Set for a potential thriller in Istanbul, Turkish champions Galatasaray continue their Champions League campaign against Spanish champions Barcelona.

Barca have been rampant and relentless at the start of this season, with the Blaugrana notching another three goals at the weekend as they eased past Getafe 3-0 to remain comfortably at the top of La Liga.

Hansi Flick’s Catalans have now scored 39 goals in nine matches across all competitions, with five of those coming in a 5-1 victory against Feyenoord in their Champions League opener at Camp Nou last month.

Galatasaray reached the Round of 16 of this competition last season with an impressive home record that was wholly undermined by performances on the road in Europe, and their away form continued at the start of this Champions League this season.

That is because they took an early lead at Estadio Jose Alvalade against Portuguese giants Sporting CP a few weeks ago before succumbing to a 3-1 loss.

Galatasaray vs. Barcelona prediction

We expect Barca to come out on top in a fun watch for the neutral.

With the extremely high line of Barcelona’s defence, and Galatasaray’s hostile home crowd, the Turkish giants may well get some joy in this one and punish their visitors on occasion.

However, the sheer firepower of the visitors, even without the electric Raphinha, should still come out on top in Istanbul.

Score Prediction: Galatasaray 1, Barcelona (+900 at FanDuel)

Galatasaray vs. Barcelona best bets

We’ve picked four betting angles for Galatasaray vs. Barcelona. Check them out and explore the key match facts below before placing your bets.

A high-scoring watch for the neutral is to be expected, not just because of the rampant visitors but also as a result of Galatasaray being much stronger at home than they are away from home.

Backing a few goals in any Barca game is always a decent bet but especially when they face opposition that boast genuine stars of their own in attack, such as Victor Osimhen.

Having missed their Champions League opener against Sporting due to injury, Nigeria international striker Osimhen will be a potent threat against Barca, be it in behind or simply pinning the defenders, and backing him to get a shot on target in an open game seems a good shout.

• Anthony Gordon to have a shot on target (-300 with FanDuel)

With Raphinha out, Anthony Gordon may well be asked to play up front for Barca here and, after an impressive international break with England and then scoring his first Barcelona goal at the weekend against Getafe, the former Newcastle United man will be full of confidence as Barca head to Turkey.

• Gabriel Sara to commit a foul (-650)

Former Norwich City man Gabriel Sara is expected to be as combative as ever in the middle of the park and backing him to commit at least one foul as he perhaps gets the run around from Pedri. Rodri is a decent value bet here, too.
