Team Form
Atletico Madrid enter this fixture with a mixed run of two wins and three losses in their last five matches (L,W,W,L,L). A heavy 5-1 defeat at Villarreal was followed by a 1-0 home win over Girona. They then won 2-1 at Osasuna before back-to-back losses: 0-1 at home to Celta Vigo and 1-0 away at Arsenal in the Champions League. The home side has struggled for consistency, winning just two of their last five across all competitions.
Galatasaray also show inconsistency, alternating losses and wins in their last five (L,W,L,W,L). They suffered a 1-0 away loss at Kasimpasa, then thrashed Antalyaspor 4-2 at home. A heavy 4-1 defeat at Samsunspor was answered by a convincing 3-0 home win over Fenerbahce, but a surprising 0-2 home cup loss to Genclerbirligi continued the pattern. With only two wins in five, the Turkish side travel without momentum.
