Galatasaray vs Fenerbahçe Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Only six points separate the two sides on the points table.

Matchday 24 of Süper Lig will take us to the RAMS Park, where Galatasaray will host their rivals Fenerbahçe in an unmissable encounter. The Intercontinental Derby is one of the biggest fixtures in football, featuring two of the most successful Turkish clubs going head to head. The hosts are currently leading the league with 63 points from 23 games. They are undefeated in the ongoing league campaign with 20 wins and three draws.

Fenerbahçe, on the other hand, are right behind the leaders. They are currently sitting in second place with 57 points. José Mourinho’s men have registered 18 wins, three draws, and two losses in their opening 23 matches. With a win over their bitter rivals, they have an opportunity to reduce the points difference to just three points. However, visiting RAMS Park is very challenging for any team.

Players to watch out for:

Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)

The Nigerian striker has taken the Süper Lig by storm ever since he arrived from Napoli. He has scored 14 goals already in the league campaign and is currently the top goalscorer for the team. Osimhen is one of the most explosive strikers in Europe and his aerial superiority makes him very effective in front of goal.

Edin Dzeko (Fenerbahçe)

Dzeko is still performing at a very high level despite being 38 years old. His positioning and reading of the game make him a nightmare for his opponents. He is currently on 12 goals in the league campaign and will look to add some more to his tally against Galatasaray. Jose Mourinho will give him the responsibility of leading the line against a very difficult opponent.
