The two clubs are currently level on 16 points at the summit of the league table with only a superior goal difference ensuring Adana Demirspor sit in pole position.
Match preview
After winning five and drawing one of their opening seven league matches, Adana Demirspor will have high aspirations for what can be achieved this season.
A 4-2 defeat to Fenerbahce is the only blemish on their report card this term, but they have responded to that setback in a positive fashion, collecting 10 points from a possible 12.
In their last two outings, they have beaten reigning Turkish champions Trabzonspor 3-2 before cruising to a commanding 3-0 win over Antalyaspor.
Younes Belhanda, Fredrik Gulbrandsen and Britt Assombalonga all found the net against Antalyaspor, helping their side score three goals in a game for the fourth time in their opening seven matches.
Adana Demirspor know they face a tough test on Saturday when they face Galatasaray, but a win for the hosts would suggest a title challenge is possible.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray enter the contest in superb form after bouncing back from a defeat to Giresunspor by embarking on a five-match unbeaten run.
Impressively, their last three matches have resulted in maximum points, including their most recent fixture against Konyaspor.
Sergio Oliviera gave Galatasaray the lead within the opening minute, but the contest looked set to end all square following Endri Cekici's equaliser.
However, an 82nd-minute own goal from Francisco Calvo handed all three points to Galatasaray, who look to be in the mood for a title challenge this season.
Saturday's visitors will return from the international break looking to maintain their unbeaten away record this term, while they also attempt to leapfrog Kasimpasa into top spot.

Team News
Adana Demirspor will be unable to call upon the suspended Yaroslav RakiStsky following his dismissal in the 3-0 victory over Antalyaspor.
With Rakitsky unavailable for the hosts, Vincenzo Montella is expected to bring Semih Guler into the backline to partner Samet Akaydin in the centre of defence.
Gulbrandsen scored his first Adana Demirspor last time out, and the new signing could be rewarded with his first start for the club.
As for the visitors, Leo Dubois could make his first start for his new club after playing 81 minutes in a friendly against Istanbulspor over the international break.
Mauro Icardi and Juan Mata also featured in the 2-1 friendly victory after recently signing for Galatasaray, but the pair may have to settle for places on the bench as they wait patiently for their debuts.
Having scored four goals in Galatasaray's opening seven games, Bafetimbi Gomis is expected to retain his place in the side.
Adana Demirspor possible starting lineup:
Ozbir; Svensson, Akaydin, Guler, Rodrigues; Stambouli, Ndiaye; Sari, Belhanda, Onyekuru; Gulbrandsen
Galatasaray possible starting lineup:
