Galatasaray take on the visitors Besiktas in the round 10 match of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Monday, October 28th at Rams Park (Istanbul).
Galatasaray struggled back in 2022, which led them to appoint former player Okan Buruk. He immediately delivered, lifting the team from the lower half of the Süper Lig table to its top. In the following season, they even managed to top a Champions League group with Manchester United and held onto the Turkish league title. To keep Fenerbahçe behind them, they had to accumulate over 100 points. But after the summer break, they hit some rough patches: a 0-5 loss to Beşiktaş in the Super Cup and back-to-back defeats against Young Boys in the Champions League qualifiers, despite the Swiss side's own struggles and subsequent coaching change. After strengthening the squad with Osimhen, Galatasaray won most of their games, including a win on Fenerbahçe's turf. Yet they drew 3-3 with Kasımpaşa and 2-2 with RFŠ, and faced challenges with Elfsborg, ultimately edging out a narrow 4-3 victory.

Beşiktaş aims to reclaim glory. The “Eagles” saw their form decline after a golden double, dropping as low as sixth in the Süper Lig last season. Neither controversial contract terminations with foreign players nor frequent coaching changes helped. However, they salvaged some pride with a Turkish Cup victory. To address the setbacks, they brought in Giovanni van Bronckhorst as head coach and added Ciro Immobile to the squad. Giovanni’s official debut was a resounding 5-0 Super Cup win over Galatasaray, with Immobile on the scoresheet. But they’ve since stumbled in the league, managing only draws with Trabzonspor and Gaziantep. In the Europa League, they overcame Lugano in qualifiers but suffered heavy losses in the main stage, with 0-4 to Ajax and 1-3 at home to Eintracht. They found some success against Lyon, winning by a single goal.
Last season, the “Lions” won both league matches against their Istanbul rivals, although they lost 0-5 in the Super Cup in August. The “Lions” are stronger at home, but their opponent has quality too. A bet on "total over 3.0 goals" could be a good choice for an exciting high-scoring match.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
