Rizespor-Galatasaray, the likely lineups

Galatasaray, full of former Italian players, faces a tough away match against Rizespor in the 24th day of the Turkish Super Lig. The Istanbul team will be called upon to hit the three points to move back to +6 on José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

Palut will line up  Cetin in goal, Papanikolaou and Pala will be the two middies who will have to give protection to the defense, while Ghezzal, Varesanovic and Babajide will play on the three-quarter to support Sowe in attack.

Buruk’s team, on the other hand, will rely on Cuesta, Sanchez and former Sassuolo man Ayhan in defense, while Kristensen and Sallai will be the two outside midfielders. Mertens will act as a trequartista behind Osimhen and Morata, who will form the attacking pair.

Probable lineups

Rizespor (4-2-3-1): Cetin; Sahin, Mocsi, Akaydin, Hojer; Papanikolaou, Pala; Ghezzal, Varesanovic, Babajide; Sowe. Coach: Palut.

Galatasaray (3-4-1-2): Guvenc; Cuesta, Sanchez, Ayhan; Jelert Kristensen, Kutuc, Gabriel Sara, Sallai; Mertens; Osimhen, Morata. Coach: Buruk.
