Victor Osimhen will be aiming to cap a stellar season with the Turkish Super Lig Golden Boot as champions Galatasaray visit Göztepe in their final away game of the campaign.
The Nigerian striker has netted 25 league goals—most in the division—filling the gap left by Mauro Icardi’s injury and playing a key role in Galatasaray’s title-winning run.
Fresh from sealing their 25th league crown and a domestic double, Okan Buruk’s side have little at stake but are expected to stay sharp, with Osimhen and others chasing personal accolades.
Tonight’s encounter may carry little competitive weight for Galatasaray, but Osimhen still has plenty to play for. Not only is he chasing individual glory in the form of the league’s top scorer award, but he’s also eyeing a strong finish to cement his status as one of the standout players of the season.
His performances have been pivotal to Galatasaray’s dominant campaign, in which they scored more goals than any other side (87) and lost just once—a narrow 2-1 defeat to Besiktas that ended their historic 17-match away winning streak.
For hosts Göztepe, the game represents their final home appearance of a commendable return to top-flight football after two seasons in the lower division. Head coach Stanimir Stoilov has steered the Izmir-based club to eighth place, with an impressive home record that trails only the league’s top two.
Göztepe, enjoying a solid return to the top flight, will look to close out their home season with a statement performance, despite a heavy 6-3 loss to Rizespor last weekend.
Kickoff at the Gürsel Aksel Stadium is set for 8:00 PM local time.
