After Manisa is out of the Turkish Cup as they have eliminated by Fenerbahce in the semi final, they will fight for their salvation in the rest of the season. They have recorded three goalless draws in the last three games and now they host Galatasaray which is not in the good mood although they have crushed Diyarbakir last week. The captain Arda Turan, Leo Franco and Jo were protested by the fans during the game. Coach Frank Rijkaard will probably keep on fielding Milan Baros, who has scored three times in the last league game, instad of Jo. Baris Ozbek continues to serve his suspension. Gokhan Zan and Harry Kewell are still out. Keita is also doubtful. On the other side, defender Ferhat Cokmus is suspended. Manisa has been doing a great defence nowadays. While Arda Turan is not in his best shape and Keita is a concern, the visitors may have problem in the offence line. So I believe that there will be a tight fight in the midfield and it will also make the first half end in a tie.
Here are probable formations of both teams:
Manisaspor(4-5-1): Ilker Avcibay, Burak Ozsarac, Jacques Momha, Huseyin Tok, Eren Aydin, Josh Simpson, Guven Varol, Mehmet Nas, Mehmet Guven, Yigit Incedemir, Isaac Promise
Galatasaray(4-3-3): Leo Franco, Hakan Balta, Servet Cetin, Lucas Neill, Sabri Sarioglu, Mehmet Topal, Mustafa Sarp, Arda Turan, Abdul Kader Keita, Giovani Dos Santos, Milan Baros
