Live: Samsunspor v Galatasaray – Can Victor Osimhen become Super Lig champion again?

Published on by

Galatasaray trade tackles with Samsunspor at the Canik 19 May Stadium in Samsun tonight with a win guaranteed to seal a 26th Super Lig title for the champions, Afrik-Foot reports.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will be the centre of attention as he looks to claim the third league title of his career.

The former Scudetto winner was a key member of the Galatasaray squad that won a historic league title last year. A repeat is on the cards here in Samsun.

Galatasaray boast 74 points from 31 games, having claimed 23 wins, five draws and only three losses. That haul hands Okan Buruk’s men a healthy seven-point lead over second-placed Fenerbahçe while Trabzonspor are a further two points behind in third.

The Lions have been dominant again this season on the domestic scene despite their extra exertions in the UEFA Champions League, where they reached the knockout rounds for the first time in a decade.

Their superiority will further be confirmed today, as they can still lift the trophy even with a loss to Samsunspor, should Fenerbahçe fail to beat Istanbul Basaksehir.

However, against a Samsunspor side that have nothing to fight for again this season, Osimhen-inspired Galatasaray are expected to encounter little trouble.
