Today marks the second week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, and there is another Galatasaray match. Galatasaray is heading to Erzurum for an away game. Erzurumspor, coming off a defeat last week, will host Galatasaray on their home turf. Although Galatasaray dropped two points last week, I believe they will easily defeat Erzurumspor today.
Galatasaray is very lucky in one respect: they are visiting Erzurum while the weather is still good. An away game in Erzurum during December or January is like dancing on ice; Galatasaray has managed to avoid that scenario.
I also don't think Galatasaray will drop points in the first two matches of the new season. In the first match, it was a fluke, in the second match, I hope they can play much better and win. But I'm still a little worried, because Galatasaray's last five matches were winless. Most of those matches were friendlies, but it's still concerning, as their opponents weren't particularly strong.
How did Galatasaray drop points by sheer luck? You probably didn't watch the match; Çorum FK played better football, but being reduced to 10 men really hurt them.
Galatasaray will beat Erzurumspor today. I say this not because of Galatasaray, but because Erzurumspor is very poor and their squad quality is well below Süper Lig standards.
Erzurumspor didn't make any great signings, either.
After Eyüpspor, Erzurumspor will be the second team to be relegated from this league. Their squad is very weak.
