Our Analysis: Form of Both Teams
Galatasaray welcome Tottenham to Istanbul on Thursday night, with both teams aiming to build on their respective strong starts in the Europa League.
Okan Buruk’s side are the reigning champions of Turkey, but they were beaten by Young Boys in the qualifying round of the Champions League. Their goal is to go deep into the Europa League after making a good start to the league phase.
Galatasaray have made an unbeaten start to their domestic season and enjoy a three-point lead at the top as a result. They are currently five points ahead of Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce.
Ange Postecoglou finished 5th in his first season in the Premier League. Tottenham missed out on Champions League football by finishing behind Aston Villa, but they appear set to compete for a place in the top four once again. However, the Europa League may be Spurs’ best route into Europe’s elite club competition.
Tottenham are the favourites to win the Europa League and Ange has made a habit of winning a trophy in his second season at every club he’s been at. Spurs’ last trophy came back in 2008, so a European triumph would mark a highly successful season, regardless of their league finish.

A Share of the Spoils
Our Galatasaray vs Tottenham predictions on the 1x2 market are for the match to end in a draw.
Tottenham are brimming with confidence, having fought back from a goal down to secure a comprehensive 4-1 win over Aston Villa at the weekend. Ange Postecoglou’s side have lost just four of their 15 matches across all competitions this season.
However, Okan Buruk’s team are also in fine form. They are unbeaten in their last 11 competitive matches and have also secured a 2-1 win over Besiktas, avenging their defeat in the Turkish Super Cup. Moreover, Galatasaray have lost just two of their 10 home matches in Europe since the start of last season.

Johnson Enjoying a Hot Streak
Brennan Johnson has emerged as a key player for Tottenham this season. The talented Welshman has found the magic touch in front of goal, much to Ange Postecoglou’s delight.
Johnson has scored eight goals in his last 12 matches for club and country. His versatility has been a huge asset for Tottenham, but the improving numbers in front of goal make him a vital cog in the attack.
Over the past 12 months, the Welsh winger has recorded a non-penalty xG of 0.47 per 90 minutes, which puts him in the 97th percentile by that metric when compared with all attacking midfielders and wingers across Europe’s top five leagues.
