Yeah, Osimhen didn't score as expected by everyone watching out for him but he was sensational, he performed well on his debut match and that's very important, coming into the team and blending ASAP shows that there's lots to offer. I think Osimhen's presence alone is a boost to Galatasaray cause the opposition defence had their eyes on him since he's the most outstanding player of Galatasaray and it gave chance to other players to find the back of the net. Napoli really made a mistake to let someone like Osimhen leave their team, I think it's something they'll regret on the long run. Well, their lose is a plus for Galatasaray cause they now have one of the most outstanding striker currently playing for them and I think this season would be a successful one for them, currently they're toping the league with zero defeats giving them 12 points. With Osimhen, Galatasaray might win the league for the third time in a role.

Galatasaray did not surprise us, they won the match very comfortably. It is great that they scored 5 goals, Rizespor was already a weak team but most people did not expect them to concede such a difference. I predicted that they would score more than 3 goals, it was not a very difficult bet. I want to see Galatasaray continue to play like this. It will be great if they continue with this tempo in the rest of the season

Galatasaray won easily against a weak opponent. I expected such a result, that's why I played over 2.5 goals for this match. Galatasaray's win odds were very low. Çaykur Rizespor cannot escape from the bottom with this game. They are playing really badly. Osimhen made his debut and made an assist. In a game where 5 goals were scored, it was interesting that Osimhen didn't score. Sara was the man of the match with 1 goal and 1 assist.

I assume Osimhen will score in the second half but he didn't. Even though he didn't score, I think he played a very good 90 minutes. As you said, the first half ended 2-0 and everything was under control. Galatasaray continued to score in the second half and the result was 5-0.

He was quite positive, even if he didn't score a goal in the match, that was enough, he got a lot of sympathy. In fact, if good passes were made, he would have scored, there were very few passes made to Osimhen.

There is nothing I'm surprised about in Galatasaray's match right now. They are in full control and probably the final score will also be bigger than 4-0. We scored 5 goals away against Rizespor not much time ago. Their goalkeeper was Gökhan Akkan before but I see that he was transferred by Bodrumspor a couple of days ago. But it doesn't matter anyway for Rizespor seemingly. They are still terrible. Let's see which team is better in the derby next weekend.  

My first time in this thread, and this is because our starboy Victor Osimhen has just joined Galatasaray, and with him my interest has shifted to the league.

Almost looked like he scored, came off as an assist. I also expect him to score a goal in this goal fest that Galatasaray are currently having, leading by four goals, and still on the attack. Osimhen getting a goal in his debut to join to his assist will be a good start to his career there which is important to maintain the value that he has.

Galatasaray was in control of the first half as they dominated the match and had more goal chances. They have scored two goals and both of them came from defenders. Still hoping that Victor Osimhen will get a goal in the second half. Anyway, even if he failed to score, he was instrumental in the second goal scored by Abdülkerim Bardakcı. I don't see Rizespor getting an equalizer because they have not mounted much pressure on the defence of the host.

I'm afraid I couldn't watch the first half but it looks like our defenders took a big responsibility to score goals.    I see that Osimhen made an assist, nice! I hope he scores also. I'm going to watch the second half just to see that. He can easily score in his 1st game in fact as our competitor is very weak. We are already dominating in statistics by far.

It would be a good warm-up for the derby game against Fenerbahçe at the same time. We need a hungry Osimhen there!    By the way where is Roland Sallai? He must have joined the club already but I can't see him in substitutes.

That is right. Galatasaray us becoming more strong because all players of that team are performing well and they are playing with good confidence.  Rizespor football team lose this match and that will be one sided match . The players of Rizespor team are not doing well for the team and now they are on the 13 position due to getting 4 points and -5 GD but in comparison,the team of Galatasaray is at top and has 9 points with 6 GD . Most of the matches of Galatasaray team won against Rizespor and they have 80 percent chances to win this match and audience are very excited to watch this match. Because both teams prepare well but everyone know that Galatasaray team is favorite for this match and it is appropriate to bet on Galatasaray team.

Galatasaray will play Çaykur Rizespor at home tonight. Galatasaray have won their first 3 games in the league. They beat Adana Demirspor 5-1 in their last league match. They were already a team that scored a lot of goals. They have now transferred Osimhen to join Icardi and Batshuayi. On the other hand, Çaykur Rizespor lost their last two league games. They lost 1-0 to Kasımpaşa in their last game. The game before that they lost 5-0 to Fenerbahçe. Naturally, everyone sees Galatasaray as the favorite in this match. I'll bet on over 3.5 goals in this match.

Samsunspor will host Konyaspor while Sivasspor will host Gaziantep. After losing the first week to Beşiktaş, one of the championship favorites of the league, Samsunspor managed to win 2 consecutive matches without conceding a goal. Konyaspor, on the other hand, had difficulty in winning matches after winning in the first week. They will score again against Samsunspor but I don't think they have the power to win the match.

Galatasaray signed Roland Sallai in the last minute. The winger transfer target has been achieved finally! Otherwise the fans were going to be really angry with the club. He is a player who can play on both wings by the way.

Now I'm wondering how much he will contribute to Galatasaray...    Because he wasn't actually a specific target for this club. They were really desperate in the last moments of the window that they offered nearly every name who was offered to them. I hope I don't wish they signed Zalewski. But it was mission impossible as you said.    Anyway now at least the winger rotation is in better condition there. I'm very keen on watching the derby next week.

The transfer window for the Super Lig ended yesterday... Galatasaray tried to sign Zalewski from Roma but failed because the player didn't want to play for Galatasaray. Beşiktaş parted ways with Daniel Amartey in the last hours. Fenerbahçe accepted 9 transfer offers for Ryan Kent but he didn't want to leave Fenerbahçe. The last minutes of the transfer window were also eventful. As much as the new players brought to the team, the players who wanted to be sent off were also on the agenda...

Here I agree about this match going to be challenging for the Besiktas with they are having impressive wins in early games but this Trabzonspor is looking not easy side even we have terrible start for them, but they are looking for fight back and things are also looking interesting but if we have another good performance from the Besiktas this will give them huge advantage in league table and in future games as well.

Trabzonspor is no able to score into their first two games with their defense is strong enough as they concede no goals as well, so things will be not easy for the visitors after international break now can both teams their record, and we will have good end of this match with mostly are expected Trabzonspor will be tried to have full three points which could be surely big setback for the visitors because they are amazing in this season and need to keep things at this level until end of season.

Trabzonspor game will be a very difficult match. It will be the most difficult game in the league so far. I expect attacking football again from Beşiktaş, who have won all the matches except the first Lugano match by more than 2 goals and scored a lot of goals in every match. When we look at the general situation, Trabzonspor matches have usually plenty of goals from both sides. The fact that it's Şenol Güneş's first game makes things interesting, but Trabzonspor's elimination from Europe and the fact that they have only played 2 games in the league makes them look like they are not ready for a battle like this. I think they don't have enough time to prepare for this game well enough with new head coach. Beşiktaş, on the other hand, will go into this difficult away game with their squad and game plan in place. I don't think Gio will settle for a draw, he will do his best to win again.

I think it isn't going to be easy for Beşiktaş to win. If Abdullah Avcı still stayed then I would say the opposite. But with Şenol Güneş' arrival I expect to see a more active team in the attacking area. I don't think he will maintain a similar defense-oriented game. I won't be surprised if Beşiktaş lose points. When it comes to Serdar Saatçi, I think his statements are all because of his bad history with Beşiktaş. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Trabzonspor obviously started horrible, both on the league and Europe they did terrible and because of that they fired their manager and got a new one. I think it's clear that we are going to see Besiktas has a much better result, they may have bene terrible last season but they are much better this season, with just a few transfers they changed the whole team and built a much better team.

So if you look at the teams right now, I can say that Besiktas should be able to win the game without much trouble. Of course it's football and we are talking about two big clubs, we could be wrong and maybe the result wouldn't be that easy for Besiktask, but it's clear that they are the favourites of this game and should be getting the win.

Ah, it was a bad time for Kerem Aktürkoğlu to leave the team, our midfield is in a bad state. Only Mertens can score a goal pass to Osimhen, he will be under a lot of pressure in the central midfield, but I think he will open the game because he is very talented. I hope we can score a goal in the early minutes and control the rest of the match.

The transfer season has ended and our team is not fully formed yet, we still have very good players and I trust Okan for this match.

My predictions for the games involving the 2 big teams that are strong candidates for the title:

Galatasaray - Caykur Rizespor

On paper, Galatasaray is the favorite to win the game, they come into this game with a sequence of 3 wins, while their opponent comes into this game with a sequence of 2 losses. The difference in the squad is also very big, Galatasaray has a high quality squad, while Rizespor has a low quality squad. If it were 2 months ago, Rizespor could even have some hope in this game, because Mauro Icardi is injured so Galatasaray's attack would not be very strong. But now Galatasaray has Victor Osimhen. On Rizespor's side we have the following injured player: Benhur Keser


Galatasaray possible starting lineup:
Muslera; Jelert, Sanchez, Bardakci, Jakobs; Torreira, Sara; Yilmaz, Mertens, Ziyech; Osimhen

Caykur Rizespor possible starting lineup:
Akkan; Sahin, Mocsi, Alikulov, Hojer; Akintola, Papanikolaou; Varesanovic, Olawoyin, Zeqiri; Sowe

My guess: Galatasaray will win this game

Kasimpasa - Fenerbahce

This is a problematic opponent that cannot be underestimated, although Kasimpasa have only managed to get 1 win in 4 games, they will be playing at home and in the last 4 games they have managed to score in every game. Fenerbahce has a good defense and a good attack that even when playing away from home they manage to score a lot of goals, and Kasimpasa's defense is not good. Kasimpasa has the following player injured: Nuno Da Costa (this guy scored in Kasimpasa's first 3 games, if he doesn't play then Kasimpasa's attack will be weaker). Fenerbahce has the following player injured: Bright Osayi-Samuel

Kasimpasa possible starting lineup:
Gianniotis; Winck, Opoku, Ozcan, Rodrigues; Guel, Sadiku; Hajradinovic, Kara, Ouanes; Fall

Fenerbahce possible starting lineup:
Livakovic; Muldur, Djiku, Soyuncu, Oosterwolde; Yuksek, Fred; Tadic, Szymanski, Saint-Maximin; Dzeko

My guess: Fenerbahce will win this game

Before the derby begins, galatasaray must first face Rizespor on Sunday, but I think in the match against Rizespor osimhen will not play and most likely galatasaray will play osimhen debut in the derby match later, besides that the derby match will  be played in one week again and of course galatasaray still has a lot of time at this time to recruit other players who can indeed replace the role of Kerem later in the providing accurate passes to Osimhen, indeed Galatasaray currently have mertens but if later Galatasaray can complete the transfer new players, of course that it will be better in my opinion, especially now Galatasaray is being linked with Zalewsky who may be able to make the Galatasaray attack better and of course can be the support needed by Osimhen in the galatasaray front line later.
