In the first round of Group A of the Turkey Cup, one of the matches that has caught the attention of football fans is the clash between “Galatasaray” and “Istanbul Başakşehir.” Last season’s cup winners, the “Yellow-Reds,” are once again entering this year’s competition as one of the main contenders for the title.
At the same time, “Başakşehir,” led by Nuri Şahin, has recently been showcasing very confident performances. The team has achieved a series of significant victories in its recent matches, with notable contributions from Uzbekistan national team players Eldor Shomurodov and Abbosbek Fayzullayev.
Prestigious Turkish outlets Fanatik and Fotomaç have published the predicted starting lineups for the teams ahead of the match. According to their reports, both Uzbek players are expected to begin the game from the first minute, increasing local fans' interest in the match.
In Fanatik's analysis, while Galatasaray’s attacking line, led by Icardi, appears formidable, the simultaneous presence of Shomurodov and Fayzullayev on the field for Başakşehir could add a fresh dynamic to the team’s offensive play.
- "Galatasaray": Günay, Saracchi, Arda, Abdulkerim, Kazımcan, Torreira, Sara, Yusuf Demir, Ahmed, Barış, Icardi.
- "Başakşehir": Muhammed, Ömer Ali, Duarte, Opoku, Onur, Umut Güneş, Berat, Fayzullayev, Harit, Shomurodov, Selke.
Fotomaç, while noting some potential differences in the lineups, has emphasized the high likelihood that the Uzbek players will feature in the starting squad.
- "Başakşehir": Muhammed, Onur, Opoku, Duarte, Ebosele, Onur, Fayzullayev, Umut, Harit, Da Costa, Shomurodov.
- "Galatasaray": Günay, Saracchi, Arda, Abdulkerim, Kazımcan, Berkan, Sara, Ahmed, Yunus, Barış, Icardi.
