The visiting Galatasaray played their last game only four days ago, a Europa League match. That game was also an away game, at Lokomotiv Moskva. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This is a local fight, usually meaning more mental strain and significance.
