Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up to face Galatasaray in their upcoming Europa League match on Thursday.
Galatasaray enters this clash with momentum, having defeated Beşiktaş 2-1 in their last Super Lig match. During that game, they held 40% possession and took 20 shots, with six on target. Davinson Sánchez and Victor Osimhen scored for Galatasaray, while Beşiktaş’s lone goal came from Ernest Muçi in stoppage time. Galatasaray’s recent matches have been action-packed, with a total of 24 goals scored over their last six games, averaging four goals per match, of which 15 were scored by Galatasaray.
Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, are coming off a strong 4-1 win against Aston Villa in the Premier League. They maintained 51% possession and attempted 16 shots, with Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke (scoring twice), and James Maddison contributing to the victory. Tottenham, however, has conceded goals in five of their last six matches, allowing a total of seven, indicating some defensive vulnerabilities.
Team news for Galatasaray reveals that Okan Buruk will be missing only Ismail Jakobs due to a muscle strain, while Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou will be without Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Wilson Odobert (thigh), and Djed Spence (groin).
Prediction
This match looks to be an even contest, with both teams likely to find the back of the net. A 2-2 draw seems probable, making for an entertaining match.
