Galatasaray go up against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday in a game played out at Rams Global Stadyumu. This is their first outing this season in the group stage of the Champions League.
Galatasaray return to the Champions League after a four-year absence and hopefully, for their sake, they've improved in the meantime. In 2019, they picked up two sorry points on their way to an early exit.
FC Copenhagen return after doing decently last year in a group Sevilla, Manchester City and Dortmund. Like their Turkish hosts they have come through three qualifying rounds to get to this stage.
Galatasaray put a modest record of 1.5 goals per game over the course of their last ten matches in this tournament on display. They scored a total of 15 goals and conceded 18, giving them an average of 1.8 conceded per game. They held on for three clean sheets during this run.
FC Copenhagen are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 14 goals in the past ten outings in this tournament for an average of 1.4 a game. Their opponents scored a total of 16 goals, and while FC Copenhagen claimed a clean sheet four, they conceded an average of 1.6 per match times.
