The friendly match between Galatasaray and Hull City will take place at Kocaeli Stadyumu on Wednesday at 10:15 pm IST.
On Wednesday evening, an exciting pre-season match will take place at the Kocaeli Stadium in Turkey, where Galatasaray will kickstart their preparations for the upcoming season by facing off against Hull City. Galatasaray, the reigning champions of the Turkish Super Lig, are getting ready to defend their title for the 23rd time, while Hull City, led by Liam Rosenior, will once again test their skills against Championship opponents for the third consecutive season.
Putting behind a disastrous 2021-22 season, Galatasaray significantly improved upon their 13th-place finish and reclaimed their rightful position at the top of the Super Lig table last season. They collected an impressive 88 points from 36 matches, securing a commanding lead over their closest rivals Fenerbahce and clinching their 23rd Turkish championship. Their end-of-season form was exceptional, with six consecutive victories, conceding just one goal in the process. They sealed their successful campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Hatayspor.
However, Hull City struggled to assert their dominance throughout significant portions of the 2022-23 Championship season. In their second season in the second-tier league following promotion from League One in 2021, Hull City aimed to consolidate their position. They managed to improve upon their 19th-place finish from the previous season and secured the 15th spot by the end of the campaign. As part of their training camp in Turkey, Rosenior’s team is also scheduled to face Hatayspor. They will then finalize their preparations for the new season with matches against Grimsby Town, Barnsley, Bradford City, and Scunthorpe United.
Galatasaray probable starting lineup: Muslera, Boey, Ayhan, Bayram, Karatas, Kutlu, Torreira, Demir, Zaniolo, Akturkoglu, Mertens
Hull City probable starting lineup: Ingram, Coyle, Jones, McLoughlin, Greaves, Seri, Simons, Sayyadmanesh, Tufan, Longman, Delap
