Victor Osimhen will lead the charge for table-topping Galatasaray as they welcome wobbling Sivasspor to Rams Park on Saturday in a crucial Super Lig encounter.
With the Super Eagles forward in blistering form and the Lions sitting on 80 points, the hosts will be keen to extend their dominance against a struggling Sivasspor side rooted in 15th place.
Galatasaray will approach Saturday's clash on the back of a commanding 5-1 away victory over Eyüpspor last Sunday, a result that solidified their five-point cushion at the summit of the Super Lig ahead of arch-rivals Fenerbahçe.
Sivasspor, meanwhile, will head into the encounter buoyed by a confident 2-0 triumph over Antalyaspor, a result that offers a much-needed boost as they look to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Correct score prediction: Galatasaray vs Sivasspor
The defending champions are riding a wave of momentum, currently unbeaten in their last 15 home league matches—a formidable run that corroborates their fortress status in Istanbul.
Galatasaray also hold a psychological edge, having gone five straight league meetings without defeat against Sivasspor, including wins in their last two home clashes against the visitors.
Osimhen, who has been instrumental since his loan switch, will be keen to exploit a Sivasspor defence that has struggled for consistency, conceding in five of their last six outings despite netting 12 goals during that same period.
While their attacking threat cannot be overlooked, Sivasspor’s dismal away record—winless in their last 10 league games on the road—leaves them vulnerable against a ruthless Galatasaray side in top gear.
Prediction: Galatasaray 3:1 Sivasspor
Osimhen set to exploit Sivasspor's fragile defence as he chases milestones
Victor Osimhen will be determined to continue his blistering form when Galatasaray host Sivasspor on Saturday, targeting both personal achievements and crucial points for his side.
Since his arrival in Istanbul, the Nigerian striker has been a revelation, scoring 31 goals and registering six assists in 36 appearances across all competitions. His 22 goals and five assists in just 26 Super Lig matches have made him a standout performer.
As the season draws to a close, Osimhen is on the verge of breaking a number of records. Should he score four more goals, he will surpass Enner Valencia's record of 33 goals for Fenerbahçe — the highest by a foreign player in a single Super Lig season.
Even more thrilling for Galatasaray fans is the prospect of Osimhen surpassing his teammate Mauro Icardi’s record of 32 goals from last season with just two more strikes.
With Sivasspor’s vulnerable defence struggling to contain opponents this season, Osimhen has a golden opportunity to etch his name into Turkish football folklore on Saturday.
