The UEFA Champions League returns with a big game featuring Italian giants Juventus and their Turkish counterparts Galatasaray. This clash on Tuesday will be hosted in Istanbul, as the two start their battle for a place in the last 16 of the competition. Home team Galatasaray will be banking on playing in familiar territory, gunning for the first-leg advantage. We have the prediction for this match below.
Both sides going into this match will have ghosts to overcome. Gala are in the Champions League knockouts for the first time in 12 years. On the other hand, Juventus have lost all their last five UCL knockout ties.
To get to this stage, Galatasaray finished 20th in the league stage, while Juventus were 13th. This match is a repeat of their 2013/14 group stage meeting in UEFA CL. Cimbon advanced to the last 16 at the expense of Juventus back then. It was the last time Galatasaray progressed to the knockouts.

Galatasaray - Juventus: Form Analysis
Ten points earned in the league phase were enough to earn Galatasaray a spot in the knockout playoffs. They finished 20th and will play in the CL knockouts for the first time since 2014. History in this fixture will give them a tinge of confidence, having gone undefeated the three times they hosted Juventus.
Those yielded two wins and a draw. The last time Gala hosted this game, they won 1-0 and will hope to win again, building on a strong recent run. Ahead of this outing, Cimbon are on four straight wins. In the latest, they thrashed Eyuspor 5-1, scoring 3+ for the fourth straight game, and retained their leadership of the Super Lig.
Juventus and Galatasaray are meeting in the UCL knockouts for the first time.
Juventus have been off color lately and are likely to struggle in this encounter. Their Serie A title challenge took another heavy blow as they lost 3-2 to league leaders Inter Milan on Saturday. In the Champions League, they haven't been at their best either.
The Old Lady wrapped up the league stage with 13 points after a 0-0 draw with Monaco. They finished 13th in the standings and seven places ahead of Gala. With that, the Bianconeri will be hoping to end their unconvincing run in the UCL knockouts. In the last five such matches, Juventus suffered five straight losses.

Galatasaray & Juventus Squad Analysis
Galatasaray plays the first leg at home and will be tempted to throw caution to the wind. Presented with two in-form forwards in Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi, manager Okan Buruk might choose to start them both. With six goals, Osimhen is three away from a new record for Gala in a single UCL campaign.
Meanwhile, Icardi hasn’t scored in the Champions League but has 13 goals this season and comes here with an xG of 9.69. These two forwards have had successful stints in Italy and will have an idea of how to deal with Juventus. Mario Lemina, a former Juve midfielder, will offer the depth for the hosts.
Fighting a betting scandal, Galatasaray’s Metahan Baltaci remains suspended.
Juventus will hope to welcome back Frenchman Khephren Thuram, who missed the Inter game with a bruise. The Italians will consider that a major boost in their attack, having Dusan Vlahovic out of this game.
Arkadiusz Milik remains a long-term absentee, but Jonathan David and Kenan Yildiz will add to the attacking punch. David, carrying the weight of leading the attack, will hope to cash in on Yildiz’s creativity. The Turkish forward has created 12 chances this season in the UCL and had four goal involvements.
