Galatasaray - Besiktas Istanbul: Form Analysis
Galatasaray have made an incredible start to the 2024-25 season and notched up their eighth league win in nine games by beating Antalyaspor 3-0 on the road last weekend.
Thereafter, Cimbom came out as 4-3 victors in a seven-goal thriller against Elfsborg in midweek in the Europa League, extending their current win streak to three, while they are unbeaten in 10.
At home this season, the hosts have played six games across all competitions and won five!
The only blemish on Gala's home record this term was a 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa at the end of last month.
Meanwhile, Besiktas have been in solid form during the early-season, currently trailing the leaders by five points though they do have a game in hand on most of the sides around them.
The Black Eagles also won their Europa League contest against Lyon on Thursday, extending their unbeaten run to three games, while they are also yet to lose a game in the Super Lig.
The visitors have taken eight points from a possible 12 on the road this season but have lost their last three visits to this venue by a 2-1 scoreline.

Galatasaray & Besiktas Istanbul Squad Analysis
Napoli-owned Victor Osimhen returned to the starting lineup for Galatasaray in midweek for the first time since sustaining a thigh muscle strain against Kasimpasa last month.
The Nigerian failed to get on the scoresheet for Cimbom, though he did get through 86 minutes and will likely make the starting 11 again this week alongside Mauro Icardi.
Icardi has now scored five goals in his last six matches across all competitions for Galatasaray!
Ismail Jakobs and Baris Yilmaz are flagged as doubts owing to a knee and thigh injury respectively.
For Besiktas, first-choice goalkeeper Mert Gunok remains sidelined after sustaining a shoulder injury last week, meaning Ersin Destanoglu should continue between the sticks for the visitors.
The only other confirmed absentee for the Black Eagles is Necip Uysal, who is out until next month with a ligament injury, while Gabriel Paulista is a minor doubt due to a strained thigh muscle.
