Galatasaray meet Basaksehir in the Turkish Cup
Galatasaray will get their Turkish Cup group-stage campaign underway at Rams Park against Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday. Both teams were eliminated from the quarterfinals of the competition last season and will look to improve upon that record.
Cimbom extended their unbeaten streak across all competitions to 21 games last week with a 2-1 home win over Goztepe in the Turkish Super Lig. Victor Osimhen broke the deadlock in the 10th minute from the penalty spot and Yunus Akgün restored their lead in the second half, with Dries Mertens providing the assist.
Basaksehir got 2025 underway with a 1-0 away win over Adana Demirspor in the Turkish Super Lig, returning to winning ways after three games. They also kept their first clean sheet in five games in that win.
