Match info: UEFA Europa League

Venue: Rams Park, Istanbul

Date: Thursday, 7^th November

Time: 6:45 pm Nigerian time

Seeking to make it four wins from four in the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur travel to Istanbul to face Galatasaray at Rams Park on Thursday evening.

While Spurs currently sit second in the 36-team table, Galatasaray are only three places and two points further back in fifth spot.

Head-to-head:

• These two sides have never faced each other before.

Form:

• Galatasaray in all competitions: D-W-W-W-W
• Tottenham in all competitions: W-W-L-W-W

Team News:

• Galatasaray may again miss left-back Ismail Jakobs due to injury, and after their strong showing against Beşiktaş, their lineup is expected to stay mostly unchanged. They are going with the vibe: Don’t change something if it’s not broken.
• Spurs, however, will be without Micky van de Ven, Wilson Odobert, and Djed Spence, with Richarlison doubtful after his recent injury against Aston Villa. James Maddison should return to the starting lineup, while young talents Archie Gray and Mikey Moore could also get in some minutes.

Player(s) to watch:

• Victor Osimhen has found his second act in Galatasaray and he’s trying to right the wrongs from his time in Naples. On loan for now, but if he goes about contributing goals, four goals and three assists in seven games so far, it won’t be long before the Turkish giants would want to make his move permanent.
• Heung-min Son has been the Captain that Ange Postecoglou might have wanted him to be. Spurs have not exactly been firing domestically but Son has been producing the goods. Maybe, he could do it again against Galatasaray to extend his team’s run to four wins out of four.
