The league did not start well for Galatasaray. Although they took the lead against Sivas on the road, they failed to get three points. The fans are not happy as they are still waiting for some big transfers. The keepers are not trustable. The visitors Bursaspor made a good start to the new season as they want to save their lead. They have defeated Konya with a narrow victory. The squad becema better and better with Argentinian players. They look ready to UEFA Champions League. The home side will miss Elano and Pino. Sabri, Çağlar ve Mehmet Batdal are also doubtful. The visitors will miss Turgay Bahadir. Federico Insua recovered, but his fitness is far from his teammates.

Galatasaray absolutely needs to win after facing a defeat in the opening week. Bursaspor also targets to stretch their unbeaten run. I except expect to see a tight game and a careful football from both sides in the first half.
For the draw at 1st half, the best odds are at Bwin, Sportingbet and Bet365.
