FC Barcelona vs Galatasaray: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results - preview

Barcelona entertain Galatasaray in the last-16 of the Europa League this evening.

The kind of game that could quite easily have been a Champions League fixture, Barca approach with confidence.

While Xavi has a long way to go if he’s going to restore former glories at the Camp Nou, Barca’s form of late has been particularly impressive.

Unbeaten in nine games heading into the clash with another giant of the European game, they could still feasibly end the season with a trophy.

Given where they were towards the end of the Ronald Koeman era and in the wake of Lionel Messi’s departure, Xavi must be applauded.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Barcelona vs Galatasaray team news

Midfield sensation Gavi will miss the game through the suspension while Barca remain without Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti.

Elsewhere, the fearsome attacking trident of Ferran Torres, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Adama Traore are expected to continue.

For the away side, Arda Turan will likely be denied a return to his former club as a result of a groin injury.

Barcelona vs Galatasaray prediction

With Barca back in the goals and facing a side to have conceded 41 times in the League already, it’s difficult to look past a comfortable home win.

Barcelona to win 2-0.
