We’re on the verge of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig season starting, with Galatasaray having delighted their supporters by lifting the crown last term. They won thirty-three matches last season on the way to recording 102 points, with Okan Buruk looking to steer the team to another big success.
Mauro Icardi was able to score 25 goals last season and the Argentine can once again spearhead the team's attack, with Fernando Muslera being the legendary and long-time goalkeeper between the sticks and he was able to keep seventeen clean sheets last term. Dries Mertens is also the chief assist maker for the champions.
Fenerbahce were three points off the summit last time out, with Jose Mourinho having now taken charge of a team who will expect to be crowned champions this time around. The manager arrived at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium to widespread acclaim and he has previously demonstrated a track record for landing titles in different countries.
Edin Dzeko scored twenty-one goals in his first season in the Turkish Super Lig, with the veteran striker likely to benefit from working with Mourinho, while Dusan Tadic is likely to be the chief creator, with the bookies making the team slight favourites to regain the title and it will be interesting to see how the rivals fare against each other.
