Galatasaray, the current leader of the Trendyol Süper Lig, is set to face Sipay Bodrum FK in the 13th week of the league fixtures. The match will take place at Grey Beton Bodrum Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 19:00. The game will be officiated by Muhammet Ali Metoğlu.

The yellow-red team remains unbeaten in the league, having secured 10 victories and a draw over 11 matches. With 31 points, Galatasaray tops the league table entering the 13th week.

Sipay Bodrum FK, on the other hand, has managed to achieve 3 wins, 2 draws, and suffered 7 defeats in their 12 matches, placing them in 16th position with 11 points.

Galatasaray aims to mark a historical achievement by winning this match and becoming the team with the most victories in the first 12 matches of a league season.

However, they will have to compete without several players. Colombian footballer Davinson Sanchez will miss the match due to a yellow card suspension, and Senegalese left-back Ismail Jakobs is ruled out due to an injury sustained in a previous game against Samsunspor. Mauro Icardi will also be absent as he recovers from an injury encountered in a match against Tottenham.

In the absence of Icardi, attention will shift towards Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker, on loan from Italian club Napoli, has impressed with 8 goals in 9 appearances this season. He also scored twice against Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League and has recorded a total of 6 goals in the Süper Lig.

Galatasaray, under the management of Okan Buruk, has scored 32 goals in 11 matches, making them the highest-scoring team in the league. They aim to extend their record of consecutive away wins, having already broken the record with a 13-match streak after defeating Antalyaspor 3-0 in week nine.

This encounter marks the first-ever fixture between Galatasaray and Bodrum FK in the Süper Lig. Bodrum FK reached the top league for the first time in its history by defeating Sakaryaspor in the Trendyol 1. Lig playoff final last season.

The probable lineup for Galatasaray includes Muslera, Kaan Ayhan, Nelsson, Abdülkerim, Torreira, Sara, Yunus Akgün, Barış Alper, Sallai, Mertens, and Osimhen.
