Umraniyespor vs Galatasaray prediction
Galatasaray will undoubtedly walk into this fixture as the strong favourites, given their dominance in the league. However, things have changed for the club in recent years, and they've fallen Besiktas, Baseksehir and Fenerbache.
The pre-season signings did not do much to bring optimism to the Galatasaray camp, and many are expecting the club to finish mid-table once again.
Umraniyespor, meanwhile, have their biggest chance of pulling off an upset, given their illustrious visitors' topsy-turvy start. It will be the first official game between the two teams, so Umraniyespor have a lot to play for.
Galatasaray, nonetheless, possess the better squad and have more quality in their ranks to bounce back to winning ways. A narrow win for the visitors is on the cards.
Prediction: Umraniyespor 1-2 Galatasaray
