeeper Cipe has been very disappointing, the full-backs aren't meeting expectations, and inconsistency and incompetence characterise the midfielders and strikers. Terim has unlimited credit at the club, yet should he fail to get a win here, more questions will be raised. . Antalyaspor were held to a draw by Kasimpasa last time out. This was probably their most toothless performance since Sahin took over. They let Kasimpasa dictate the game's tempo, were unable to find gaps in the final third and in the end should count themselves lucky to have avoided a defeat. Sahin is well aware of the situation in Galatasaray, so will have his side defend very deep and frustrate the Lions, and pursue counter-attacking opportunities against their very fragile defence. . It is very difficult to see how this one will be played out. As it is a symbolic last chance for Terim to turn things around, one imagines he will use whatever weapons he has in his arsenal, especially psychological, and edge his side to a victory. .
