In Group D of the Champions League, on Tuesday, November 6, the Schalke 04 – Galatasaray SK will be played. The match will take place on “Veltins Arena”, starting at 20:00. A victory for the host team would be equivalent to Champions League qualifying in the spring.
The “Miners” managed to get away from the red zone of the Bundesliga after the victory with Hannover, score 3-1. It was only the 4th success in the 15 matches played this season in all competitions. Mark Uth also contributed, scoring in the 85th minute after his transfer from Hoffenheim. With the high morale, Tedesco’s band now targets a new victory, a victory that would be equivalent to qualifying in the European Spring. But in the six games played so far on home ground, Schalke has scored two wins, a draw and three defeats. In five of these, the table has undergone no more than two changes.
On the other hand, “lions” are not in their best moment. In the last round of the championship, they drew with Fenerbahce, score 2-2, to four consecutive games without victory. And that despite the fact that in the 49th minute, they were already leading 2-0. Remaining four points behind Basaksehir leader, Galata is now turning its attention to confrontation on the Veltins Arena, having real shamans to an unspeakable skill. However, the course on the foreign land was more than modest. In the six moves so far he has scored two victories and four defeats. Moreover, in each defeat, the offensive did not even find the way to the opposing goal.
In spite of several good times, the tournament ended underscored, scoring 0-0. It was the second result of equality between the two bands after the one in the winter of 2013, also from Istanbul, score 1-1.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.72
