AZ vs Galatasaray Prediction

Just three weeks after beating Fenerbahce 3-1 on matchday four, AZ now face their arch-rivals Galatasaray. It has been a mixed time for AZ as  while they come off a 2-1 win at Sparta Rotterdam last time out, their form prior to that has been pretty poor.

Before they beat Fenerbahce, they has lost six and drawn one of their last seven in all competitions and now they are looking to get back on track. 

That will not be easy against a formidable Gala side who have won their last seven matches in all competitions.

Against Spurs in the last round, they lost Mauro Icardi to injury as he suffered a knee injury that will keep him out for months.

They do however have plenty of strength and depth with Victor Osimhen and Michy Batshuayi offering serious firepower.

Defensively there are questions about the Turkish side and despite winning the last seven, they have only kept one clean sheet in their last five.

We like them to get a result here but we are even stronger on both teams scoring in this one.
