GAL vs TRB Dream11: Galatasaray look to be putting some poor form behind them after a 1-3 win at Goztepe on Saturday broke a three-match winless run, and they have a game in-hand over Fenerbahce above them in the Super Lig, and over Trabzonspor six points below them coming into this match. Trabzonspor are unbeaten in six league games but have won just one of those in a serious downturn in form, with four-straight draws suggesting their goals have dried up in a big way. Whilst hosts Galatasaray have been sub-par, their goal-scoring has remained largely intact and that should be the difference I this encounter.
Date: 21 April, Wednesday Time: 9:30 PM (IST) Venue: Türk Telekom Stadyumu, Istanbul Watch A League Live Streaming: No official streaming in India.
