Galatasaray will host Bodrum at the Rams Park Stadyumu on Friday in another round of the 2024-25 Super Lig campaign. The home side have been firmly in the driving seat in the title race for much of the season but can afford no slip-ups as they sit just three points above rivals Fenerbahce in second place heading into the final five games of the campaign.
They picked up a largely comfortable 2-0 win away at Samsunspor last time out, with Yunus Akgun opening the scoring in the first half before star striker Victor Osimhen doubled Cimbom's advantage early in the second to continue his rich goalscoring form.
Bodrum endured a difficult first half to their debut Super Lig campaign but have picked up crucial points over the past two months and have clawed their way out of the drop zone. They played out a goalless draw against Antalyaspor in their last match and will likely be disappointed with their performance on the day, but thankful for the point.

The visitors sit 14th in the table with 34 points and have a tough test against the champions this weekend in their bid for safety.
