Victor Osimhen’s Galatasaray have been nothing short of exceptional in the Süper Lig this season.
With 71 points from a possible 81, they have established themselves as the team to beat. Their impressive tally of 22 wins and five draws from 27 matches speaks volumes about their consistency and quality.
However, their remarkable run of form will face a stern test when they take on Istanbul rivals Beşiktaş at the Tüpraş Stadium on Sunday. Galatasaray’s attacking prowess has been particularly impressive, netting 68 goals this season, with Osimhen contributing 20.
Meanwhile, their defensive solidity is evident, having conceded just 27 times, resulting in a commanding +41 goal difference.
Their most recent outing—a commanding 4-0 victory over Antalyaspor before the international break—further highlighted their offensive firepower and defensive resilience.
Correct score prediction: Beskitas vs Galatasaray
Currently sitting fourth in the table with 44 points, Beşiktaş have been formidable at home, winning 14 of their last 32 meetings against Galatasaray, who have secured seven victories, with 11 matches ending in draws.
However, Galatasaray have dominated recent encounters, winning four of their last six meetings, including a league double last season with a 2-1 victory at home and a 1-0 win away. Their first showdown this season ended in a hard-fought 2-2 draw.
Sunday’s clash features two in-form sides, with Beşiktaş unbeaten in nine of their last 11 matches, while Galatasaray remain undefeated in all 27 of their Süper Lig games this season.
Prediction: Beskitas 1: 2 Galatasaray
Osimhen in scintillating form as Galatasaray gear up for Beşiktaş showdown
Victor Osimhen heads into Sunday’s highly anticipated clash against Beşiktaş in red-hot form, having been unstoppable for both club and country.
Since joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli in September, the prolific striker has netted an impressive 26 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions, including 20 in 22 Süper Lig matches.
His latest masterclass came in Galatasaray’s dominant 4-0 victory over Antalyaspor before the international break, where he bagged a stunning hat-trick.
Osimhen carried that momentum into international duty with Nigeria, scoring all three of the Super Eagles' goals in their two World Cup qualifiers—netting a brace in a 2-0 win over Rwanda before finding the back of the net in a 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe.
With his lethal finishing and relentless work rate, Osimhen will be Galatasaray’s key weapon as they seek to secure a crucial win over their fierce Istanbul rivals at the Tüpraş Stadium.
