As the Turkish champions are ready to host Bodo/Glimt in Wednesday’s Champions League match, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is almost certain to make history.
Osimhen needs just one more goal to become the first player from Galatasaray to score in seven straight European games. Burak Yilmaz, who scored in six consecutive games in 2012, currently holds the same record as him.
When Osimhen scored a late goal to help Galatasaray defeat Liverpool 1-0 last month, he equaled that accomplishment. He now has the chance to outperform Yilmaz and establish a new benchmark for the Istanbul powerhouses.
When Okan Buruk’s team hosts the Norwegian champions at Rams Park, the 26-year-old Nigerian striker is anticipated to spearhead the attack once more. He is expected to start in the midweek European match after coming off the bench in their 2-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir over the weekend.
Osimhen has made seven appearances in all competitions since joining Galatasaray, tallying three goals. He is already a fan favorite thanks to his impressive performances, and Wednesday’s match might solidify his expanding reputation in Turkey.
In addition to giving Galatasaray a significant boost in their Champions League campaign, a goal against Bodo/Glimt would guarantee Osimhen a unique position in the club’s record books.
