Last week in Istanbul, two European competition matches took place with diametrically opposite outcomes and emotions for the local fans. First, Galatasaray, as the underdog, crushed Juventus of Turin 5:2, and two days later Fenerbahce meekly lost to Nottingham Forest 0:3. Of course, for the winner of the first match in the Champions League, the future looks much brighter. Interestingly, in the first half of the match from a week earlier, Galatasaray trailed after two precise shots by Teun Koopmeiners — 1:2. However, already at the start of the second half the Turkish side managed not only to level the score, but to take the lead. When seven minutes after the score reached 3:2 there was a sending-off in Juventus, it became clear that the Turin club would not have a good time on this trip. The final score 5:2 could have been even more one-sided, but somewhere the Turkish champions were let down by accuracy, somewhere Di Gregorio came to their rescue. Bookmakers defined the home side as favorites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.51 on their victory. Juventus added to their 'good' mood on Saturday, when at home they lost to Como, coached by the famed Cesc Fabregas. Not only did this result deprive Luciano Spalletti's team of potential three points, but three of its rivals for a place in the Champions League zone of Serie A also won. Among them was Como itself. This defeat became Juventus's fifth consecutive setback. Moreover, the 'black streak' arrived unexpectedly and haunts the 'Old Lady' in all competitions. In the Champions League, after a three-goal defeat there is nowhere to retreat. It is absolutely obvious that already in the first half Juventus will try to besiege the opponent's goal. Galatasaray also lost a league match to Konya Spor. The Turkish club tried to vary the lineup, giving playing time to players who did not start in the first match against Juventus. On the road in the Champions League, Galatasaray fares much worse than at home. The team, far from its stadium in the group stage, lost to Eintracht, Monaco and Manchester City, managing to beat Ajax only away. It is unlikely Juventus will be able to overturn the three-goal deficit, but a home victory is quite possible.
