Galatasaray A.Ş v FC Barcelona Prediction
Best Bet: FC Barcelona to win & over 4.5 goals @ 6/4
Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick in Trabzonspor's 4-0 Super Lig win over Galatasaray A.Ş last month and FC Barcelona's forwards could run riot in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League game.
Galatasaray's defence has looked unconvincing this term. They are top of the Turkish Super Lig but have conceded 11 goals in seven games and lost 3-1 at Sporting CP in their first European fixture of the campaign.
Barcelona are expected to be without injured top scorer Raphinha, who has helped himself to 14 goals in just eight appearances this term.
However, wingers Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon were superb for Spain and England in the Nations League and former Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has scored three goals in his last four starts.
Gordon and Jesus were on target in Saturday's 3-0 La Liga victory over Getafe, which stretched Barcelona's winning start to their title defence to eight matches.
There have been over 4.5 goals in six of Barcelona's nine wins in all competitions this term, including their 5-1 rout of Feyenoord on UEFA Champions League matchday one.
Saturday's success ended a run of four matches without a clean sheet for Barca and Galatasaray should be confident of contributing to the goal tally.
They are hopeful that striker Victor Osimhen will be fit to start and only Kylian Mbappe had more shots on target than Osimhen's 25 in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League.
Alternative Bet: FC Barcelona to win 4-1 @ 12/1
FC Barcelona are strong favourites to make it 10 wins out of 10 this season and a 4-1 victory for the visitors appeals in the correct-score market.
Hansi Flick's men have scored 39 goals in nine matches in all competitions, although they do not keep many clean sheets.
Galatasaray A.Ş have won five of their seven Super Lig games this season, but they tend to struggle against stronger European opponents.
They lost 3-1 at Sporting CP on matchday one and their UEFA Champions League results last season included a 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt and a 4-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield.
