The first of two encounters in the Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round, as the hometeam Olimpija will try to edge Galatasaray in their own ballpark.

These teams have little in common geographically as Galatasaray have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
