Tottenham Hotspur is preparing to take on Galatasaray in their upcoming Europa League match on Thursday.
Galatasaray comes into this game on a high after a 2-1 victory over Beşiktaş in their last Super Lig match. In that game, they had 40% possession and registered 20 shots, with six on target.
Davinson Sánchez and Victor Osimhen scored for Galatasaray, while Ernest Muçi netted Beşiktaş’s only goal in stoppage time. Galatasaray’s recent matches have been action-packed, featuring 24 goals over their last six games, averaging four goals per game, with Galatasaray scoring 15 of those.
Tottenham enters the match following a strong 4-1 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League, where they held 51% possession and took 16 shots. Goals came from Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke (who scored twice), and James Maddison.
Despite this solid performance, Tottenham has shown some defensive vulnerabilities, conceding in five of their last six matches with seven goals allowed overall.
For Galatasaray, manager Okan Buruk will be without Ismail Jakobs due to a muscle strain. Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou will miss Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Wilson Odobert (thigh), and Djed Spence (groin).
Prediction
This looks to be an evenly matched game with both sides likely to score. A 2-2 draw appears likely, promising an exciting contest.
