Manchester City vs Galatasaray Preview

Manchester City host Galatasaray at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night for a Champions League encounter that pits two sides in contrasting form. The English champions will be eager to build on recent momentum, while the Turkish visitors arrive unbeaten in their last five matches and brimming with confidence.

City’s most recent outing delivered a much-needed 2-0 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. Prior to that, they endured back-to-back defeats, losing 1-3 away at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League and 0-2 away at Manchester United in league action. Earlier in this sequence, they won 2-0 away at Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup and demolished Exeter City 10-1 at home in the FA Cup.

Galatasaray arrive in impressive form, having won 3-1 away at Fatih Karagümrük in their most recent match. In their previous outing, they drew 1-1 at home with Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, and before that shared the points again with a 1-1 home draw against Gaziantep FK. Earlier in this sequence, they secured home victories over Kasimpasa (3-0) and won 4-1 away at Antalyaspor, maintaining an unbeaten run across all competitions.

There is no head-to-head history between these two sides, making this a fascinating first competitive meeting between the English and Turkish giants.
