Galatasaray
- Galatasaray have won four of their last five competitive games, keeping multiple clean sheets.
- With silverware and bragging rights at stake in this one-off Super Cup final, Galatasaray SK and Trabzonspor will leave nothing behind on the pitch at Gaziantep Stadyumu on Monday.
- Okan Buruk manages Galatasaray, having led them to multiple Süper Lig titles with his disciplined 4-2-3-1 system, which involves high pressing, controlling the tempo and possession.
- The Lions are currently top of the Süper Lig table on 42 points from 17 matches and have scored three or more goals in four of their last five domestic matches.
Trabzonspor
Fatih Tekke has led the Black Sea Storm to third in the Süper Lig on 35 points from 17 games , with a much more reactive 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1 system that involves a compact, narrow approach to defending and counter-attacking.
Head-to-Head
- Galatasaray have won six of the last ten head-to-head meetings across all competitions.
- That includes a 3-0 win in the 2025 Turkish Cup final.
Key Players
-
Galatasaray
- They have the firepower and creativity to take on Trabzonspor in this game, with Barış Alper Yılmaz providing width and a steady stream of assists from the left-hand side, and Victor Osimhen providing pace and power in the striker role.
- Mauro Icardi leads the line and is a cool finisher, while Osimhen has contributed key goals in both league and cup play.

Betting Insights
- Galatasaray are clearly the favourites in the betting for this game at 1.65, with Trabzonspor at 4.84 and the draw at 3.94.
- While the Lions are in better form and have the deeper squad for this one-off game, we like the value in backing Both Teams To Score at 1.66 and Over 2.5 Goals at 1.68.
- Galatasaray will win the ball more and press better, but Trabzonspor could be dangerous on the counter-attack.
- If André Onana starts in goal for the visitors, he will be a big plus given his shot-stopping abilities.
Prediction
Galatasaray have won each of the last three competitive meetings between these two clubs, winning 9-3 on aggregate, so take the hosts to clinch the Super Cup.
