After Galatasaray failed to defeat Bursa in the goalless draw at home, The Lions need a miracle in order to be the champion of the current season. Istanbul BB is still keeping on fighting for the fifth race. They have recorded their fourth victory against Gaziantep in the last five games. The home side declared that they will miss the services of Marquinhos Barbosa, Ergun Berisha, Gokhan Kaba, Taner Gulleri and Herve Tum in the rest of the season. Two of them are the regular players; but they are used to play with some absents from the beginning of the season. So it is not a big deal for them. On the other side, coach Frank Rijkaard will miss his Australian defender Lucas Neill. Servet Cetin is not also considered by him. So We will see Emre Gungor and Hakan Balta in the central defence. Baris Ozbek is still serving his suspension. Gokhan Zan is a long term absentee. Harry Kewell hopes to have minutes on Saturday night after a long injury period. Although they have no faith for the title, they are still a great team with their dangerous attackers like Czech Baros, Arda and Keita. Istanbul BB is one of the teams which always grabbed something from the big teams this season. I believe that they will also use the advantage of their windy venue. As a result, in-form Istanbul BB will cope with the demotivated Lions.
Here are probable formations of both teams:
Istanbul BB(4-4-2): Kenan Hasagic, Marcus Vinicius Cesario, Gokhan Suzen, Marcin Kus, Metin Depe, Mahmut Tekdemir, Efe Inanc, Ali Guzeldal, Serhat Gulpinar, Tevfik Kose, Iskender Alin
Galatasaray(4-3-3): Aykut Ercetin, Hakan Balta, Caner Erkin, Emre Gungor, Sabri Sarioglu, Mehmet Topal, Giovani Dos Santos, Arda Turan, Abdul Kader Keita, Elano Blumer, Milan Baros
