Prediction

  • Galatasaray beat Besiktas 2-1 last time out and followed that up with an impressive 3-2 victory against Spurs in the midweek Europa League tie. The arrivals of Sara and Osimhen have added massive strength to this team. They are not without their problems though, particularly at the back, as they still concede too many chances for a team of this calibre.
  • Samsunspor cruised to a 2-0 victory against Antalyaspor last time out. They were in full control of the game from the first whistle to the last and deserved their win. Reis' team looks like a well-oiled machine that performs extremely well under all sorts of conditions. Although Gala away is a very difficult fixture, Samsunspor are yet to drop an away point so far this season.
  • There is no doubt that Galatasaray are the favourites on paper here and a home victory would not be a surprise to anyone. However, the Lions will be tired and facing one of the best performers in the Super Lig. If there is any chance of a team upsetting Gala at home, it is Samsunspor.
