Galatasaray concluded their European journey by being knocked out of the Europa League in the round of 32. After a painful 1-4 defeat against AZ in the first leg, the Turkish giants needed a miracle, but the return match in Istanbul ended in a 2-2 draw, which ultimately closed the door for the “Lions” to the next round. Now all the focus of Okan Buruk’s team is on the Super Lig, where the Turkish giant has a great chance to secure the championship title.
In the last round of the Turkish Super Lig, the team hosted Fenerbahce, their main competitor in the race for the gold medals. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, although the hosts looked extremely weak, as indicated by the xG statistic – 0.12 against 1.53. Prior to this, the Istanbul team had secured victories in their last four Super Lig matches. Nevertheless, the draw allowed them to maintain a six-point gap from the “Canaries”.
In the national championship, Recep Uçar’s team is positioned 14th in the table, with 25 points. Six wins and seven draws allow the team to stay just one point away from the relegation zone. There is no talk of competing for European cups – the gap from the top 4 is a substantial 16 points, making the task nearly impossible.
In recent rounds, the “White-Greens” found themselves in a difficult situation: a defeat by Samsunspor (0-1), and then a setback in a thrilling shootout with Kayserispor (2-3) complicated the team’s tournament prospects. They managed to earn points last weekend when Konyaspor drew away with Sivasspor (1-1). Meanwhile, the club started well in the Turkish Cup and is in first place after two rounds.
