NK Olimpija Ljubljana vs Galatasaray: UEFA Champions League Qualifiers Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

In the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, NK Olimpija Ljubljana of Slovenia will host Galatasaray at Stadion Stozice on Tuesday. NK Olimpija Ljubljana advanced to this stage by securing a 3-2 aggregate victory against Ludogorets in the second qualifying round, while Galatasaray also progressed with a similar aggregate scoreline, triumphing over Zalgiris.

Last season, Olimpija clinched the Prva Liga title, marking their first triumph since 2017-18, amassing 73 points, six ahead of second-placed Celje, and 11 clear of outgoing champions Maribor. Led by Joao Henriques, they dominated the domestic league, securing the title well before the season’s close despite losing the final three matches. Progressing through qualifiers, they overcame Valmeira and emerged as underdogs in the last round, securing a crucial 1-1 draw at Stadium Ludogorets Arena and a dramatic 2-1 win at home with Timi Max Elsnik’s brace. After a 2-1 loss to Koper, Olimpija rebounded with a commanding 5-0 victory against Rogaska, placing sixth early in the current season. Notably, they won both home matches in previous rounds and hold a three-game unbeaten streak at Stadion Stozice.

Turkish League victors Galatasaray aim to reenter the Champions League main draw, last achieved in 2019-20 when they comfortably reached the group stage. Crowned champions for the 21st time with 88 points, they concluded the season on a six-game winning streak, scoring 15 goals and conceding just one. Across 36 matches, they suffered only four losses, recording 28 wins and four draws, excelling as the top-performing away team. Having faced Bulgarian champions Ludogorets in a previous qualifying round, they secured a hard-fought 2-2 draw in the first leg, clinching a 1-0 win in the second leg. Despite unimpressive preseason form, Galatasaray emerges as strong favorites, confident of establishing a first-leg lead at Stadion Stozice.
