ISTANBUL (Interstat) — Galatasaray visits Kasimpasa on Sunday, May 17, in a Süper Lig matchup that pits the league’s most potent attack against a home side desperate to climb the table.

Galatasaray enters on a four-match winning streak in league play, most recently routing Antalyaspor 4-2 on May 9. The visitors have outscored opponents 14-7 over their past six Süper Lig games, with their only blemish a 4-1 loss at Samsunspor on May 2. That defeat snapped a run of three consecutive clean-sheet victories, including a 3-0 win over bitter rival Fenerbahce on April 26 and a 3-0 shutout of Rams Basaksehir on March 14.

Kasimpasa, meanwhile, has struggled for consistency. The home side fell 3-2 at Gençlerbirligi on May 9, its third loss in five matches. A 1-1 draw with Kocaelispor on May 3 followed a 4-0 home defeat to Rams Basaksehir on April 24. Kasimpasa’s most recent victory came April 19, a 1-0 decision over Alanyaspor. In its past 10 league matches, Kasimpasa has posted three wins, two draws and five losses, scoring 10 goals while conceding 14.

The teams met Dec. 21, when Galatasaray dominated 3-0 at home. That result extended Galatasaray’s recent head-to-head edge: The visitors have won four of the past five meetings, with Kasimpasa’s lone victory coming in 2024.

Galatasaray’s form has been bolstered by a strong defense that has posted six clean sheets in its past 12 matches across all competitions, including a 1-0 Champions League win over Liverpool on March 10. The squad has also shown resilience on the road, going 3-1-1 in its last five away fixtures.

Kasimpasa will look to reverse a trend of slow starts. The home side has conceded first in six of its past eight matches, a pattern that proved costly against top-tier opponents. However, Kasimpasa has shown fight, earning draws from behind against Goztepe (3-3 on April 12) and Konyaspor (1-1 on March 8).

The Interstat game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Galatasaray, reflecting the visitors’ superior depth and recent momentum. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time at Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium.

For Galatasaray, maintaining its push for a top-two finish hinges on continued production from its attacking unit, which averages 2.3 goals per game in league play. Kasimpasa, sitting mid-table, needs a result to keep pace in the congested standings and to halt its recent slide.
