Galatasaray vs Barcelona: Match preview
Galatasaray have once again started the new Turkish Super Lig season as favourites. They have gone unbeaten in their opening five rounds, winning four of those matches. Their only defeat came against Trabzonspor, who beat them 4-0. Despite that setback, Gala sit top of the table with 16 points after seven rounds. Their lead over the team in second place is just one point. In the UEFA Champions League, the Turkish giants began their campaign with a 3-1 defeat to Sporting.
Barcelona have made an incredible start to the season. The Catalan giants have yet to lose a match or drop points in a draw. Barça have won all nine of their matches this campaign. Almost all of those victories have been emphatic, often by a wide margin: 5-0 against Elche, 5-2 against Rayo, 5-0 against Valencia, 5-1 against Feyenoord, 7-2 against Racing, and 3-0 against Getafe. The team have won by a two-goal margin in just three matches. It is a fantastic run from a side that are among the leading contenders in both La Liga and the Champions League.

- Galatasaray: Cakir; Gul, Sanchez, Bardakci, Jakobs; Torreira, Sara, Akgun; Sane, Yilmaz, Leao

Prediction
I think Barcelona can extend their incredible winning streak. I recommend betting on Barcelona to score over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.59.
