Galatasaray preview: Looking to maintain their perfect record
Mauro Icardi is the only injury concern for the reigning champions ahead of this weekend's encounter. The former Paris Saint-Germain forward is expected to miss a few weeks with a back injury. On that note, the club will be pleased to see Victor Osimhen settle in quickly, especially after losing star midfielder Kerem Akturkoglu to Benfica earlier this month.
Predicted lineup: Muslera (GK), Jelert, Jelert, Bardakci, Baltaci, Ayhan, Demirbay, Torreira, Ziyech, Mertens, Yilmaz & Osimhen.

Player to watch: Victor Osimhen
With the absence of last season's top scorer Mauro Icardi, Victor Osimhen is set to make his debut for Galatasaray this weekend. The reigning African Footballer of the Year had over 50 direct goal involvements in his last two seasons with Napoli. It will be interesting to see how he performs in his first game for Galatasaray.
