Real Madrid vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting tips
Real needs a new win over weak Galatasaray to enforce hibernation in the Champions League. Will the Royal team finally win another home victory?
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid is still not running as hoped for when Zinedine Zidane returns. In the competition, the Royal Dutchman failed to seize the lead last weekend, after Barcelona had fallen on a visit to Levante. In own Bernabeu, no goals were scored in the encounter against Real Betis Sevilla. Real is now together with Barcelona and Real Sociedad on 22 points.
The team has four points in the Champions League. On the opening day there was a 3-0 loss to league-leader Paris Saint Germain, after which they narrowly escaped a home defeat against Club Brugge. Two weeks ago, the first victory was achieved when visiting Galatasaray.
Zidane hopes that better times will come for his team, now that the infirmary has flowed pretty well. Toni Kroos, Isco, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale, among others, have missed out on the necessary games in recent months, but they can probably all play. Chances are, however, that Rodrygo will be preferred over Bale. Nacho and Asensio are the only long-term injured.
Galatasaray:
Galatasaray has a very disappointing season. In the Turkish Super Lig the Fatih Terim team won only four of its first ten league games and is in seventh place with sixteen points. However, because all teams in Turkey beat each other this season, the gap with league-leader Alanyaspor is only three points.
In the Champions League, Cim Bom seems almost hopeless for the winter. The team did not score a single goal for this campaign. A drawless draw was scored against Club Brugge and Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain were lost with minimal difference. Making goals in the Champions League is almost an impossible task for Gala. No fewer than seven of the last eight CL games were closed without a goal.
Terim hopes that Falcão will get fit again, as the Colombian could only play three times this season. Ryan Babel is the team’s top scorer with four goals. He will form an attack duo with the Romanian striker Florian Andone.
