Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs the visitors’ class to tell.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Lamine Yamal 2+ shots on target | 4/5 (Ladbrokes) | Lamine Yamal has had 44 shots in eight La Liga games, the second-highest total in Spain, with 14 of them on target and seven goals. He has landed at least two shots on target in five of those eight matches, so this line suits him better than the anytime scorer market. Barcelona put five past Feyenoord on matchday one, and Galatasaray were beaten 3-1 at Sporting. Yamal to have two or more shots on target is 4/5 with Ladbrokes. |
| Xavi Espart 1+ shot on target | 10/3 (bet365) | Xavi Espart has hit the target in two of his six La Liga games and has scored once, and he is getting forward more often as Barcelona dominate the ball. Galatasaray are likely to sit deep in Istanbul, which tends to leave room for runners from deep to shoot from the edge of the area. bet365 are well clear of the field at 10/3 for Espart to land a shot on target, making him our bigger-priced player angle in this one. |

How Galatasaray go into the game
Galatasaray were beaten 3-1 at Sporting on matchday one and have ground to make up in the league phase.
Rams Park will be a cauldron, and the hosts will need their fans at full voice to trouble Barcelona.
How Barcelona go into the game
Barcelona opened with a 5-1 rout of Feyenoord and travel with their attack in irresistible form.
Lamine Yamal and company should have too much quality, though the hostile venue is a genuine test.
Galatasaray vs Barcelona team news
Team news below is drawn from Sports Mole and Flashscore and was correct at the time of writing. Confirmed line-ups land around an hour before kick-off.
Galatasaray: Wilfried Singo is a doubt with a thigh problem and Flashscore also lists Gunay Guvenc as doubtful. Victor Osimhen is back from an adductor injury. Lucas Torreira was sent off domestically against Kasimpasa, but that dismissal does not carry into this competition.
Barcelona: Raphinha misses out with the thigh problem he picked up on Brazil duty, though it is not thought to be serious. Andreas Christensen (thigh) is not expected back in time and Roony Bardghji (cruciate) is out until 2027. Frenkie de Jong is a doubt as he waits on clearance to return. Eric Garcia is available again having served a one-match ban.
