Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen will once again be the man to watch as Galatasaray take on Trabzonspor this Saturday in a crucial Turkish Süper Lig encounter.
Galatasaray, currently top of the table with 83 points from 32 matches, head to Trabzon aiming to take another big step toward clinching the league title. They are eight points clear of their bitter rivals Fenerbahce and cannot afford to drop points at this stage of the campaign.
Trabzonspor, on the other hand, sit eighth with 46 points. Their hopes of securing a European spot are still alive, but they must start winning games like this if they want to be in the mix.
This match is important for both sides. A win for the home team brings them closer to the European places, while a win for Galatasaray tightens their grip on the title.
Correct score prediction: Trabzonspor vs Galatasaray
Galatasaray have been the most consistent side in Turkey this season. They have lost only once in the league and come into this game on a four-match winning streak.
Trabzonspor are not doing too badly themselves, with three wins and a draw in their last four matches, including a 1-1 draw with Kasimpasa.

Trabzonspor have scored 19 goals in their last 10 matches but have also let in 13, showing vulnerability at the back. Galatasaray are more potent in attack, scoring 30 goals in their last 10 while conceding 10.
It promises to be an entertaining game with goals at both ends, but Galatasaray’s firepower may prove too much.
Prediction: Trabzonspor 1-3 Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen's goals driving Galatasaray towards glory
Victor Osimhen has been a revelation in his first season in Turkey. The Nigerian forward, on loan from Napoli, has quickly become the heartbeat of this Galatasaray side.
His physical presence, sharp movement, and clinical finishing have lifted the Istanbul giants this season. With 24 goals in 27 Süper Lig appearances and five assists, Osimhen has been involved in over 40 percent of Galatasaray’s league goals.
Across all competitions – the league, Turkish Cup, and Europa League – he has netted 33 times.
As Galatasaray head to Trabzon, they will once again look to their number nine to lead the charge. If he hits his usual stride, they will be no hiding place for Trabzonspor.
