Stuttgart are tipped in the double chance market for their fixture against Galatasaray, based on their impressive away record of four wins in their last five trips. While Galatasaray are the most dominant team in Turkey, they have a history of underperforming against top European opposition. This combination of Stuttgart's strong away form and Galatasaray's continental struggles makes the German side a recommended selection with the added security of the double chance market.

Stuttgart showed how dangerous they can be on the counter-attack last weekend, beating Leverkusen 4-2 away from home. The Swabians remain unbeaten in the Champions League, and I expect them to grab at least a point in Istanbul. 

Key Stats  


  • Galatasaray are winless in 8 of their last 11 matches (Champions League). 
  • Stuttgart have won 4 of their last 5 away matches. 
  • Stuttgart are unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches (Champions League). 

No Previous Meetings 


This is going to be the first head to head match between Galatasaray and Stuttgart. 

Cimbom Dominating the Super Lig 


Galatasaray had a rough start to the UEFA Champions League main stage, losing to Sporting Lisbon 3-1 in Portugal, then also getting outplayed at home by Barcelona 4-1 in mid-October. 

Cimbom kept their playoff hopes alive two weeks ago after claiming a bit unexpected 4-2 road victory against Lille, Yunus Akgun, Victor Osimhen, Alexey Batrakov and Nabil Bentaleb (own goal) appearing on the scoresheet. 

Okan Buruk's side played two domestic matches since, claiming a huge 2-1 home win against archrivals Fenerbahce (Osimhen netted a brace) and cruising past Konyaspor 4-0 on the road last weekend. 

Great Start for the Visitors 


Stuttgart are very close to clinching a spot in the UCL playoffs after securing seven points from their three games so far. 

The Swabians kicked things off with a 3-1 home victory against Viking where Ermedin Demirovic netted a hat-trick, then defeated Slovan 3-0 in Bratislava, allowing just one shot on target to the opposition. 

They were more dangerous than Atletico Madrid in the third round but had to settle for a 1-1 draw, ending this clash with 1.59-0.89 expected goals and 18-10 shots. 

Sebastian Hoeness' side suffered unexpected Bundesliga defeats to Hamburg 1-0 and Monchengladbach 3-2 recently, but bounced back last weekend with a 4-2 road win at Leverkusen. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Galatasaray (4-2-3-1) Ugurcan Cakir; Roland Sallai, Davinson Sanchez, Wilfried Singo, Eren Elmali; Lucas Torreira, Gabriel Sara; Yunus Akgun, Aleksey Batrakov, Rafael Leao; Victor Osimhen

Central defender Abdulkerim Bardakci serves a suspension while Okan Buruk have no other injury or suspension concerns ahead of this match.

Stuttgart (3-4-2-1) Dennis Seimen; Luca Jaquez, Jeff Chabot, Ramon Hendriks; Jamie Leweling, Grischa Promel, Atakan Karazor, Chris Fuhrich; Bilal El Khannouss, Deniz Undav; Ermedin Demirovic

Angelo Stiller recovers from a groin injury, defender Josha Vagnoman remains sidelined with a hamstring issue, and Dan-Axel Zagadou stays out alongside Tiago Tomas, Leo Sauer, and Justin Diehl.

Verdict

Stuttgart are performing better on the road than at home this season, winning four of their last five trips. Galatasaray are the most dominant force in Turkey but struggle against big guns in Europe, so I am backing the German side in the double chance market.
