Match Details
* Competition: Super Lig * Date: 17 September 2024 * Venue: Nef Stadyumu * Kick-off: 19:00 CEST
Preview
The Turkish Super Lig season kicks off on September 12, and one of the most highly anticipated matches of the opening weekend will see Galatasaray host Gaziantep at the Nef Stadyumu. Galatasaray will be looking to build on last season's impressive third-place finish, while Gaziantep will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their disappointing 13th-place finish. Both teams have made significant changes to their squads over the summer, so it will be interesting to see how they perform in the new season.
Galatasaray
Galatasaray have strengthened their squad with the signings of several experienced players, including Haris Seferovic, Lucas Torreira, and Dries Mertens. They have also brought in a new manager, Okan Buruk, who has a good track record of success in Turkish football. Galatasaray will be confident of challenging for the title this season. They have a strong squad and a new manager who knows how to win.
Gaziantep
Gaziantep have also made a number of changes to their squad, but they have not been as ambitious as Galatasaray. Their most notable signings are Yusuf Demir and Alexandru Maxim. Gaziantep will be hoping to improve on last season's disappointing finish. They have a new manager, Erol Bulut, who has a good reputation in Turkish football. However, they will need to make a number of improvements if they want to challenge for a top-half finish.
Prediction
Galatasaray will be the favorites to win this match. They have a stronger squad and a more experienced manager. However, Gaziantep will be no pushovers. They have a number of talented players and a new manager who knows how to get the best out of his team. I predict that Galatasaray will win this match 2-1.
