The Turkish Super Lig title race could take a decisive twist when Galatasaray welcome bitter rivals and closest title challengers Fenerbahce to Rams Park on Monday night to wrap up round 25.
Galatasaray secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Rizespor in their previous outing. Despite securing the three points, their display left much to be desired, with a late goal masking what was otherwise an underwhelming performance. Their superior quality ultimately proved decisive, but familiar defensive frailties were exposed yet again during a midweek Europa League stalemate with Alkmaar. Frustrations among fans continue to mount, with calls growing louder for manager Okan Buruk to step down.
Holding a six-point lead over Fenerbahce in the standings, Gala don’t necessarily need a victory in this clash. However, if Buruk opts for a cautious game plan and drops too deep to absorb pressure, it could further strain his already fragile relationship with the supporters.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahce cruised to a 3-1 triumph over Kasimpasa in their latest league fixture. It was a textbook José Mourinho performance—efficient, measured, and defined by ruthless finishing rather than relentless attacking play. Unlike their rivals, Fenerbahce also progressed in the Europa League, seeing off Anderlecht to advance.
Despite needing a win to close the gap at the top, Mourinho is unlikely to deploy an overly aggressive approach from the start. Instead, expect the Portuguese tactician to focus on control and discipline, with star man Anderson Talisca set to be his trump card. Having already proven his knack for big-game heroics during his time at Besiktas, Talisca could once again be the difference-maker in this high-stakes derby.
