Topic: Turkish Super League 2024/25 Season - page 5. (Read 4574 times)

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.

Okan Buruk will decide according to Osimhen's training performance but Osimhen showed that he is in good form in the match with his national team. I think he will come on later in the Rizespor game and will be in the starting 11 in the Gaziantep game and will be adapted to the team until the Fenerbahçe game. Okan Buruk should shape the team and tactical discipline according to Osimhen if necessary. If you have such a weapon, you have to design everything according to him. I think we will see Osimhen in the starting 11 for the Fenerbahçe derby because otherwise the fans will blame the technical team for not adapting him to the team...

It will be a pretty simple match to bet on. I don't think there is any chance that Galatasay will lose points in this match, Galatasaray will win this match easily. Maybe they can score more than 3 goals. The betting odds that Galatasaray will win are very low, it might make more sense to bet on the number of goals instead

But at least it still early in the season and assessments based on last season performance can still be considered to determine who between Trabzonspor and Besiktas really has the advantage in terms of performance quality.
It just that for me personally I would much prefer Besiktas as the favorite because they really appear with very good playing style for the front line although for Besiktas defense I still think there are some shortcomings.
Besiktas has Ciro Immobile and also Rafa Silva who I think are the most dominant in every attack, these two players are really the spearhead for Besiktas because they are the attackers and midfielders for Besiktas who always make the opponent defense fall apart.
I agree that in this match there will be many goal but I also sure that Trabzonspor will be able to provide fierce resistance.

Osimhen could make an instant impact for Galatasaray, I think the Nigerian international will be able to adapt quickly to the Turkish League. Serie A is much more competitive, Osimhen was once recorded as the top scorer there, I am sure he can meet expectations even though he on loan from Napoli. Fenerbahce has a slight advantage because they are the host, and now they have one of the great managers on the sidelines. The big match will be in the spotlight, the presence of Osimhen and Mourinho in the Turkish League has attracted a lot of attention.

I'm also looking forward to watching that derby of us against Fenerbahçe in Kadıköy.    First of all, I have no doubt about Osimhen to perform his duty. It is all about feeding him with good assists.

Now the problem is who will have that task? Is it going to be Mertens or somebody else? Honestly when I look at our current squad, I don't see anyone else to do this job better than Mertens. Because Kerem has left so...

We have officially entered the last day of the transfer window for the Super League... If we mess up the last transfers I will criticize the board very harshly. 

The game of Galatasaray against Fenerbahçe is always eagerly awaited as it is a derby and the quality of both teams. The atmosphere at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium will be definitely incredible, with good pitch conditions allowing the game to flow well. Fenerbahçe has been quite strong recently, but on the other hand, one should not take Galatasaray for granted. They have their own history over a long period; therefore, this will be interesting for sure. Let us hope that we get an interesting and spirited match from both sides!


Yes, if Osimhen had come earlier, he would have been a big threat! But since he just arrived, he needs time to adapt. It's not easy to adapt immediately, especially for a player who has never played for Napoli. Batshuayi is more than capable now, maybe he will score more goals with this rhythm - and the admiration of the fans will definitely push him even harder. So, all eyes should be on Batshuayi then. Osimhen? Maybe he will step up, but for now, Fenerbahçe can breathe a sigh of relief!

If Osimhen had come at the beginning of the season and camped with Galatasaray, he would have been dangerous in the Fenerbahçe match, but he has just arrived now. I don't think it can show much of a presence when it comes to adaptation process etc. He hasn't played football for a long time.  Before his arrival, he was out of the squad at Napoli.
Batshuayi would be more dangerous than him. The audience also reacts and motivates him. The real striker to be afraid of is O.

We will watch interesting match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe teams.  Both teams are strong teams and audience like to watch the match between these two teams because good players will play well and audience will entertain well in this match. That match will be organize in Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium  and the surface of that stadium is very smooth and players like to play in this ground.  I am supporting Fenerbahçe football team because they are performing well and always did well in all matches and we saw team work in this team and all players play for their country and that's why they are successful in this tournament. Audience are waiting for that match and I am also excited for that match.

The derby match is like El Classico which you really shouldn't miss for us, Galatasaray and Fenerbache are two classic teams that have consistently been able to dominate the league so far, so the matches between these two teams will often give us an exciting and high-intensity spectacle considering their rivalry so far, Galatasaray managed to dominate the turkey domestic league in last season and obviously made Fenerbache a big disappointment so they didn't hesitate to recruit Mourinho as their new coach this season, but in the match of course we won't only see a tactical battle between the two coaches from of the two teams,  but the performance players like Osimhen, Edin Dzeko, Ziyech and also Saint-Maximin will add to the excitement of that the match and especially Osimhen, of course that the match will be his debut match to prove his quality as a great striker.

As a Fenerbahçe fan, I am very wary of Osimhen. He is a great player and can give our defense a hard time. Our defenders should make special marks for him. Maybe our biggest chance is Jose Mourinho. Because he has played such matches very often. He is one of the people who knows best how to make up against dangerous players. Maybe if we can defend Galatasaray's dangerous forwards well, we can win the match.

Galatasaray will play Rizespor at home.With a busy transfer window and a lot of news in recent days, we can say that Galatasaray is the heavy favorite against its rival.Rizespor has been struggling to win for the last 2 weeks.In the last 2 weeks, it lost 5-0 to Fenerbahçe and 1-0 to Kasımpaşa, completing 2 matches with a goal-less defeat.If we look at Galatasaray's last matches against Rizespor, there have been plenty of goals in most of the matches.I think Galatasaray, which has won 4-2 and 6-2 in the last 2 matches played at home, will win this match differently.

Victor Osimhen might have departed to Turkey soon after the game against Rwanda. He came into Nigeria with a private jet; maybe he might have been transported back to join other players in Galatasaray. The match with Çaykur Rizespor will be suitable to make Victor get used to the Turkish League. Çaykur Rizespor is not a tough side, as they have collected four points from four games. Victor should be included in the game to prepare him for more tougher games. He played for some time in the Nation Cup qualifiers, so he would be fit to play in Saturday's game. Victor's fans cannot wait to see him in Galatasaray's jersey, and hopefully he will get a debut goal or assist.

I think Osimhen will play because they will try to adapt to the team by playing his first official match with the team one match before the Fenerbahçe match.
It is a low rate but I think it would be good if he did, playing with the team for the last 15-20 minutes would be good for both the team and Osimhen.

Before that, let's look at this week's important match. Trabzon has always been a difficult away game but Beşiktaş came into the international break in great form.
It's ironic that Şenol Güneş's first managerial venture after coaching Beşiktaş was against Beşiktaş. Moreover, the match will be played in the stadium named after him, and he will take the field at the head of the team he is a legend of. An interesting match awaits us in many ways. Serdar Saatçı's ridiculous statements have also fired up the fans. I think Beşiktaş will teach them a serious lesson.

There is a Fenerbahçe - Galatasaray derby match next week. I'm really wondering what will happen in that match. I want to see how good Mourinho will do in one of the biggest matches in this league. I believe in The Special One to develop better strategies than Okan Buruk to be honest. I really like our squad quality as well. I must admit Galatasaray are even stronger after adding Osimhen to the team. But they still have weaknesses. I would love to win the first derby of the season.

Trabzonspor changed the manager after two draws at the beginning of the season, and they failed to make good transfers this season. I don't think it's right to evaluate this match with their ranking in the league last season... Beşiktaş is a completely different team this season and has a better squad than Trabzonspor. Beşiktaş will be the favorite in this match despite being the away team, and there will be a lot of goals in this match because Beşiktaş has no problem scoring this season... raffffffffaaa silva yup yup! :)
