Heavy duel in Istanbul! The critical period for Real Madrid. If not required today, a historical shame may appear.
Galatasaray: Team information, moment form
An infernal atmosphere is announced in Istanbul, with Galatasaray seeking the first victory in the Champions League groups. They started with a draw on the field of the Club Brugge, score 0-0. Later, Galata hardly lost to their supporters, 0-1 with those from PSG. In the weekends, they played in the championship with Sivasspor, on their own ground. Galatasaray prevailed with the score of 3-2, the protagonist of the meeting being Florin Andone. The Romanian international broke the ice in Turkey with a double sensation in the first half and is expected to start today. It remains to be seen if Andone will be the main fire of the hosts, especially since Radamel Falcao is uncertain due to an injury.
Real Madrid: Team information, moment form
Zidane’s troupe failed to tie anything in the Champions League, taking into account a humiliation at PSG (score 3-0) and a draw on their own field with Club Brugge, score 2-2. Their defense is very weak and it is hard to believe that the Madrilenians will escape without a goal in Turkey. This weekend Real Madrid also lost its supremacy in La Liga, where it was undefeated. They laughed on the field of Mallorca and lost with a score of 1-0, reaching behind Barcelona. Zidane’s lot problems will make his life difficult tonight. Asensio is a long-term injury and Nacho, Gareth Bale, Luca Modric, F. Mendy, Lucas Vazquez and Toni Kroos are uncertain. Instead, Eden Hazard will return, who was absent for personal reasons in the duel with Mallorca.
Galatasaray vs Real Madrid Picks
In front of a packed stadium, Galatasaray is forced to attack in order to hope for the Champions League spring. On the other hand, Real Madrid is not allowed yet another wrong step, otherwise it may compromise a new season. I expect to see a show in the stands and on the field and the goals will definitely make an appearance.
Our Prediction: Both Teams Score
Odds: 1.72
