Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Tottenham
Sparkles will be flying when Galatasaray and Tottenham square off against each other at Rams Park in the Europa League derby. Galatasaray are on a four-game winning run in all competitions and they are brimming with confidence following a 2-1 win over Besiktas in the Super Lig derby. Defender Kaan Ayhan limped off with injury in the last league match, with Elias Jelert likely to step up. The good news for the hosts is that key attacker Victor Osimhen has overcome his injury.
Spurs, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Aston Villa 4-1 in their last Premier League game, but seeing that Ange Postecoglou is going to mix the squad against Galatasaray, we predict that the Turks are going to pick up all three points from the match. The likes of Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, and James Maddison are set to return to the starting XI, while defender Cristian Romero is unlikely to be risked after limping off with injury in the last league match. As a result, Ben Davies should be recalled to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
Highlighted Team (Galatasaray):
Over the years Galatasaray have established themselves as one of the best teams in Turkey. The Aslanlar (the Lions) were founded back in October 1905 by Ali Sami Yen and fellow students of Galatasaray High School. Ali Sami Yen himself was the club’s first president and, as a result, he was given the club’s membership No. 1.
The Gala are one of the most successful Turkish teams and it has to be noted that they won their 21st Super Lig trophy in the 2017/2018 season. The capital club collected 75 points from possible 102, with the team finishing the season three points clear of their bitter rivals Fenerbahce. Speaking of European success, Galatasaray won UEFA Cup in the 1999/2000 season, with the team beating Arsenal on penalties in the title game.
In 2000 the Lions won UEFA Super cup as they outplayed star-studded Real Madrid 2-1 at Stade Louis II in Monaco. Galatasaray play their home games at Turk Telekom Stadi and they are well known for their yellow and red jerseys.
