Galatasaray failed the previous season in domestic league, finishing only sixth with 51 points and 69-49 overall goal difference. On the other hand, the team added Turkish Cup to their trophy cabinet. To avoid last season failure, Galatasaray strengthened the squad with Serdar Aziz, Eren Derdiyok, Tolga Cigeci and Luis Cavanda. Considering team’s performance in the Turkish Supercup against Besiktas, Galatasaray learned their lesson. That match gained the club their first trophy of the season. Galatasaray played well at own stadium last season, suffering only one defeat in entire season.

Kardemir Karabuk earned the right to play in top division after finishing first in the second Turkish division with 62 points and 41-27 overall goal difference. The team was unbeaten in their last six matches of the previous season and exactly this run gained them the place in top league.
Galatasaray won four of their last five head-to-heads with Kardemir Karabuk. The hosts are lucky to start the season in match at own stadium with recently promoted side. We should expect nothing but a victory of the hosts, who need to prove their worth after last season.
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to win.
