Barcelona vs Galatasaray Predictions

• Barcelona are unbeaten in eight games
• Galatasaray have lost five of the previous eight meetings between the two sides
• Six of Barca’s last seven matches have included at least three goals

Barcelona in superb form

Xavi really has turned Barcelona around and they head into the first leg of this Europa League last-16 tie on the back of a four game winning run, having scored at least two goals in each of those matches.

They have had 16 outings at Camp Nou this season and lost just three times, two of which came against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, who top La Liga and the Bundesliga respectively.

Six of their last seven fixtures have contained at least three goals, including three of their last four on home soil.

Galatasaray struggling on the road

Galatasaray’s four game unbeaten run came to an end at the weekend when they lost 2-0 at Konyaspor and they head to Spain having picked up just one win in their last ten away fixtures.

They are managed by former Barca assistant Domènec Torrent, who has had eight games in charge but won just twice, with those matches containing 30 goals.

Indeed, seven of their last ten outings have included at least three goals, while the Turkish side have kept just one clean sheet in 15 attempts.

I can only see this game going one way – a heavy Barcelona win. I predict the hosts will be victorious with three or more goals in the game, selecting 3-0 as a correct score prediction.
