Reason for Barcelona vs Galatasaray Predictions
Barcelona is a much more solid side now than they were in the first half of the season and will go into their round of 16 clash at home to Galatasaray carrying an eight-game unbeaten run. The Spanish side eliminated Napoli in the knockout playoffs and will be eyeing a first-leg advantage against the Turkish side. Ahead of this game, Barcelona needed a late Memphis Depay penalty to see off Elche 2-1 in La Liga. The Catalans have worked well on the attack; they go into this game having scored two or more goals in the last four matches. However, they still have defensive problems; ahead of this game, they have just one clean sheet in their previous seven games. Barcelona’s improving form has seen them go unbeaten in eight matches, winning six, but they’ve conceded two or more goals in five of their last 10. Adama Traore finally is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, and he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance. Gavi showed that he is a great player, he moves well and cooperates with the attackers, all praise for him. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Gavi and Dani Alves.
Galatasaray is struggling domestically, but the same hasn’t been reflected in Europa League. They’ve done well so far, going unbeaten in their last ten games in this competition. The Turkish side has five wins in the last 10 Europa League matches and finished the group stages unbeaten and top of Group E with 12 points. Ahead of this game, though, they have no clean sheet in the last ten matches and have conceded two or more goals in seven of the previous ten games. While they have been poor defensively, Galatasaray has been consistent in scoring. Going into this game, they have failed to score in just two of their last ten matches but have lost five of those 10. Erick Pulgar found the right role in the team, he moves great in the middle of the field, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup.
Conclusion
Barcelona is a big favorite in this match, and they are expected to solve the question of the winner at halftime.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. We hope that football fans will enjoy this match.
