Galatasaray vs Istanbul Basaksehir prediction 30.05.2025 | Super Lig

• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: Friday, 30th May, 2025
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
• Venue: Rams Park (Istanbul)

On Friday evening, Galatasaray and Istanbul Basaksehir, which have nothing to play for, will face off in the last round of the Super Lig at Rams Park in Istanbul.

Galatasaray invested a lot of money in recent seasons, adding high-profile players from the best European teams. Including this year, they won three Super Lig titles in a row, along with a Cup this season; however, once again, they fell short in European competitions. Given the quality of their squad, it's debatable whether winning the domestic double is enough to call the season a success. Throughout the year, they and Fenerbahce went toe-to-toe, but Galata had a fantastic end of the season, winning seven in a row and leaving their arch-rival 11 points behind.

Istanbul Basaksehir finished fourth (twice) and fifth in the last three seasons. This year, they are once again around their usual placement. Regardless of the result in the last round, they will finish fifth. If they had a bit better home record, they could have played in the EL next season. Still, overall, we believe they can be satisfied with how this season went.

Galatasaray vs Istanbul Basaksehir pick: Over 3.5 goals

Galatasaray are in superb form. If we include the Cup games, Galata won ten in a row while scoring 30 goals - 3.0 per game! Now, in the last game of the season, without pressure in front of their crowd, we expect another excellent offensive performance from the champs.

Lately, Istanbul Basaksehir have been absolutely fantastic for an over 3.5 goals bet as their last five matches finished with four or more goals with an incredible average of 5.2 goals per game.

This season, these teams met twice. Galata won 2:1 in the league and was a draw (2:2) in the Cup. Considering all the above, we expect another high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
