Prediction published on 10/4/25, 9:36 AM  by Tyler Doty in Soccer Picks

There is an excellent reason to watch Turkish soccer this weekend. A derby between Galatasaray and Besiktas is scheduled for Saturday evening at Rams Park. It's a match that promises to be explosive, as is often the case when two teams from the capital face each other, regardless of the competition. Boosted by a string of good results, Okan Buruk's team is aiming for a perfect week, just hours after a resounding victory over Liverpool in the Champions League. After the debacle in Frankfurt, Cimbom gave its fans the best possible response. Riding a wave of three consecutive wins, the red and yellows are approaching this match with the necessary confidence. Add to that two clean sheets in four days, and you have an almost untouchable GSK!

Besiktas has been warned: it will take a great performance to overcome Galatasaray in 2025-2026. The home team has not lost a single league game, which explains why they are at the top of the table. For BJK, hopes of a title are almost gone. Nine points behind their rivals, victory is simply a must this weekend. After defeating Kayserispor and Kocaelispor by a combined score of 7-1, Sergen Yalcin and his men have prepared for this long-awaited match in the best possible way. By maintaining this level of play and, above all, this efficiency in the final third, the Eagles can hope to stand up to the best team in the league.
