In their first group-stage match of the 2023-24 Champions League, Galatasaray, the renowned Turkish giants, will host Copenhagen, the reigning champions of Denmark, at RAMS Park this Wednesday night. Both teams are considered underdogs in Group A, which also includes the six-time European champions Bayern Munich and the three-time winners Manchester United. After a three-year absence from the Champions League, Galatasaray has made a return this season. They successfully came through the qualifiers, defeating FK Zalgiris, NK Olimpija Ljubljana, and Molde, with a 5-3 aggregate win against Molde in the playoff round last month.

Under the leadership of Okan Buruk, Galatasaray has had an impressive start to the new season, maintaining an unbeaten streak of 10 games in all competitions. They have won their last six games, scoring a total of 15 goals. The previous meeting between Galatasaray and Copenhagen in the Champions League group stage was in the 2013-14 season. Galatasaray won 3-1 on their home turf but suffered a 1-0 loss to Copenhagen when playing away almost a month later. Similar to Galatasaray, Copenhagen had to go through Champions League qualifiers to secure a spot in this season’s group stage for the second consecutive year. They defeated Breidablik, Sparta Prague, and Rakow Czestochowa over two legs.

Copenhagen, who clinched their 15th Danish top-flight title last season, started the new campaign strongly with six wins in their first eight league games, positioning them at the top of the Superliga table. However, Jacob Neestrup’s team has experienced a slight dip in form recently, with only one win in their last four matches in all competitions, including a 2-2 draw against Nordsjaelland last weekend. Winning on Wednesday may prove to be a challenge for Copenhagen, as they have won only one of their last 12 away matches in the Champions League (excluding qualifiers). On the other hand, Galatasaray has lost just one of their last nine European games when playing on their home turf.

Galatasaray’s probable starting lineup: Muslera, Boey, Nelsson, Bardakci, Angelino, Ndombele, Torreira, Tete, Mertens, Akturkoglu, Icardi
