Here is a comprehensive compilation of TV schedules and listings for to Galatasaray's clash with Kasımpaşa in the Turkish top-flight.

With Super Lig resuming on Friday, the return to action could not get more exciting than this. In the first game of Matchday 5, Galatasaray will take on Kasimpasa on September 14 at the Türk Telekom Stadyumu in Istanbul.

The reason why this tie should make for an interesting match is simple: it will pit the first-placed team against the second. For one, the opportunity to leapfrog into the first spot is at hand; for the other, the chance to increase their lead dangles in front of them.

Surprisingly, it is not the defending champion sitting ahead of the competition, as Kasimpasa's unbeaten record means they are the unexpected leaders. Furthermore, despite their awful record against the home side, recent form could see the visitor grab a win.

While Kasimpasa won 2-1 prior to the international break, the same can't be said for Cimbom, as they suffered a humiliating to Trabzonspor. Up until then, Fatih Terim's crew enjoyed a perfect.

However, the question is whether the Apaches can put history behind them and overcome Galatasaray. A look at their head-to-head record against the Istanbul giant shows that they have not fared well against them before.

Regardless, Kasimpasa is in terrific form and will be keen on translating that into a win on Friday. As for the reigning champion, their only task will be to return to winning ways. It will thus be interesting to see which side accomplishes their goal.
