THE TEAM NEWS
GALATASARAY
Mauro Icardi is a big doubt for this one after injuring his shoulder in the weekend victory over Besiktas, and his potential absence would be a huge blow for the Turkish side.
Otherwise, Okan Buruk has a fully-fit squad at his disposal.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Muslera; Boey, Sánchez, Bardakçı, Angeliño; Torreira, Ayhan; Tetê, Aktürkoğlu, Zaha, Barış Alper Yılmaz
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Icardi (Injured)
BAYERN MUNICH
Noussair Mazraoui could be available despite recent off-the-field matters regarding his social media posts, and his inclusion could result in Konrad Laimer moving into his more familiar midfield position, particularly as Leon Goretska is doubtful.
This fixture comes a little too soon for Manuel Neuer, but the German goalkeeper is nearing a return from his long-term injury lay-off.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Ulreich; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Laimer; Sané, Musiala, Coman; Kane
UNAVAILABLE: Neuer (Injured), Gnabry (Injured), Guerreiro (Injured), Upamecano (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Goretzka (Injured), Mazraoui (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Galatasaray haven’t lost a competitive fixture since April – a run of 23 games in all competitions – so this fixture is by no means a formality for Bayern. The visitors, unbeaten themselves since their Super Cup defeat to RB Leipzig, are bursting with attacking talent though, and it would be a surprise if they didn’t find the net here. However, given Galatasaray’s form and confidence, it is not unreasonable to assume that they score themselves. With this in mind, consider both teams to score here, particularly if in-form Mauro Icardi is fit to start for the hosts.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
