On Saturday, defending champions and league leaders Galatasaray will welcome local rivals Besiktas to the RAMS Park on matchday eight of the Turkish Super Lig. Galatasaray are out to exact revenge in this fixture after suffering defeat on the final day of the previous season. Who's going to come out on top in this Istanbul Derby? Read on for our match prediction.
Galatasaray are brimming with confidence in the aftermath of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash against Liverpool. Victor Osimhen's effort from the penalty spot in the 16th minute was enough to see them secure a 1-0 home victory.
Gala now returns to league action, where they've been a sight for sore eyes. Okan Buruk's charges have a 100% record in the league after winning each of their first seven games.
In their recent league game, they faced Alanyspor. Mauro Icardi was the only player on the scoresheet as the team won 1-0 on the road.
Besiktas are also riding high on momentum. A 3-1 home victory against Kocaelispor last time out extended their winning streak in the league to two games. This comes after losing two of their previous three matches.
The Black Eagles are on the road this time around, and their performance has left much to be desired. After suffering two consecutive defeats, they ended that run with a commanding victory over Kayserispor.
