Galatasaray seems unstoppable in Turkish football this season. They are dominant in Super Lig, with 11 points more than the next on the table, Fenerbahce. Also, Okan Buruk's team are playing well in the Europa League, too, where they could even progress directly to the 1/8 final. Galatasaray are without defeat since August. In the previous game, they won 2-1 at home against Goztepe. Galatasaray's fans surely expected an easier win, but in the end, the most important thing was that they secured another victory.
Basaksehir are not good enough to compete in Super Lig with Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, but they could fight for the places behind them. The last few months were far from satisfying for Basaksehir as they won only four of the last 17 matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Adana Demirspor. The home side finished the match with xG of 0.54, while guests had 1.33, so Basaksehir took home all three points.
Galatasaray vs Basaksehir pick: Over 3.5 goals
Galatasaray scored 18 goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Basaksehir scored 15 goals in the previous seven games. We should see a high-scoring cup tie on Wednesday between these two high-scoring teams.

Galatasaray team news
After the previous league match, Galatasaray's head coach, Okan Buruk, talked about the winter transfer window. He said that after Mauri Icardi's injury, bringing in a striker became a priority for the club. In December, there were reports that Galatasaray is interested in Lyon's Georges Mikautadze, and in the next few weeks, we will see if the Turkish side could sign him.
Icardi is the only Galatasaray player that will skip Wednesday's tie.
