Galatasaray: they come in on a four-match winning sequence, following one defeat before that. That is four wins, no draws and one defeat from the last five, worth 12 points. It leaves them unbeaten in four. Their 2025-season record in our dataset (69 scored and 48 conceded in 37 matches, 1.86 and 1.3 per game) points to strong attacking output with occasional defensive lapses. That is reflected in a form rating of 34.2 out of 100, and they sit 23rd on a goal difference of -3. For a club of Galatasaray's standing, that is a season off track rather than a slow start.
