How to watch the Super Lig match between Hatayspor and Galatasaray, as well as kick-off time and team news.
The Mersin Stadium is set to host a showdown between a championship contender and a relegation struggler as Hatayspor welcome Galatasaray on Friday, marking the beginning of the second round in the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign.
These two teams locked horns in the season opener, where a late surge saw Mauro Icardi and Michy Batshuayi find the net, sealing a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory for Cimbom in front of their home crowd.
Hatayspor will enter this match under the guidance of their third permanent manager of the season, Murat Sahin, who takes on his first head coaching role. Previously serving as an assistant, Sahin faces a daunting task as he looks to navigate the team away from the looming threat of relegation in what promises to be a tough season.
On the other side, Galatasaray are grappling with off-field distractions following accusations of refereeing favouritism from Fenerbahce. Nevertheless, the defending champions remain laser-focused on their mission to retain the Super Lig title.
