Galatasaray v Fenerbahce betting tips and predictions

Galatasaray to win - 13/10

Galatasaray saw their UEFA Europa League dreams shattered by AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, but they can respond to that disappointment by strengthening their hold on top spot with a win over closest challengers Fenerbahce on Monday.

Gala have been almost perfect in their domestic league with 20 wins and no defeats after 23 games.

Fenerbahce have pushed their Istanbul rivals all the way this season and have picked up an impressive 57 points from their own 23 games, winning 18, but they may come unstuck at the Ali Sami Yen.

The rivalry between these two Turkish giants is one of the fiercest in world football, but it has been a little one-sided of late.

Gala have four wins in the last six meetings across all competitions, with one defeat, while they won the reverse fixture 3-1 earlier in the season.

The hosts have won 10 of their 12 home games in the Super Lig and have scored a hefty 31 goals.

Fener should keep this game close as they’ve only lost once on their travels all season, but the hosts can make the most of home advantage and pick up three points that would push them a step closer to a third successive league title.

Galatasaray to win and over 3.5 goals - 15/4

If you’re looking for a big price option for backing Galatasaray, a home win and over 3.5 total goals stands out.

Over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in eight of Gala’s last 10 home games across all competitions and they’ve also conceded in eight of those 10 games.

Fener have the best attacking record away from home in the division with 32 goals scored in just 12 games.

That suggests both teams should be able to contribute in this fixture and Turkey’s two strongest attacks should be able to combine for at least four goals.

On the same theme, a Gala win with both teams to score is priced at 13/5 and a standard bet of just over 3.5 goals is 1/1.

Victor Osimhen first player to score - 7/2

Victor Osimhen is enjoying an incredible season with Galatasaray after joining on loan from Napoli over the summer.

The Nigerian has scored 14 goals in 18 Super Lig games and has goals in his last two games across all competitions.

Osimhen looks like good value at 20/21 to score at any time, but it could be worth backing the 26-year-old to hit the game’s opener at 7/2, as he has been the first goalscorer in two of his last four games in this competition.
