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

Galatasaray welcome Barcelona to Istanbul tonight for a delicately-posed Europa League last-16 tie.

A stalemate at the Camp Nou left the last-16 tie in the balance and a fierce atmosphere in Istanbul will greet Xavi’s men.

The Blaugrana comfortably downed Osasuna on the weekend yet Gala gained momentum with a 2-1 derby win over Besiktas, courtesy of Kerem Aktyrkoglu’s brace.

Galatasaray vs Barcelona prediction

A goalless draw in the first leg suggests Gala are in with a big shot at knocking out the tournament favourites - and they are.

Barcelona to win, 2-0.
