Galatasaray vs Real Madrid Match Preview

Real Madrid find themselves in a must-win game when they travel to Turkey to face Galatasaray. They are ranked at the bottom of the group with a single point after two games and this is not where they belong. In case of another false step here they would seriously complicate their qualifying chances and they can't allow a team like Real Madrid to fail in the group stage. The good news is that Hazard, Carvajal and Kroos are back with the team and are expected to be on the starting line up and that will be of big help. After suffering that loss against Mallorca they will be hungry for redemption and I don't see them failing once against in the Champions League.

Galatasaray on the other side, are ranked at third place with just one point too. They got a draw in the opener against Club Brugge and lost to PSG 0-1 at home. But for this clash, they will miss Falcao too who is struggling with an injury. That weakens their offensive side and I guess they will be less dangerous for Madrid, which eventually will encourage Los Blancos to push more and more until they score. I guess the form Galatasaray is showing in their league is an indicator that they are not at their best for the moment.

In conclusion, I think Real Madrid should win this match and climb in the ranks finally. They have the better team here and their best player Eden Hazard is going to play from the start so its already something. Galatasaray just misses the quality needed to stop them.
