Galatasaray is coming to Barcelona in big trouble for the game against the reborn Barcelona. The Turkish club has a lot of problems this season, although they fought for the title last season, this season they are fighting for survival, so I think that this competition is not their priority at the moment. Galatasaray brought several players in the half-season, Gomis came from Al Hilal and will certainly be a good reinforcement, but the problem for Galatasaray is their defense, which accepts goals too easily. The guests are receiving a lot of goals even against some much weaker Turkish teams, so I think that their defense will have a lot of problems tonight against the "new" Barcelona. By hiring Xavi, the host changed the club's policy and gave a chance to the players from the youth school, and although he did not have much success at the beginning, Xavi revived the team and Barcelona is playing really well now. Barcelona knocked out Napoli, they played great away and won 4-2, and we all know that Napoli very rarely loses at home. Barcelona hired Aubameyang and Torres in the winter transfer window and it turned out to be a great solution as the two of them are cooperating very well on the field and have scored a lot of goals since their arrival at Camp Nou. Barcelona will surely want to win a trophy this season, so I think they will be very motivated today to win and solve the issue of the winner in the first game. Barcelona is again playing tika-taka, morale is high in the team right now, so i expect 3-0 or 4-0 win today as Galatasaray needs to focus on domestic league, so i dont think they will push too much tonight.

My prediction;

Outcome: Barcelona to win -2.5

Goals: over 3.5
