Galatasaray vs Astana UEFA Champions League Match

Important game we have in the Astana Arena, when under the orders of Swedish referee Martin Strömbergsson, and Astana teams leave Galatasaray three points in the direct fight to stay alive in European competition.

As is known in advance and how was the first day of the UEFA Champions League, Group C, where Benfica and Atletico Madrid are the candidates to advance to the knockout stages, while between these two teams The third place that allows the UEFA Europa League will be played.

Thus we have on the one hand to those run by the Bulgarian Stanimir Stoilov, Astana box looking to make history in this competition getting their first win in the group stage, it is true that already in the pre beat teams like Maribor, HJK and APOEL, group stage but has failed to win.

The debut was not good for them, during his visit to Portuguese champions Benfica, given that after holding the result in the first half, and the second were passed over and the Portuguese won 2-0 box.

But they know that the important thing is to get the three points at home and with the direct rival as Galatasaray, yes, Stoilov will be without Patrick Twumasi who remains suspended, while Yeldos Akhmetov was injured in the game against the Aktobe and may not be in the game.

Meanwhile, led by Hamza Hamzaoğlu are not having a good start to the season, the box Galatasaray wants to erase the bad image displayed on the previous tournament UEFA where he finished last in a group formed by Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Anderlecht ; but the start in Champions League this season has not been any good, since that lost at home to Atletico Madrid 0-2 and as this was a result that was not taken into account.

Things in the local tournament have begun to change a little after two consecutive victories, 0-1 against Trabzonspor and Gaziantepspor 2-1 they have done up to fourth place; and now he wants to build on that success during his visit to Astana.

Hamzaoglu for this game, it will be without star striker Burak Yilmaz due to a hamstring injury, while Hamit Altintop has a knee problem.

But quite apart from this, we believe that a team with a long history as Galatasaray can not pass up this opportunity against a tough team like Astana, but does not have a staff like the steam table, with players like the German Podolski The Dutchman Sneijder, the Spanish Jose Rodriguez or the same Turkish Bulut.

Therefore, from our humble position, we do not see Galatasaray lost and therefore this option without a tie in their favor.
