Süper Lig round one, and the Rams of Istanbul welcome a Corum side making their top-flight debut. Galatasaray's pre-season was rough - one win in five, conceding in all five friendlies - but those were warm-up games against European opposition; the real motivation kicks in now. Corum arrive promoted and organised: three clean sheets in their last five, just two goals conceded across that run, and only one game over 2.5 goals. Defensively solid for a newly promoted side, but stepping up in class is a different story. The gap in squad quality is enormous. Galatasaray's attack will eventually find gaps, and Corum's tidy defensive record was built in the second division. AH -1.5 at 1.60 demands Gala win by two or more - a realistic ask for a title contender at home on opening day. That price carries value the flat 1.17 win price simply does not.
