Istanbul Basaksehir vs Galatasaray Preview

Galatasaray hosted Basaksehir during mid-week in the Turkish Cup where Owls got away with a well-deserved 2-2 draw. Hosts are unbeaten in Istanbul since early October, so I see good value in backing them with a double chance.

Istanbul Basaksehir Form

Istanbul Basaksehir are entering this match as 7th placed team in the Super Lig, collecting 26 points in 17 matches.

After losing to Fenerbahce 3-1 in mid-December, the Owls were held to a 2-2 home draw against Kasimpasa, Krzysztof Piatek scoring a brace.

Their winless run has ended in the 2025 premiere, beating last-placed Adana Demirspor 1-0 last weekend, Davidson scoring the only goal in the first half.

Cagdas Atan’s side beat Heidenheim 3-1 and drawn against Cercle Brugge 1-1 in December in the Conference League, which was not enough to secure the playoffs.

Patryk Szysz, Leo Duarte and Serdar Gurler are injured.

Berat Ozdemir and Miguel Crespo are suspended.

Striker Krzysztof Piatek is having an amazing season so far, scoring 22 goals across competitions.

Galatasaray Form

Galatasaray once again look untouchable in the Super Lig, claiming 47 out of possible 51 points in 17 rounds so far and sit lonely at top of the table.

They wrapped up the previous year with back to back league victories against Trabzonspor 4-3 and Kayserispor 5-1, Victor Osimhen, Yunus Akgun and Bar Alper Yilmaz scoring two goals each in these encounters.

Cimbom started 2025 with a 2-1 home win against Goztepe (Osimhen and Akgun on target), but their winning run has ended with a 2-2 mid-week draw against Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Cup.

Galatasaray Injuries & Team News

Mauro Icardi has suffered a cruciate ligament injury and won’t be back until next season.

Victor Osimhen has stepped up and scored 13 goals across competitions for Galatasaray.

Verdict

Istanbul Basaksehir v Galatasaray

Istanbul Basaksehir haven’t lost at home for more than three months. Galatasaray have won just three of their last seven road encounters, so I see value in backing the Owls to claim at least one point on Sunday.
