Goal Statistics

Galatasaray's defensive record is to be admired, O. Buruk's men having conceded 1 or less in 15 consecutive Super Lig games. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Istanbul Basaksehir makes sense in this context.

A PG of 2.3 is decent for Galatasaray in their meeting with Istanbul Basaksehir, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 29 consecutive Super Lig outings.
