The match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce on February 24, 2025, is poised to be a significant encounter in the Turkish Super Lig. Currently, Galatasaray leads the league with 63 points, while Fenerbahce trails closely behind with 57 points . The rivalry between these two clubs is legendary, characterized by intense competition and a passionate fanbase. This match not only holds implications for the title race but also serves as a platform for both teams to assert their dominance in Turkish football.
The clubs fought for the title last season. Okan Buruk and his players successfully defended their champion status, while their rivals from Fenerbahce finished second amidst controversies and rumors about moving elsewhere.
To break their decade-long wait for the golden title, Fenerbahce brought in Mourinho, but even The Special One could not live up to expectations. Fenerbahce were knocked out in the Champions League qualifiers and only just made it to the Europa League knockout rounds. They then proceeded to thrash Anderlecht 4-1 at home, securing a crucial draw in Belgium.
Galatasaray have 63 and a six-point lead over Fenerbahçe, who themselves are 11 points ahead of the chasing pack. Galatasaray won 2-1 away at Rizespor last weekend for a fourth consecutive league win. In fact, the hosts are yet to lose a league match this season, winning 20 and drawing three matches.
Part of that impressive record is ten wins and two draws at this venue, where Gala have won their last four league matches in a row. Fenerbahçe won 3-1 at home against Kasimpasa last week for their seventh consecutive league win. It revived the title chase for manager José Mourinho, who oversaw a draw and loss in three matches before Christmas that derailed their title bid.
Galatasaray possible starting lineup: Muslera; Sanchez, Bardakci, Cuesta; Frankowski, Torreira, Sara, Yilmaz; Mertens; Osimhen, Kutucu
Fenerbahce possible starting lineup: Livakovic; Djiku, Skriniar, Mercan; Aydin, Fred, Amrabat, Szymanski, Kostic; Talisca, En-Neysri
In terms of tactical setups, Galatasaray is likely to employ a 4-4-2 formation while Fenerbahce may opt for a more dynamic 3-4-1-2 arrangement. The predicted scoreline leans towards a narrow victory for Galatasaray at 2-1; however, both teams have shown offensive prowess that could result in multiple goals scored during the match.
