- Venue: Rams Park (Istanbul)
The Turkish Super Lig, one of the fastest-growing competitions in Europe, started last weekend. It is not hard to guess that Galatasaray and Fenerbahce should play the largest role in the national league, but other teams have their goals, too. The second round will open with the current champions, Galatasaray, who will host another Istanbul-based club, Karagumruk. Can Okan Buruk's team continue with good form after an impressive first round? Let's find out the best possible betting option for this tie.

Historically, Galatasaray have been dominant against Karagumruk, winning 15 of their 24 head-to-head clashes. The recent trend is even more one-sided, with Galatasaray claiming victory in four of the last six meetings between the two sides.
Galatasaray team overview
Galatasaray won their 25th national league in Turkey last season. They were dominant almost the whole season, and the club from Rams Park surely expects the same in the 2025/26 season, too. After an almost perfect preseason (four wins and one draw), Galatasaray started the new season last week with a 3-0 victory on the road against Gaziantep. The guests ended the match with xG with 2.42, while the home side had only 0.16, so it would be completely unfair if Galatasaray didn't secure an easy win.
Galatasaray are stronger than they were last season. The most important news for the fans this summer is that Victor Osimhen will remain in the club. The player who scored 26 league goals last season this summer signed a permanent deal with the Turkish giant. Galatasaray also signed Leroy Sane on a free transfer from Bayern Munich. Last season, the winger had 11 goals and six assists in 30 Bundesliga matches.

Karagumruk team overview
Karagumruk played the second level of Turkish football last season. They were far from dominant but sneaked through the playoffs and returned to the Super Lig after one year of absence. Karagumruk are among the weakest teams in the competition, and avoiding relegation should be their only goal for the 2025/26 season. Marcel Licka's team didn't impress in the preseason, either, as they won only one of three friendlies. The game against Galatasaray will be the first for Karagumruk in the new season as their match from the first round was postponed.
Karagumruk are probably weaker than last season. The club left Wesley Moraes, who scored 21 goals in the 2023/24 season. Also, Nikola Dovedan, Yigit Efe Demir, and Goktan Gurpuz are not there anymore. The biggest signing this summer is probably Berkay Ozcan, who came from Basaksehir. The other important additions are Ivo Grbic (Sheffield United), Jure Balkovec (Alanyaspor), Enzo Roco (Al-Riyadh), and Tiago Cukur (Roda).

Prediction
Galatasaray, at the moment, is looking too good for most teams in Turkey. They won five of six games this summer. On the other hand, Karagumruk didn't impress in the preseason with only one victory in three matches, and it seems that they will have to look for the points against a weaker opponent. We should expect Galatasaray to win and cover AH -1.5 spread in this match.
4 Reasons why Galatasaray should win and cover AH -1.5 spread
- Galatasaray won five of their last six matches
- Galatasaray scored 18 goals in the previous six games
- Karagumruk won only one preseason match
- Galatasaray won four of the last six H2H games against Karagumruk
