Okan Buruk assesses the pre-match tension

In the 37th week of the Süper Lig, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe will face off at RAMS Park.

Entering the 37th week with a 6-point lead, Galatasaray will declare themselves champions if they win or draw.

Before the match, which will start at 19:00, Galatasaray Manager Okan Buruk made statements to beIN SPORTS.

"Today is May 19, a very important and valuable day for our country. It is the 105th anniversary of Atatürk's arrival in Samsun. I hope we continue to commemorate Atatürk by celebrating this every year. This is a championship match for us. We are experiencing the excitement of it. When we look at last year, the fixture went similarly. Last year, we went into the Fenerbahçe match with a 5-point lead; this year it is 6. We want to win in terms of the game, psychology, and mentality. Our opponent suffered their last away defeat here. The 24th championship is very important for us. We need to stay within the game of football. Things we didn't want happened before the match, and they will happen during the match as well. We need to stay within the game of football. I will remind my players of this once more. We know that as long as we stay on the pitch, we can do our best. The important change is Szymanski being on the right side; he has played little in that position. He will play in a spot close to his own position. We prepared for both Batshuayi and Dzeko. Our opponent is not a team that plays out with many passes. Long balls and second balls will be important. We want to win this match and go into the final week as champions."
