Galatasaray will look to move one step closer to the Turkish Süper Lig title when they face Sivasspor at Rams Park on Sunday.
Bülent Uygun’s men have enjoyed good results in the run-up to the season and will try to put a stop to the hosts’ title win.
Galatasaray put in another first-class performance last Friday with a 3-0 win over Adana Demirspor at the New Adana Stadium.
Okan Buruk’s men have now won eight games in a row in all competitions and secured the Super Cup title with a controversial 1-0 win over Fenerbahce.
With 93 points from 34 games, Galatasaray currently sit at the top of the Super Lig table, four points ahead of second-placed Fenerbahce with just four games left.
Like the hosts, Sivasspor continued their good late season form last time out as they secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over Konyaspor on home soil.
Uygun’s men have now won all but one of their last four games in all competitions, with an impressive 2-2 draw against Fenerbahce on April 22 being the exception.
With 48 points from 34 games, Sivasspor currently sits ninth in the league table, but could move up to sixth place with all three points this weekend.
