UEFA Champions League
Galatasaray lost their last two matches in the tournament 0:1 and drifted away from the top 8. They remain a team that can surprise anyone, but can also be surprised. At home, they defeated Liverpool and Bodo Glimt, but lost to debutant Union Saint-Gilloise. Days before this match, Galatasaray only drew 1:1 at home against Gaziantep in the league, and a week earlier lost the Super Cup match in Turkey to Fenerbahce. Victor Osimhen will still not be available, and Icardi will have to lead the attack again.
Atletico Madrid has lost only one of their last eight matches in all competitions – recently against Real Madrid in the Super Cup. The goal now is to stay in the top 8 of the Champions League, where they have four wins and two losses so far. The losses came in away matches against Arsenal and Liverpool, but at least they won against PSV in their last visit to the tournament. Atletico's matches have been quite high-scoring. They have not kept a clean sheet in their six matches so far, and all of them had over 2.5 goals in them.
Prediction: both teams to scoreGalatasaray is capable of delivering a surprise, but also of failing, as we mentioned earlier. I really don't know what to expect from the team, but I think there could be goals at both ends. Atletico tends to have high-scoring matches this season in the tournament, and they still haven't kept a clean sheet so far in the competition.
