Victor Osimhen vs Paul Onuachu
Victor Osimhen's stats
Osimhen scored 26 league goals for Galatasaray last season during his loan spell, but has had a slow start this season after signing for the club permanently.
As noted by Transfermarkt, he has three goals in seven matches this season, as he is yet to hit full form and missed three matches due to the injury suffered on intense duty.
However, he has been impactful for Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League. He scored three goals and won matches against Liverpool and Bodo/Glimt, while the Lions lost to Eintracht Frankfurt in his absence.
Paul Onuachu's stats
Onuachu, like Osimhen, spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Trabzonspor from EFL Championship side Southampton after the club was relegated.
He returned to Southampton after they gained promotion again in the 2024/25 season and left again to join Trabzonspor permanently in January 2025.

Onuachu has hit top form for the club this season, scoring seven goals and providing one assist, and has won two Goals of the Month awards.
According to Ajans Spor, Onuachu's 2.01 metre height, which gives him an aerial advantage, is already a concern for Okan Buruk ahead of the match.
Galatasaray’s centre-back duo of Davinson Sanchez and Abdulkerim Bardakci are 1.87 and 1.85 meters tall. 1.9 metre tall Wilfred Singo is out due to a hamstring injury.
Onuachu has scored more goals this season and is in better form, but Osimhen is a big-game player and could overshadow his compatriot on the day.
Onuachu sent message to Osimhen
Legit.ng previously reported that Onuachu sent a message to Osimhen with his performance, which caught the eye of Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle.
The former KRC Genk forward is the top scorer in the Turkish Super League and could be considered for Nigeria's squad for the match against Gabon.
