Man City vs Galatasaray: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
Form has faltered of late, but City got back to winning ways with a 2-0 defeat of Wolves, and will hope to kick on as they host the reigning Turkish champions.
Galatasaray are holding onto top spot in the Super Lig, but have not fared quite so well in Europe, sitting 17th in the Champions League standings with just three wins to their name.
They can be reasonably confident of progression, but will also be keen to take all three points on offer and secure their place in the play-offs.

Man City vs Galatasaray prediction
City have been on shaky form of late, but have largely impressed in Europe this season despite their domestic struggles.
A comfortable 2-0 win over Wolves at the weekend will have helped to improve morale, but last week’s defeat by Bodo/Glimt will still be fresh in the memory.
With Erling Haaland rested and keen to get back amongst the goals as Man City chase a much-needed win, Galatasaray may be in for a difficult evening at the Etihad.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
This will be the first competitive meeting between these sides, and the first time City have faced a team from Turkey since 1968, when they faced Fenerbahce in the European Cup.
