Galatasaray
The team has been pleasantly transformed under Okane Buruke. In Istanbul, they returned their former prominent football player and already quite experienced and successful coach to get out of the record hole. And he immediately returned the blood-and-gold team to the championship line, and kept the first place in 2023/2024, despite the stubborn resistance of Fenerbahce. But, it seems, they relaxed in the summer after that, as a result, Young Boys lost both the Super Cup (and they were 0:5 with Besiktas) and both qualifying matches of the Champions League. It was only after this that they made a mega-transfer of Osymkhen, a striker who was wanted by many giants, but in the Super League, the winner of the last two cycles did not initially allow misfires. Last Saturday there was also a serious test – a derby with Fenerbahce. And it was played brilliantly: the derby against an inveterate enemy and potential competitor brought victory, and a confident one, 3:1.

PAOK
Last season, the club was unable to win the championship title. And the owner, Ivan Savvydy, clearly does not intend to give the palm of the championship in Greek football to someone. Having bought Kendzera’s contract, he invited Tissaudali from Gent, Shortyre, Chalov, Cabesas, Jonathan Gomez, Kolla, Tamoue Bakayoko and Lovren to Thessaloniki. At the same time, only Borac from Banja Luka passed the qualification of the Champions League for Razvan Lucescu’s team, then they were eliminated from Malmo. After that, the two-headed eagles of the Sever began to beat everyone in a row, and Shamrock Rovers in the qualification of the Europa League, and in the national championship. And Volos was completely defeated with a score of 4:1.
Statistics of personal meetings
Although these are representatives of neighboring countries (and cities with a short distance between them), the Greeks and Turks have never played with each other before.
Forecast
Bookmakers understand how important the factor of their field is in this pair. The Turks are good, and you can bet on the fact that they will be able to win with a handicap of -1 goal (coefficient – 1.9).
