Victor Osimhen and Paul Onuachu will be aiming for major milestones in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday as the season approaches its conclusion.
Osimhen is on the verge of winning a fourth consecutive league title with Galatasaray, while Onuachu is hoping to strengthen his lead in the race for the league’s Golden Boot award.
Galatasaray host Antalyaspor at RAMS Park knowing that a victory would secure the club’s 26th league title and another championship triumph.
The Istanbul giants missed the opportunity to seal the title last weekend after suffering a 4-1 defeat to Samsunspor, allowing rivals Fenerbahce to reduce the gap at the top of the table.
Despite the setback, Osimhen expressed confidence that Galatasaray would bounce back and clinch the title in front of their home supporters.
Galatasaray have dominated recent meetings against Antalyaspor, remaining unbeaten in their last 19 encounters and winning the last seven matches between both sides.
Away from the title race, Onuachu will lead the line for Trabzonspor in their clash against Besiktas as he seeks to maintain his position as the league’s top scorer.
The Nigerian striker currently leads the scoring chart with 22 goals but has gone three matches without scoring, allowing closest challengers Eldor Shomurodov and Anderson Talisca to close the gap.
Onuachu had enjoyed an impressive run earlier in the campaign, scoring in eight consecutive league games after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations before a minor injury slowed his momentum.
A goal against Besiktas would boost his chances of becoming only the second Nigerian player, after Osimhen, to win the Turkish Super Lig Golden Boot.
Meanwhile, Osimhen continues to attract transfer attention, with Galatasaray reportedly rejecting a €75m offer from Paris Saint-Germain for the striker, who remains under contract until 2029.
