Istanbul, Turkey
Na this Saturday, Galatasaray go face Genclerbirligi for Rams Park, wey sabi dey sweet for dem. Dem dey hot as defending champions, but e no go easy as dem just collect dem first loss of the season against Kocaelispor. Na wah! After international break, dem wan reset themselves well.
Before dem fall like say dem no sabi ball, dem don brick up four wins, one draw, and just that one loss wey don pain dem. Manager Okan Buruk don talk say dem fit take this loss as blessing in disguise because fatigue don dey show for the players. E no easy carry six matches back to back, and your legs go dey beg for rest! (No be so wey dey happen for Naija too?)
As e be now, Galatasaray don lose star striker Victor Osimhen, wey no fit participate because injury come dey worry am from international duty. Imagine say you dey play ball and your team dey rely on you, but wahala go just gree you! Na double wah for Buruk now, as dem dey try stay top for league with just one point ahead of Fenerbahce, wey dey close the gap like e dey come chop food.
But make we no forget Genclerbirligi. Dem don gather some confidence after dem beat Basaksehir 2-1 before the break. Still, dem get big problems; their record for away match no too sweet. Since 2013, dem no fit win for Rams Park, e be like say na bad luck dey follow dem! (Bros, na wa o! What’s with this dry run?)
Galatasaray hope make the clash no dash dem another disappointment. Even though dem go lack the firepower wey Osimhen fit bring, dem get Icardi wey go show face as main striker. If dem fit hold di midfield tight while chasing Genclerbirligi down, dem fit easily grab di three points wey go signal dem say, “We still dey in control.”
Na only time go tell if Genclerbirligi fit break this winless jinx against Cimbom (the Lions). Dem go need strong strategy, better defense, and maybe small luck to shine for this match. As dem dey enter this encounter, make dem waka well o!”
