Galatasaray delivered a dominant attacking performance last week with 38 shots and 13 on target against Corum, creating eight clear goal chances. As they prepare to face a comparatively weaker Erzurumspor side, analysts forecast Galatasaray to score in both halves. The recommendation is based on their recent offensive strength and the inferior opposition, suggesting a confident outlook for Galatasaray fans and bettors.

Galatasaray created eight goal opportunities in last week’s 2-2 draw against Corum. I expect their strikers to be more focused and net multiple goals against recently promoted Erzurumspor. 

Key Stats  


  • Erzurumspor lost 3-0 to Amdespor last weekend. 
  • Galatasaray have won their last 2 matches against Erzurumspor. 

Four Previous Meetings 


Galatasaray defeated Erzurumspor in three of their four head to head matches, one clash ending without a winner. 

Erzurumspor Had a Rough Start 


After a seven-year absence, Erzurumspor were once again promoted to the Turkish Super Lig last season, dominating the tier two division with 81 points after 38 rounds, finishing seven points ahead of Amedspor. 

Rock-solid defending was their strongest link, allowing just 27 goals, while scoring more than two per encounter on average. Eren Tozlu was the top contributor with 20 goals and six assists. 

In the opening round last week, Erzurumspor were smashed by also recently promoted Amedspor 3-0, posting just 0.24 expected goals and registering one shot on target. 

Cimbom Unlucky in the Opening Round 


Galatasaray were tagged massive favorites in the Super Lig opening round against recently promoted Corum but were held to a 2-2 draw. 

Victor Osimhen broke the deadlock on Lucas Torreira’s assist in the 53rd minute, but then they conceded two quick goals, Osimhen saving the day with his second goal in stoppage time. Cimbom had 2.90-0.61 xG, 65% possession and 13-3 shots on target. 

Okan Buruk’s side have successfully defended the Super Lig title last season, finishing three points ahead of Fenerbahce, while exiting the Turkish Cup in the quarterfinals after losing to Genclerbirligi. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Erzurumspor (4-1-4-1) Matija Orbanic; Orhan Ovacikli, Nihad Mujakic, Amar Gerxhaliu, Festy Ebosele; Brandon Baiye; Gyrano Kerk, Sefa Akgun, Mustafa Fettahoglu, Martin Rodriguez; Eren Tozlu

Enes Yigit is not available here, serving a one-game suspension.

Galatasaray (4-2-3-1) Ugurcan Cakir; Wilfried Singo, Davinson Sanchez, Abdulkerim Bardakci, Ismail Jakobs; Ilkay Gundogan, Gabriel Sara; Leroy Sane, Yunus Akgun, Baris Alper Yilmaz; Victor Osimhen

Reserve goalkeeper Gunay Guvenc is recovering from a muscle injury. He is the only injury concern for Okan Buruk.

Verdict

Galatasaray had 38 shots (13 on target) and eight goal chances last week against Corum. Now they are facing a weaker side Erzurumspor and I like their chances of scoring in both halves.
