Baris Yilmaz to Score

Baris Yilmaz was really bright in Galatasaray’s opening game of the season and had a hand in all three goals, two of which he scored from the penalty spot and he also provided the assist for the other, as Galatasaray came away 3-0 winners on the road.

Yilmaz is filling in for Osimhen, who is currently sidelined with injury. Yilmaz is a very talented player and netted 12 goals across his 32 appearances in the Super Lig last season, but it was rare that he was given an opportunity to play upfront. This should see Yilmaz get in more promising attacking positions, as he did in the opening game, while Osimhen recovers from his minor injury.

Galatasaray (-1)

Galatasaray ran out 3-0 winners in their opening game of the season as they look to defend the Super Lig title from Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, who have strengthened heavily this window.

Galatasaray didn’t lose a single game at home in the Super Lig last season, winning 15 of their 18 matches in front of the home crowd. They scored 46 goals across those matches and conceded just 15. Galatasaray ran out 3-2 winners in the most recent head-to-head meeting, with Yilmaz getting on the scoresheet.

🟡 Gala a Match Ahead of Karagumruk

Galatasaray have an iron grip on the Turkish Super Lig, having been crowned champions pretty convincingly in each of the last three seasons. This campaign could be slightly different, with Mourinho making it his personal mission to knock Gala off their perch. 

The hosts' only lost one game in the Turkish Super Lig last season, underlining their dominance in the division. Their pre-season was also pretty promising, with the Turkish champions avoiding defeat in each of five warm-up matches, winning four. 

Though their main attacking threat, Victor Osimhen, is sidelined with injury, Galatasaray have plenty of scoring power without him as they demonstrated with their 3-0 win over Gaizentep on the opening weekend. 


🔴 Toughest Possible Opening Fixture

Faith Karagumruk bounced back to the top-flight at the first time of asking via the play-offs last term.

Karagumruk really struggled on the road last season in the second division, winning just eight of their 19 matches on the road. What is particularly notable about this record is that Karagumruk only managed to score 25 goals across those games, so it'd be a surprise if they were to impose themselves in this Friday night challenge. 


📊 Galatasaray v Karagumruk H2H

Galatasaray have found facing Faith Karagumruk quite an awkward task in recent seasons. Galatasaray have won three of the last five head-to-head meetings, but only one of those victories was by a scoreline of two goals or more.
