Champions League - Galatasaray v Steaua Bucharest

GALATASARAY- STEAUA BUCHAREST

Two teams with experience and history. Financially this game means a lot to both sides and im expecting a tight clash here. Galatasaray missed out last year so will be keen to get back into the group stages where they have been a tough side to beat, especially at home. They have a fantastic record in these qualifying rounds and despite winning the Turkish league last year, brought in German coach Michael Skibbe to help them out for occasions specifically like this.

Steaua are no mugs either but had a disappointing campaign last year where they only recorded 1 point, a 1 – 1 draw at home to Slavia Prague. Goals remain to be their biggest problem and they could only manage one goal in their three home games last year in the group stages. Janos Szekely is their winger and he is missing tonight and his absence will limit their creativity going forward.

All in all I see Gala taking a lead to the away leg, and most likely a clean sheet as well.
