Tottenham Hotspur fly to Turkey this week ahead of their Europa League clash against Galatasaray, and Pascal Chimbonda offers his prediction as to who will come out on top.
Galatasaray welcome Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are currently second in the League Phase standings, behind Lazio only on goal difference. Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to maintain that 100 per cent record on Thursday evening.
Galatasaray have a mean record from set-pieces so far this season and Tottenham have proved fragile at defending them, so that could be something to keep an eye on.
Spurs are also without Micky Van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert, and more due to a fresh injury crisis running through the squad.
Heung-min Son made his return to the starting line-up last time out against Aston Villa. However, he only managed 55 minutes before being replaced.
Ange Postecoglou may be tempted to hand starts to young duo Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear in order to avoid burnout for the likes of Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke.
Galatasaray vs Tottenham score prediction
Pascal Chimbonda thinks Tottenham will give up their 100 per cent record by dropping two points away to Galatasaray. We, meanwhile, are backing a much-changed Spurs XI to get the job done.
