Galatasaray will host its arch-rival Beşiktaş upon returning from the international break. The massive match to be played today at RAMS Park will begin at 19:00.
DERBY PERFORMANCE STANDS OUT
Galatasaray's primary goalscorer Mauro Icardi stands out with his derby performances. The 30-year-old striker has not gone scoreless in any of the derbies he has played in the Trendyol Süper Lig.
IF HE SCORES, HE WILL BREAK HAGI'S RECORD
Mauro Icardi has played with 2 goals and 1 assist against Fenerbahçe, 3 goals against Beşiktaş, and 3 goals against Trabzonspor. The star player has scored 8 goals in 6 derby matches. He had previously tied Gheorghe Hagi's record with the goals he scored in derbies. If Icardi finds the back of the net against Beşiktaş today, he will become the foreign player with the most goals in derbies while wearing the Galatasaray jersey.
Mauro Icardi has played 14 matches this season with 12 goals and 2 assists.
