Galatasaray – Amedspor maçında ilk 11’ler belli oldu

Top-of-the-Table Clash at RAMS Park

Galatasaray hosted Amed Sportif Faaliyetler at RAMS Park on November 7, 2026, for a Trendyol Süper Lig 11th-week fixture that brought together the division’s top two sides. The match kicked off at 19.00 local Istanbul time under the supervision of referee Halil Umut Meler, with television coverage provided by beIN SPORTS 1. Coming into the fixture, league leaders Galatasaray held 25 points from their opening 10 matches, while the newly promoted Diyarbakır visitors sat just two points back in second place with 23 points, setting the stage for an immediate clash at the summit of Turkish football.

Broadcasting Channels and Referee Assignments for the Fixture

The fixture at the Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi RAMS Park was broadcast live on beIN SPORTS 1 and beIN SPORTS 1 – 4K, with digital access also available through the broadcaster’s TOD platform. Referee Halil Umut Meler officiated the encounter, assisted on the sidelines by linesmen İbrahim Çağlar Uyarcan and Abdullah Bora Özkara, while Fabio Melo of Portugal served as the VAR official for the match.

Leao Strikes Early for the Hosts

The home side seized the early initiative when forward Leao scored inside the opening seven minutes, putting Galatasaray ahead 1-0 in the first half. The early strike rewarded the tactical setup, which featured a starting lineup of Uğurcan, Sallai, Davinson, Jakobs, Eren, Lemina, Torreira, Batrakov, Yunus, Leao, and Barış. Amed Sportif Faaliyetler countered with a starting formation comprising Lafont, Krasniqi, Dellova, Bates, Umut, Raveloson, Furkan, Gökhan, Saba, Orban, and Diagne, looking to respond after falling behind on enemy turf.

Managing Roster Constraints and Suspensions

Both teams entered the pitch dealing with notable roster limitations. Galatasaray had to manage without the suspended Abdülkerim Bardakcı at the back. Amed Sportif Faaliyetler missed Samuel Ballet, who served a three-match Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) suspension following a violent conduct charge during their previous fixture against Eyüpspor. Despite these absences, the match featured a direct showdown between the league’s joint top scorers, as Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen and Amed Sportif Faaliyetler’s Gift Orban both entered the weekend tied with nine goals apiece.

Chasing Historic Milestones

The encounter carried profound historical milestones for the table-leaders. Galatasaray entered the evening on a four-match winning run in the league alongside an active 40-match home undefeated streak at RAMS Park. Avoiding defeat against Amed Sportif Faaliyetler would allow the Istanbul powerhouse to equal their club record of 41 matches unbeaten on home soil. The fixture marked the very first meeting between the two clubs in Trendyol Süper Lig history, making Amed Sportif Faaliyetler the 78th distinct opponent Galatasaray has faced across the history of the top flight.
