Goal Scorer:
Galatasaray
Galatasaray have been boosted by the news that Hakim Ziyech is back in training after injury, while ex-Arsenal man Lucas Torreira, who suffered a second-half injury in the Manchester United game, but has now fully recovered and started his side’s win over Besiktas, leaving Okan Buruk with a fully-fit squad to choose from for this match.
Buruk could stick to the same starting lineup from their win over Besiktas last time out. Fernando Muslera is an automatic starter in between the sticks, with the visitors lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him.
Buruk has seen his high-flyers score in each of their last 13 matches across all competitions, and they possess one of Europe’s most in-form strikers, Mauro Icardi, who will be flanked by tricky wingers Tete and Wilfried Zaha.
The high-quality attack will be completed by Turkish international Kerem Akturkoglu, who operates as the playmaker in the number 10 position. In midfield, Lucas Torreira and Kerem Demirbay provide the required creativity and tenacity.
The Turks strengthened their defence in the summer with the signing of Colombian centre-back Davinson Sanchez, also in line for a starting role in the middle of the defence alongside Abdulkerim Bardakci. Angelino should start at left back, whereas Sacha Boey will start on the opposite side, meaning Victor Nelsson misses out.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Muslera; Boey, Sanchez, Bardacki, Angelino; Demirbay, Torreira; Tete, Akturkoglu, Zaha; Icardi
Bayern Munich
Although Manuel Neuer has returned to full training, it seems unlikely that the 37-year-old will unseat deputy Sven Ulreich anytime soon and should be named on the bench. Raphael Guerreiro (thigh) and Dayot Upamecano (hamstring) remain sidelined for the visitors, while Serge Gnabry (arm), Gabriel Marusic (ACL), and Tarek Buchmann (hamstring) all remain doubts for the midweek.
Midfielder Leon Gortezka will be assessed after he broke his finger, and if he misses out, Konrad Laimer may move into midfield to partner Joshua Kimmich in the engine room. With Noussair Mazraoui out with a muscle issue, Bouna Sarr could deputise at right-back.
Matthijs de Ligt was fit enough to join Kim Min-jae in central defence at the weekend, while a marauding Alphonso Davies should continue at left-back. Serge Gnabry is nearing his return from a fractured forearm. But his status is unknown as of yet, which means star striker Harry Kane should be supported by Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman, with Jamal Musiala
Kane, in particular, is enjoying a fine start to the season, scoring ten goals across all competitions. The England striker will surely be the one to watch this Tuesday.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ulreich; Sarr, Kim, Upamecano, Davies; Laimer, Kimmich; Coman, Musiala, Sane; Kane
Prediction: Galatasaray 2-3 Bayern Munich
