The 24 times Turkish champions are on a hunt for their next title and they have got the best possible start to their campaign as they face their arch rivals Besiktas, in a top of the table clash on Monday, 28th october. Osimhen has been on fire so far, and he will be looking to make an impact in that derby as he has kick started his life at Turkey in style with five goal contributions already this season.
