Explore the latest developments concerning Preview: Caykur Rizespor.
Galatasaray make the trip to the Rize City Stadium to face Caykur Rizespor on Sunday looking for the win that would strengthen their hold of top spot in the Super Lig table.
At a time when the visitors hold a three-point advantage over second position, their hosts are down in 12th place after a recent poor run of form.
When Galatasaray resumed Super Lig action in 2026 with a 1-1 draw at home to Gazientep, the door was left ajar for fierce rivals Fenerbahce.
However, the defending champions have since responded with back-to-back victories over Fatih Karagumruk (3-1) and Kayserispor (4-0) respectively.
Galatasaray’s recent match against Caykur Rizespor showcased a commanding 3-0 victory, largely thanks to the standout performance of Baris Yilmaz. His contributions were pivotal in steering his team towards this decisive win.
Yilmaz opened the scoring just 19 minutes into the match with a close-range header. This early goal set the tone for the remainder of the game, demonstrating Galatasaray’s dominance. He arrived at the far post to capitalize on a precise cross from Noa Lang, allowing him to navigate through the defense effectively.
Following his goal, Yilmaz continued to influence the game. He assisted Yunus Akgun in the 62nd minute with a well-placed cross, exploiting a gap that emerged in Caykur Rizespor’s defense. This assist further showcased his awareness and ability to read the game, which was crucial for Galatasaray’s offensive strategy.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen continued his impressive run in front of goal as Galatasaray sealed a convincing 3–0 victory over Rizespor on Sunday.
The Nigerian international put the result beyond doubt at the Çaykur Didi Stadium, scoring Galatasaray’s third goal after Barış Alper Yılmaz and Yunus Akgün had given the visitors a comfortable two-goal cushion.
Osimhen showed composure and class, latching onto a through pass from Noa Lang, rounding Ivorian goalkeeper Yahia Fofana, and calmly slotting the ball into the net.
The goal secured Galatasaray their biggest away win at the Çaykur Didi Stadium in the Süper Lig since November 2020, when they previously secured a 4–0, according to Opta Can.
