Galatasaray v Tottenham: UEFA Europa League preview

Tottenham Hotspur are a team on the up under manager Ange Postecoglou and will be looking to make it four wins on the spin in the UEFA Europa League when they travel to Galatasaray in the early hours of Friday morning.

Having beaten Qarabag, Ferencvaros and AZ Alkmaar in their opening three games, it’s been the perfect start for Postecoglou’s side in Europe.

Winning their last two outings against Manchester City in the EFL Cup and Aston Villa in the Premier League, Spurs should be full of confidence heading into their trip to RAMS Park.

Spurs finding their rhythm

Inconsistency plagued Tottenham earlier in the season but the team look to be moving in the right direction on that front in recent games.

Stunning Pep Guardiola’s Man City in the EFL Cup, the Lilywhites have kept themselves in with a chance of collecting a rare piece of domestic silverware this season.

A 4-1 win over Aston Villa was a standout performance in the Premier League last time out to boost Spurs’ hopes of a top-four finish.

With focus switching to European matters this week, the UEFA Europa League has been a welcomed distraction for Tottenham this season.

A perfect record after the first three rounds, Friday’s game in Turkey will be Spurs’ toughest test of the competition so far this term.

Galatasaray should never be underestimated

Currently on a four-game winning streak in all competitions, Galatasaray will provide stern opposition for Postecoglou’s men this week.

Manager Okan Buruk has guided Gala to the top of the Turkish Super Lig table, with three points between themselves and second-place Samsunspor with also a game in hand.

Unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions, Galatasaray will look forward to testing themselves against a Spurs side who are 4.50 favourites to win the UEFA Europa League this season.

Galatasaray are priced at 17.00 to lift the UEFA Europa League Trophy this term and the Turkish giants should certainly not be underestimated going into Friday’s showdown with Spurs.

With the likes of Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi in attack, Tottenham will have to be on their guard if they are to come away from Istanbul with the three points.
