Turkish Super Lig Predictions: Monday's Galatasaray vs. Besiktas Clash

Monday's Turkish Super Lig Matchday 19 promises to be a thrilling one, with Galatasaray and Besiktas set to clash in a highly anticipated match.

Here's a closer look at the match and our predictions:

Galatasaray has been in excellent form this season. They are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning four and drawing one. They have also scored 12 goals in those five games, while conceding just two. Their home form has been particularly impressive, with Galatasaray winning their last three matches at the Turk Telekom Stadium.

Besiktas, on the other hand, has been somewhat inconsistent this season. They have won three of their last five matches but have also lost two. They have scored 10 goals in those five games but have conceded eight. Their away form has been mixed, with Besiktas winning two, drawing one, and losing two of their last five away matches.

Head-to-head, Galatasaray has the slight edge over Besiktas. They have won 11 of the last 20 meetings between the two sides, with Besiktas winning seven and two matches ending in draws. Galatasaray has also won the last two matches between the two teams, including a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

Based on current form and head-to-head record, Galatasaray would appear to be the favorites to win Monday's match. However, Besiktas has a history of performing well in big matches, and they will be determined to close the gap on their rivals. This is a match that could go either way, but we predict that Galatasaray will edge it 2-1.

• Galatasaray to win 2-1
• Galatasaray to score first
• Besiktas to score in the second half
