Konyaspor
After finishing 9th in the championship last season and winning the Turkish Cup, the leadership and most of the supporters dreamed of a new season better with the clear goal of qualifying in a European cup, since then, the team it took a downhill and after 19 stages in SuperLig, we find it in 17th place, being the second “favorite” in relegation.
Due to the position occupied in the SuperLig, it is possible to focus more on the championship and less on the cup.
I think the offensive side suffers the most with the second weakest attack of the championship.
One thing that is gratifying to the team is that earlier this week Konya Baskanians have managed to acquire Samuel Eto’o and Macedonian striker Adis Jahovic, a striker in a good form who played in the tour for the revelation Goztepe and managed to score 14 goals so far (5 goals less than all goals scored by Konya).
The team is going through a weak period, in the last 6 matches, registering one victory, three draws and two defeats.
In recent weeks, defense has shown insecurity by receiving two goals in the last two matches played in the championship.
Ali Turan, the defense veteran, will not be able to play because of a suspension.

Galatasaray
Unlike the host team, Galatasaray goes through a good form, and in the championship he occupies the second position, two points away from Basaksehir leader.
Since the arrival of coach Fatih Terim, the team has 5 consecutive wins (in the championship and cup).
3 of the last 4 official games ended without Galata receiving a goal.
They have the best attack in the Turkish championship, with an average of 2.21 goals per game.
From the change of coach, the team scored at least two goals per game.
Inan lasted only 45 minutes in the last match and I do not think we will see him in the cup, but there are good things like the return of Gomis, who only scored 10 minutes in the last match, enough to score and convince him We’re going to start the game against Konye with him on the field.

Direct meetings
Galatasaray giant dominates the history of direct matches with 27 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats in the last 34 matches.
The last date was in October last year, just as now, Konyaspor was the host of the meeting. They managed to cope in the first 45 minutes against Galata and paused with 0-0, but in the second half Gomis managed a double and so Galata left with all three points.
