Fri Jan 17 17:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Galatasaray Aims to Extend Winning Streak Against Hatayspor

**Istanbul, Turkey** – Galatasaray will face Hatayspor in a highly anticipated Turkish Süper Lig clash on Friday, January 17th, at 8 PM local time, broadcast live on beIN Sports 1. This will be the 10th meeting between the two teams, with Galatasaray holding a commanding 6-3 lead in previous encounters.

Galatasaray, currently riding a 23-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, aims to extend its lead at the top of the table. The team’s impressive run, marked by 17 wins and 6 draws since their last defeat against Young Boys in August, has been fueled by the prolific scoring of Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker, on loan from Napoli, boasts an impressive 13 goals in 17 appearances this season. Meanwhile, Barış Alper Yılmaz has also been a key contributor, having scored 11 goals this season, including a brace against Başakşehir last week.

However, Galatasaray will be without injured key players Mauro Icardi and Gabriel Sara for the match.

Hatayspor, managed by Murat Şahin, arrives at the match after a 2-1 loss to Rizespor, looking to turn their fortunes around against a strong Galatasaray side. Despite possessing talented players like Aboubakar, Boutobba, and Rui Pedro, Hatayspor faces a significant challenge. The match will take place at Mersin Stadium.
