Sure, Galatasaray got the three points on 4 January, but the three points did not come easily, as coach Buruk’s players had to work extra hard for their 2-1 win.
Goztepe team news and form: Fans are fuming
Coach Stoilov had some explaining to do last week when his team got thrashed via a 6-3 score at Caykur Didi Stadumu. Maybe it was Dogan Erdogan’s injury that prevented Goztepe from winning the battle at the centre of the pitch. He will not play this week either, which is another solid boost for our top Goztepe vs Galatasaray predictions.
Predicted lineup: Ozcimen (GK), Gunter, Heliton, Bokele, Bayrak, Ildiz, Dennis, Nielsen, Tijanic, Cardoso & Kanatsizkus

Galatasaray team news and form: Youngster’s time to shine
Team captain Fernando Muslera saw another yellow card in Galatasaray’s previous match and will not skip the game against Goztepe. However, this is a can’t-miss chance for 20-year-old Jankat Yilmaz who has to perform at a very high level if he wants to impress his manager.
Predicted lineup: Yilmaz (GK), Sallai, Sanchez, Bardakci, Elmali, Torreira, Lemina, Yilmaz, Sara, Akgun & Osimhen

Player to watch: Victor Osimhen
Manchester United-linked Victor Osimhen performed at his lethal best this season for Galatasaray. He was a starter for his club in the match against Kayserispor, where he even managed to score a 26th-minute opener.
Osimhen likely to win Top Goalscorer
With 25 goals under his belt, it’s fair to consider the Nigerian striker as a certain winner of the Top Goalscorer Award in the Super Lig. We doubt Istanbul Basaksehir’s Krzysztof Piatek will be able to score more than four goals in his next game.
