Galatasaray vs Yeni Malatyaspor live Galatasaray will be looking to bounce back from the 2-0 loss they suffered in the intercontinental derby when they play host to relegated Yeni Malatyaspor.
The hosts enter the contest in a disappointing 15th position, while Yeni Malatyaspor is propping up the Turkish Super Lig table.
Although any fears of finishing in the bottom four have been alleviated, with Galatasaray 11 points clear of danger, they still languish in 15th place.
Galatasaray vs Yeni Malatyaspor live Their recent form has been mixed with their last six matches resulting in three victories and three defeats, with the most recent of those losses occurring last weekend, when Domenec Torrent’s side lost 2-0 to their bitter rivals Fenerbahce.
Although on the face of it, there seems little to play for following an underwhelming campaign, Galatasaray will be hoping to avoid their lowest ever Turkish Super Lig finish with their current worst-ever season being the 11th place finish in the 1981-82 campaign.
The hosts will at least be looking forward to Monday’s home encounter after winning their last three league matches at the Nef Stadium, and they can extend their unbeaten home run to five Turkish Super Lig games with a positive result on Monday
