Galatasaray will host Eyupspor at the Rams Park Stadyumu on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The home side have endured yet another brilliant start to their season and remain atop the league table with 34 points from an obtainable 36 as they continue their push for consecutive Super Lig titles.
They picked up a narrow but thoroughly deserved 1-0 win over newly-promoted Bodrum in their last match, with Michy Batshuayi scoring the sole goal of the game early in the second half before playing out a 1-1 against AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
Eyupspor have exceeded expectations in their debut Super Lig season and are well on course to avoid the drop. They were beaten 2-1 by Rizespor in their last match, taking the lead in the first half via an Ahmed Kutucu stunner before their opponents turned the game on its head in the second.
The visitors sit fourth in the table with 22 points picked up so far and will be looking to bounce back here.
