Galatasaray vs Barcelona: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Galatasaray vs Barcelona predicted formations

Galatasaray host Barcelona at Türk Telekom Arena on Tuesday, October 13 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

Galatasaray head into this one with no fresh fitness concerns on the team sheet, meaning Gabriel Sara is set to marshal midfield again after playing eighty-four minutes last time out, with Yunus Akgün pushing forward in support and Ismail Jakobs and Davinson Sánchez anchoring the back line. Barcelona, who have similarly avoided any fresh absences, should field the frontline that did the damage against Feyenoord: Lamine Yamal up top alongside Gabriel Jesus and Karim Adeyemi, with Pedro González López and João Cancelo both involved in build-up play from deeper.

    • Gabriel Sara (Galatasaray): The defensive midfielder played eighty-four minutes last time out, landing two shots and creating two chances from deep.
    • Yunus Akgün (Galatasaray): Akgün created two chances in eighty-four minutes and will look to supply the final ball in the final third.

    Galatasaray vs Barcelona Prediction

    With Barcelona already on 3 points and a +4 goal difference against Galatasaray’s 0 points and -2, the gap in output should tell even away from home. Galatasaray shipped three goals at Sporting CP and will need Sánchez and Jakobs tighter at the back, while Yamal and Barcelona’s front line look sharp enough to create problems all night. Expect Galatasaray to get one back through sheer persistence, but the prediction lands on Galatasaray 1-2 Barcelona.
