Mannnn I was boutta be cheeky and say Giroud anytime scorer but this Europa League match fixture caught my eye. Sparta Prague head to Galatasaray for the 1st leg of the Europa Knockout stage.
Galatasaray faced a tough Champions League draw and while they still boasted offensive power, are now in the Europa knockouts. In all about one group CL match, Galatasaray scored while not conceding. Winning this match will be Galatasaray’s 10th straight win at home. While they will be missing Ziyech, they have plenty of depth to carry the weight and take advantage of a squad that hasn’t had much competitive action.
Sparta had to fight their way out of the Conference league and in the Europa Knockouts by the hairs on their back. They’ve had good recent form but only one game this month and some friendlies, since the holiday break.
Last time they’ve faced each-other was in group stage CL in 97/98
where Galatasaray won 2-0 and on the bench was Buruk, Galatasaray’s current manager.1 @1,70 Bet365
