Galatasaray vs Molde: UEFA Champions League Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

After a stunning display of five goals in the previous week’s opening match, Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray and Norwegian champions Molde are set to face off once again in the second leg of their Champions League qualifying playoff on Tuesday. Okan Buruk’s squad returned from Scandinavia with a 3-2 victory and now have the opportunity to finish what they initiated at Aker Stadion as they welcome Molde to Istanbul.

Although it might have seemed like an unequal matchup on paper, Molde’s impressive journey to the final stages of Champions League qualifying was not a stroke of luck. Erling Moe’s team startled Galatasaray just eight minutes into the first leg with a header from Martin Ellingsen. As expected, Galatasaray managed to regain control through goals from Sergio Oliveira and Mauro Icardi. However, Kristoffer Haugen’s goal appeared to lead the game towards a draw in Norway, until Icardi’s assist enabled Fredrik Midtsjo to score the fifth and final goal deep into injury time during the second half.

With just 90 minutes standing between them and a return to the Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign, Galatasaray had a restful weekend to prepare for the crucial European clash on Tuesday. On the other hand, Molde’s players are also well-rested in anticipation of their chance at redemption. Since their lone appearance in the Champions League group stage during the 2019-20 season, Molde has only secured three victories in high-level European matches away from home in subsequent unsuccessful qualification attempts. However, Moe’s squad will still have the opportunity to enter the Europa League if their ability to make a comeback fails in Istanbul.

Probable Lineups

Galatasaray’s probable starting lineup: Muslera, Boey, Nelsson, Bayram, Angelino, Torreira, Olivera, Ziyech, Mertens, Akturkoglu, Icardi

Molde’s probable starting lineup: Karlstrom, Ellingsen, Bjornbak, Haugan, Knudtzon, Breivik, Mannsverk, Eriksen, Haugen, Eikrem, Brynhildsen
