GALATASARAY V SCHALKE 04 PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Galatasaray are top of the Turkish Super Lig with 43 points from 22 matches.  They have a 7 point lead over second placed Besiktas and look set to retain the title they won last season.  They have been in some fine form recently with 3 wins and a draw from their last 4 matches.  To qualify for this stage Galatasaray finished 2^nd in their group behind Manchester United, with 10 points from 6 matches. 

Schalke are struggling domestically and are 8^th in the Bundesliga with 30 points from 22 matches.  This leaves them a huge 27 points behind leaders Bayern Munich and 7 points off the final Champions League spot which was their minimum goal for this season.  They have not won in 4 matches, with 2 draws and 2 defeats in the run up to this game.  Schalke have been excellent in this tournament up to now and stayed undefeated on their way to winning their group ahead of Arsenal.

The big news for Galatasaray recently is the signings of Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder who they hope can push them on to the latter stages in Europe.  Neither player comes cheap so it is an expensive gamble for the club and they need to at least get through this round to justify it.

GALATASARAY V SCHALKE 04 PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Galatasaray are favourites for this match as the home side.  Their recent form is much better than Schalke’s but for a pair of games in the knockout stages often form goes out the window and the underlying quality of the teams show through.  The question for Galatasaray will be how their new marque signings will fit into the fit and whether they can add the quality needed.

Back a Galatasaray win at 2.30 with BetVictor.

Alternatively back the underdog away side Schalke at 3.50 with bet365.
