Command Analysis
Galatasaray
TurkeyCurrent form
Galatasaray leads the national championship by a wide margin. In 17 rounds played, the lions have lost only four points and with 47 points scored, they lead the Turkish Super League, eight points ahead of their closest pursuer. The hosts are the most productive club with 49 goals scored. The indicator is gorgeous, considering that 16 out of 19 teams in the national championship have not reached the mark of even 30 goals scored.
Galatasaray, in addition to a successful performance in the Super League, of course, is eager to rehabilitate itself for last year's unsuccessful performance in the cup. Let us recall that the lions left the tournament at the quarter-final stage, and this season the management has set the task of playing better. Let's see if Okan Buruk's charges will be able to fulfill the management's requirement.

Istanbul Basaksehir
TurkeyCurrent form
Başakşehir can only dream of results like Galatasaray. However, the club has a chance to get into the top four of the European Cup. After 17 rounds played with 26 points scored, the team is in eighth place in the ranking, four points behind the fourth place, but with a game in hand. Atan Çağdaş's charges also failed in the Conference League. In the confrontation with Cercle Brugge, they needed only a win, but the visitors played only for a draw (1:1) and because of this they could not advance to the playoff round.
It is possible that the coaching staff will bet on a quality participation in the Turkish Cup, because a victory in this tournament will allow them to get into the Europa League, so it will be interesting to see what tactics the coaching staff chooses for the match.
