Galatasaray will welcome Besiktas to the Rams Park in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday. The hosts have a 100% record in the league and are at the top of the standings. The Black Eagles have won four of their six games and trail the league leaders by nine points.
Aslan met Alanyaspor in their previous league outing last week and recorded a narrow 1-0 away win. Mauro Icardi scored the match-winner in the 23rd minute. They made it three wins in a row on Tuesday, as they defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League. Victor Osimhen scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot in the 16th minute.
The visitors extended their winning streak to two games last week with a 3-1 home triumph over Kocaelispor. Rafa Silva and Václav Černý scored in quick succession in the first half, while Oleksandr Syrota's own goal in stoppage time helped them get on the scoresheet for the third time.
