Galatasaray's biggest power, Mauro Icardi, was injured in the last Beşiktaş match. There is a situation where he cannot play. If he doesn't play for Galatasaray, this is good news for Bayern because we saw how good he was against Onana. He made a masterful finish for the third goal. If the probability of Bayern beating Galatasaray is 60%, I think this rate will increase to 80% without Icardi.
According to the reports I read in the media, Icardi needs rest or ice treatment. But he can still play against Bayern Munich if he feels well on match day. Galatasaray have yet to reach last season's performance in terms of team play. We are winning games thanks to individual talents like Icardi and Zaha. That's why Icardi is very important for us. If he doesn't play against Bayern Munich, our attacking diversity will be weakened. I hope he will be fit to play tomorrow. We need him a lot.
We have won our last 7 games in the Super League and in our last game we beat Beşiktaş in the league. I know that league games and Champions League games are not on the same level but we have a good winning streak and our confidence is high. I definitely think we will not be an easy opponent for Bayern Munich.
The game between this two clubs is really going to be interesting to watch, Galatasary needs to qualify by all means,and I think they Will put up a good fight against Bayern who are currently topping the group.Their group is a really competitive one,and I think in terms of qualification,Galatasary and Bayern will qualify from this group.Manchester United are not playing convincingly for me to think they will qualify with Bayern.They will be facing Copenhagen by tomorrow or next,and I am expecting that it will be very tough for them to win that game also.I can't wait to see how Bayern VS Galatasary will end tomorrow,but if I am to predict it,i'm going for a 2:2 draw.
The Bayern match will be a tough test for Galatasaray. Even a draw against a club that has won both of its group games, is the Bundesliga champion for the last eleven years, has participated in the Champions League every year and has six of these trophies in its museum would be a success for Galatasaray. I think formation, tackling and tactical interventions will mean a lot. If we look at the game plan Galatasaray have played in the last few games, including the Manchester United game, it would be a miracle to get points from Bayern. I don't think there is any need to dream and I think Galatasaray should consider Bayern as a loss and focus on the other group games and getting out of the group without getting demoralized. However, we should not forget that everything is possible in football and a possible Bayern win will take Okan Buruk's career to a different level.
