Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[Ahli38]

I believe the Barcelona match is the one that truly matters for Galatasaray.

I think this match is more important than Barcelona game. 3 points against Kasımpaşa worth more, Galatasaray have no chance against Barca anyway. Even if a miracle happens and they get point against Barca, do you think they prefer that over a point loss against Kasımpaşa? They've already lost the lead, they can't afford to lose any more points. I don't expect much rotation. The focus should be on this game. One game at a time, big clubs would do that.

I agree with you; more attention should be given to their game against Kasimpasa because I doubt if this current Barcelona squad would give them that opportunity to win that game, though that shouldn't stop them from getting well prepared for their match against Barcelona, but attention should be given to where it matters, which is picking up the 3 points and getting their morale boosted to go face Barcelona.

I'm not sure Galatasaray will give it their all in this upcoming match. Perhaps Galatasaray will rotate their lineup extensively so that their key players remain in top form when they face Barcelona later in the Champions League. And because of that they likely won’t apply too much pressure. I predict that this upcoming match will likely end in a draw with both teams splitting the points. But the worst-case scenario could happen to Galatasaray by considering that last season they were defeated by Kasimpasa in their last meeting. So I personally think that a double chance bet by choosing either a draw or a Kasimpasa win might very well come true as Galatasaray will likely be focusing on their squad lineup for the match against Barcelona. And I don’t think they’ll be fully focused for the time being when facing Kasimpasa.

There are just a few minutes left until Galatasaray's match against Kasımpaşa begins. I came across an interesting statistic: Galatasaray has won only once against Kasımpaşa in its last four matches:



Galatasaray will play this match without Osimhen as well. Considering this statistic, we can say that Galatasaray faces a tough challenge. Barış Alper Yılmaz is playing right back, and Deniz Gül is playing up front.

[Yabani]

Kerem Demirbay has received a yellow card. This means that, in a worst-case scenario, he could pick up a second yellow card in the second half and be sent off.
His comments earlier in the week had drawn criticism. I hope Emre Belözoğlu notices this situation and substitutes him in the second half. I hope I am wrong.

[xzone]

Osimhen most likely won't play today; club doctor Yener İnce stated recently that they do not want to risk either Sallai or Osimhen.
Osimhen's injury has been prolonged, but the international break turned out to be a great stroke of luck for Galatasaray.
Even though Galatasaray is playing at home today, the fact that Kasımpaşa remains unbeaten in the league suggests this will be a tough match for Galatasaray.
Given the current climate of negativity surrounding referees, I am curious to see what kind of performance today's referee, Halil Umut Meler, will deliver.

Galatasaray is currently playing quite comfortably. Kasımpaşa is almost invisible in the game, unable to attack or win possession. Galatasaray is doing very well; they've only scored one goal so far, but I think that will change in the second half. I believe they will score at least two more goals and win the match 3-0. They are having a slight problem scoring goals, but they managed to find the net through Abdülkerim Bardakçı.
Kasımpaşa doesn't have much of a chance; I didn't think they would get any points from this match anyway

Probably with the total shots Galatasaray has been able to shot in the first half of the game and having 6 shots on target and attach with the ball possession Galatasaray club is has in the first half, it means that Kasimpasa club is really going through hell because Galatasaray is dominanting in every thing in this  match, although Galatasaray is winning Kasimpasa by 1:0, and if we should analyze this match based on the first results, it is very obvious that Galatasaray might win more 1 goal, so will should not conclude yet because there is second half game to be played.

Galatasaray has hard luck in this game if not they would have scored up to 3 goals before halftime. The ball possession currently is 70:30 in favour of Galatasaray, they should try and score an additional goal so that they don't get disappointed if Kasimpasa scores. 1 goal lead is not a winning result since an equalizer can happen even at injury time. Galatasaray performance is not bad, it's not always easy for big teams to win their matches after international break. I just hope that they will hold the one goal till full time if they know that they can't score more goals.

Galatasaray has won two out of their previous five matches, with two draw and one loss. Galatasaray against Kasimpasa always involves a lot of goals, but Kasimpasa won the last game by scoring one goal. Kasimpasa performance this season isn’t that bad, they are currently 8 in the table. Galatasaray is currently winning by one goal from Bardakci in the first half. Galatasaray is trying their best to add another goal to secure the three points at home.

Kerem Demirbay has received a yellow card. This means that, in a worst-case scenario, he could pick up a second yellow card in the second half and be sent off.

Deminary received a yellow card in the first half, and the ref is yet to remove him. Other three players have also received a yellow card, but the ref has substituted Ali Kol whose performance has been very performance has been very poor in this game.

Edit: Terreira from Galatasaray has received a straight red card, and this is an opportunity for Kasimpa to win the match against 10 men.

I was already scared for Galatasaray when they picked 2 yellow cards in the first half and I was like they won't escape a red card in the second half and I was right when Terreira received a straight red card and shortly after, Kasimpasa leveled the score and I thought that Galatasaray has gotten themselves into a big problem. I was basically surprised when Galatasaray took the lead again at exactly 90 minutes before the stoppage time goal that sealed the win for them and the match ended 3:1. I commend Galatasaray for not being threatened by the red card because on a normal day there wouldn't have been any hopes for them to win the match.

[Callido]

I don’t think Galatasaray actually face that much competition this season, Fenerbahce have had a slightly worse start to the campaign, although they aren’t that far behind Galatasaray. Besiktas are a little closer, but I still think Galatasaray remain the favourites to win the title this season.

By the way Osimhen might not play today’s match. I was also surprised by Galatasaray’s recent defeat to Trabzonspor. Kasimpasa, by the way have been on a very long unbeaten run, but I think Galatasaray are capable of bringing that run to an end today.

If they can keep today's performance, the win was good, 3-1 win against a mid-table team, a team that seriously wants to win the league is not supposed to lose against average teams on the table, they got the winning goals late, but it worked for them.

Favorites still, but i don't see them for their consistency, when they start playing more games, we will know more about what they can achieve.

[kizilhare]

Galatasaray won the match 3–1, despite finishing with ten men.
Torreira received a red card after a long time; it was likely his first red card in four years.
The referee initially issued a yellow card for the incident but, following a VAR recommendation, rescinded it and issued a red card instead.
Kasımpaşa scored three minutes after that goal, but Barış Alper made it 2–1 for Galatasaray in the 90th minute. Lemina then made the score 3–1 in the 90+6th minute.
This victory provided a morale boost for Galatasaray ahead of their match against Barcelona.
The standout performer of the day was Kasımpaşa goalkeeper Gianniotis; although he conceded three goals, he made numerous saves to deny other scoring opportunities.
Kasımpaşa suffered their first defeat of the season in the league's seventh week.

I give it to Galatasaray for their resilience even when a red card almost ruined their chances of winning the match but they were so determined to keep moving. I think this victory is just to keep their title hopes alive, not a morale booster against Barcelona because we know that Galatasaray cannot challenge Barcelona. Kasimpasa goalie made some good saves that save the team from conceding many goal. One thing that Galatasaray players needs to avoid is being too aggressive so that it doesn't affect their gameplay when they get a red card.

What difference does a morale boost make? Galatasaray’s opponent is going to be Barcelona. Galatasaray barely managed to beat Kasımpaşa today is that supposed to be a morale booster? Are they going to take the confidence gained from beating Kasımpaşa and topple Barcelona? It’s a joke even with a decent squad, the best Galatasaray can hope for is to avoid getting thrashed by Barcelona.

[nelson4lov]

It felt good to see that Galatasaray won their game. Even though I didn't bet on it and only saw few minutes of the game, I enjoyed it. Galatasaray needs to prove that even if Oshimen is on the sidelines due to injury, they can deliver a decent result. Today's win put them back in first position in the league.

[LGD2Business]

This is the first red card Torreira has received since he arrived. He had gone without receiving a red card in many previous matches when he clearly should have been sent off, which had sparked controversy. Is it a coincidence that this happened now, while the MHK president and some referees are in custody? The timing is very odd.
By the way the red card wasn't shown immediately, HUM gave a yellow card first, it was upgraded to a red card after the Portuguese VAR official intervened. It was a clear red card because of last man situation. Why couldn't HUM issue a red card immediately and instead showed a yellow? It seems like these controversies will never end. The solution is to continue the league with foreign referees.

[Balmain]

Galatasaray secured a crucial three points with goals scored in the dying minutes. Kasımpaşa made a costly error while pushing forward in attack; a single point would have sufficed, so why launch such an unprepared attack. Galatasaray capitalized on the mistake, scoring two quick goals to finish the match 3–1. Now, the Barcelona match is next if only it weren't. Given that they barely managed to beat Kasımpaşa, how will Galatasaray fare against Barcelona

It was strange that Torreira was initially shown a yellow card, which was later changed to a red card following a VAR review.

I, too, expect a decisive Barcelona victory, but Galatasaray plays with a different level of motivation in the Champions League.
Dropping points in the Kasımpaşa match would have caused a dip in morale; the team would have been negatively affected had they dropped points there following the loss to Trabzonspor.
Now, they will put up a better fight against Barcelona, ​​even if only slightly.
Raphinha will be missing for Barcelona, ​​which is a positive factor for Galatasaray. While many—myself included—expect a big win for Barcelona, ​​Galatasaray might just prove us wrong.

Galatasaray won the match in which they had the upper hand. Many Fenerbahçe fans, myself included, were disappointed by this outcome, but Galatasaray secured the three points this week.
Kasımpaşa sought goals through counter-attacks against an opponent playing a man down. Each substitution caused Kasımpaşa to drop back into a defensive stance.
Consequently, Galatasaray applied pressure on Kasımpaşa.
As for the goal, the ball fell to Jakobs after Kasımpaşa lost possession while attempting to launch an attack; three Kasımpaşa players failed to clear his cross. The ball landed at the feet of Barış Alper, who capped off his excellent performance with a goal.
Galatasaray claimed the three points and moved to the top of the standings.

Despite the red card, Galatasaray won 3-1. I gave up when Torreira committed that foul to stop the other team's player from taking the ball for a goal. I knew it was going to be a red card, not a yellow. Well, Galatasaray were the better team even with the red card. Also, I'm very delighted to see Victor Osimhen coming off the bench after a short injury break to give an assist for the 3rd goal. When he came on the game, it was as if two players came in. Fans forgot that Galatasaray was on a red card. Wonderful player Victor Osimhen is.

Galatasaray almost left me in a state of panic when they got the red card and shortly after Kasimpasa equalized 1:1 in the second half. I know Osimehn will be back to the team but I was expecting him to start the game and he didn’t start and then the coach brought him on in the 77th minute when they were already drawing 1:1 with a player down for red card offense. I think the game changed when the coach brought Osimehn and sane and they both help to restore the team lead and Osimehn providing the assist for the last goal to seal the win for Galatasaray .

Victor osimhen has once again proven his quality in his team with the performance he put up immediately he got into the game. I'm glad that Osimhen was able to recover within the short international break and now back to action. Galatasaray has taken back the first place with that performance and I doubt Amedspor will beat Gençlerbirliği today to secure the top. The league will gradually regain shape after this weekend. Galatasaray has a crucial match coming up by Tuesday against Barcelona at home. With the absence of Raphinha in the Barcelona squad and Osimhen now back to fitness, it's going to be a well contested game that would perhaps be in Galatasaray favour. After a long-short international break, we're back to seeing the real wonders of the game, the club competition.
