New signing, Victor Osimhen made his debut for Galatasaray on a Saturday evening against Rizespor at the RAMS Park. The Nigerian international effortlessly shined on his debut, providing an assist that led to a 5-0 thrashing of Rizespor.
Besides being the only team in the league to maintain a 100% record, Gala have lost just one of their last 24 home matches in the league (W23) and will likely use this as motivation to extend their winning run at the RAMS Park this season to three matches.
With 12 points accumulated from four matches, Galatasaray occupies second place in the Turkish Super Lig standings. They are two points ahead of third-placed Istanbul Basaksehir and one point adrift of first-placed Fenerbahce.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Muslera; Ayhan, Sanchez, Bardakci, Jakobs; Torreira, Sara; Yilmaz, Mertens, Akgun; Osimhen
Gaziantep
Gaziantep made the trip to Yeni Sivas 4 Eylul Stadyumu to lock horns with Bulent Uygun's Sivasspor. The Falcons scored first through Alexandru Maxim's penalty in the sixth minute, but we're unable to hold on to that lead with their opponents restoring parity with eight minutes left on the clock before halftime to concede two more goals in the second half. This condemned them to a 3-2 defeat.
Following this result, Gaziantep's three-match winning streak on the road was halted. With hopes of returning to winning ways, they go up against a side that they have failed to defeat in their last four matches (L4), making this an already arduous task.
With 3 points accumulated from three matches, Gaziantep occupies 13th place in the Turkish Super Lig standings level on points with 14th-placed Bodrum FK. They are hovering three places above the relegation zone and are three points adrift of eighth-placed Goztepe.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-5-1
Dioudis; Ersoy, Viana, Saborit, Tasdemir; Lungoyi, Ozcicek, Mandouki, Maxim, Okererke; Kodro
Head-To-Head
In the last 11 meetings, Galatasaray has won 8 times, Gaziantep has won 1 time, and there have been 2 draws, with the goal difference being 25-12 in favor of Galatasaray.
Expert Betting Tips
Galatasaray are once again overwhelming favorites to secure maximum points at home, where their last match saw them score five unanswered goals against Rizespor. A similar outcome is undeniably on the cards against a side they've not lost to in their last six home matches (W5, D1).
Therefore, anything other than a home win will come as a surprise, which is why we anticipate a comfortable win for Gala by supporting them in the Asian handicap of -1.5 considering they have won their last two matches in the league by a goal difference of two and higher.
- Handicap 1 (-1.5) for 1.78
