Preview

Istanbul Basaksehir were unable to respond to their away defeat against a Mohamed Salah-inspired Trabzonspor when they faced Kasimpasa in gameweek three. Nuri Sahin's men were forced to settle for a point on home soil ahead of a much tougher test on Friday.

Galatasaray added winger Rafael Leao to their already star-studded line-up before the end of the transfer window, adding more firepower to their title charge. A 3-2 win over Göztepe last time out made it seven points from the visitors' first three Süper Lig outings this term.
