Galatasaray closed the first half of the season in emphatic fashion with a dominant 2–0 victory over Kasımpaşa. This was more than just three points — it was a complete performance built on control, pressure, and authority.

Galatasaray dictated the match from start to finish, limiting Kasımpaşa to zero shots for the entire game while piling on wave after wave of attacks. The visitors never found a way through a disciplined, well-organized Galatasaray side that left Gunay with nothing to do.

The night was capped by a historic moment as Mauro Icardi found the net to become Galatasaray’s all-time leading foreign goal scorer, surpassing the legendary Gheorghe Hagi.

With the win, Galatasaray head into the winter break on top of the table and full of momentum, with the transfer window approaching and key players set to return. A statement performance to finish the year strong.

Galatasaray delivered a dominant 4–1 away win over Antalyaspor to stay top of the Süper Lig heading into the final match before the midseason break. We break down the key tactical change — Yunus Akgün starting centrally — how it transformed the attack, and Mauro Icardi’s late goal that put the finishing touch on a statement victory.

Galatasaray travel south to face Antalyaspor in one of the Süper Lig’s most unique away fixtures — and it comes at a critical moment for Okan Buruk’s squad.

We begin by looking back at last season’s meeting, highlighted by Victor Osimhen’s brilliant goal — assisted by Morato, a player no longer at the club. It’s a clear reminder of how recent transfer decisions have left real gaps in the squad.

From there, we discuss what makes this trip to Antalya so different: the warm weather, the coastal setting, and the challenging away atmosphere that can test even the most experienced sides.

We then break down Galatasaray’s projected starting XI, explaining why each player is likely to start and how Okan Buruk may adjust following disappointment in Europe. We also analyze Antalyaspor — their manager, their leading scorer, and the threats they pose at home.

Finally, we look at the league standings, explain why this match matters so much in the title race, and finish with a match prediction — including a technical xG-based projection for both teams.

It’s a big match, a big test, and a big opportunity for Galatasaray to respond.

Thanks for listening, and as always: Haydi En Büyük Cimbom! 🔴🟡
