Galatasaray, which hosted its arch-rival Fenerbahçe on Monday and left the field with 1 point after conceding a goal in the 90+5 minute, hosts Samsunspor, one of the strong teams of the league, in the opening match of the 15th week of the Super League. There is a lot missing from the yellow-reds. Cimbom will not be able to benefit from Singo, Jakobs, Sallai, Eren and Metehan in this fight, and Yunus Akgün, Berkan Kutlu and Kaan Ayhan, who have recovered from their injuries, are not yet at the level to play 90 minutes.
HE TRUSTS HIS FANS
Despite all the negativities, the only goal for the yellow-reds is to win against Samsunspor… Coach Okan Buruk wants to win the remaining three matches of the league and enter the halftime without making any mistakes and at the top. The Samsun struggle is also called the first step in this respect. The champion coach had a short meeting with his students; “We have no choice but to win,” he said. The yellow-reds count on the 50 thousand fans who will fill Aslantepe in this match.
OSIMHEN AND TORREIRA ON THE BORDER
Before the match against Samsunspor in Galatasaray, Nigerian football player Victor Osimhen and Uruguayan star Lucas Torreira are on the yellow card penalty limit. If two players receive a yellow card in this match, they will be suspended for the away match against Antalyaspor next week.
LAST 8 MATCHES ARE ASLAN’S
Galatasaray won the last 8 matches against Samsunspor in the Super League. Samsunspor last managed to beat Galatasaray 2-1 in the second half of the 2004-2005 season.
LASTLY TO F.BAHÇE
Galatasaray did not lose in the last 25 Super League matches played at home. The yellow-reds, who suffered their last home defeat in the match against Fenerbahçe on May 19, 2024, had 20 wins and 5 draws in the 25 league matches they played afterwards.
1 WIN IN THE LAST 4 MATCHES
Galatasaray could only get 1 win in the last 4 matches in the Trendyol Super League. The yellow-reds drew 0-0 with Trabzonspor and 1-1 with Fenerbahçe in the last 4 weeks, and lost 1-0 to Kocaelispor. Galatasaray only beat Gençlerbirliği 3-2 in this process.
EYÜP WILL BE A RIVAL
Eyüp Aydın, who was loaned by Galatasaray to Samsunspor at the beginning of the season, will appear at RAMS Park today with the red-white jersey and will compete with the yellow-reds. Since there is no ‘special’ clause in the Eyüp contract, he will play against Galatasaray if given the task today.
