Barcelona vs Galatasaray Prediction & Tips
After eliminating Napoli, Barcelona take on Galatasaray in the round of 16 of the Europa League. The Catalans are in great shape, thanks to Xavi’s cure they are back in fourth place in La Liga and have won all their last four matches in a row against Elche, Athletic Bilbao, Napoli and Valencia. Galatasaray, on the other hand, are having a difficult season, they are only eleventh in the league and after two victories they slowed down again with a 2-0 defeat against Konyaspor.
Barcelona have conceded at least one goal in six of their last seven matches.
Atomic attack though for Xavi, who has scored fourteen goals in his last four games.
Nine of Galatasaray’s last ten games have ended in goals.
The Turks have scored seven goals in three games.
The match between Barcelona and Galatasaray will end with a goal from both sides, with the Blaugrana in an extraordinary period of form. Xavi seems to have found the way to make the team run at full speed, especially in attack, thanks to the great summer market, is impossible to stop: 2 goals against Elche on Sunday, four against Bilbao, Naples and Valencia in the previous three. The Catalans are flying on the wings of enthusiasm but according to our prediction they will concede a goal against Galatasaray. If it is true that the attack seems to be back to the good old days, it is also true that in defence Barcelona hardly ever leave the field with an unbroken goal, the fault of not always perfect central units and of a game that often leaves open spaces to the opponents. The Turks will take advantage of this, as they are living a difficult season but they have quality players like Yimaz and Babel.
