Galatasaray vs Tottenham Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Galatasaray:
Muslera; Ayhan, Sanchez, Bardakci, Kohn; Torreira, Sara; Yilmaz, Mertens, Akgun; Osimhen

Tottenham:
Vicario; Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Bergvall, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Werner

Galatasaray will welcome Tottenham to Rams Park in Istanbul on Thursday evening in UEFA Europa League's fourth rounds clash. The Turkish Giants have two wins and one draw after the first three rounds and sit fifth on the table with seven points. Both victories came at home as Galata managed to beat PAOK with 3:1 and Elfsborg with 4:3. The away draw is usually a solid result, but not this time. Considering the power of the opponents, it is correct to say Galatasaray dropped two points at Riga after conceding two late goals. The match in Latvia have ended with a 2:2 draw. Nevertheless, coach Okan Buruk's side are unbeaten in 11 matches across all competitions, winning 9 of them. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. Buruk has almost all players available for this match, only the left-back Ismail Jakobs remains sidelined with a knee injury. On the positive note, goalkeeper Fernando Muslera is available after served a European ban and is expected to start here.

Tottenham have started the European campaign with maximal effect. The Spurs have nine points after the first three rounds and they are sharing the first place with Lazio and Anderlecht. The current form is very good, last weekend they beat high-flying Aston Villa with 4:1. But Tottenham at home and Tottenham away from home are two different stories. While they have won each of their last six home fixtures across all competitions, the Spurs will travel to Istanbul seeking to avoid losing a third straight away game. Postecoglou has some injury issues ahead of this match. Richarlison and Christian Romero were both forced off in the match against Aston Villa and they are rated as doubtful. Micky van de Ven and Wilson Odobert are sidelined, both due to hamstring injuries. Djed Spence will be assessed on Thursday as he is recovering from a groin problem. Postecoglou will probably rotate the players, meaning James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Lucas Bergvall, Timo Werner and Mikey Moore could start from the first minute.

Galatasaray vs Tottenham Prediction:

All three Galatasaray matches in Europa League were efficient. The Lions beat PAOK with 3:1 and Elfsborg with 4:3, while played a 2:2 draw with RFS. I believe they are able to continue that way. Coach Buruk has two big stars in the team, attackers able to make a difference. First is Victor Osimhen, who has scored four goals in his last three games for the club, and the second is the top scorer Mauro Icardi, who has six goals to his name this season. On the other side, Tottenham should not be underestimated. I am well aware that Postecoglou could rotate the players, but that shouldn't be a problem as he has long roster. I will remind You Tottenham "reserves" won all three matches in Europa League. I am not sure if they are able to register another victory, though I am expecting an open and efficient match in Istanbul.

Galatasaray vs Tottenham Pick: Over 3.5 goals @ 2.12 with Pinnacle
