Latest football commentary on Galatasaray vs Tottenham

Tottenham, after a four-year absence, have made an impressive return to the Europa League, taking all nine points from their opening three games of the season. They began the campaign with a 3-0 win over Qarabag despite being down to 10 men, then won 2-1 away at Ferencvaros and most recently a 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar thanks to a Richarlison penalty. Ange Postecoglou's side currently sit top of their Europa League group, along with Lazio, both on nine points after three games.

Tottenham have also been in impressive form in the Premier League, moving up to seventh place after a 4-1 comeback win over Aston Villa last weekend. They have won their last six home games in all competitions, scoring 17 goals and conceding just four. Spurs have maintained their impressive record in the Europa League, winning all eight of their last home games, scoring 26 goals and conceding just two, keeping six clean sheets. However, Tottenham will face a tough test in their upcoming trip to Türkiye as they look to avoid a third consecutive away defeat. Their last visit to Istanbul was in December 2014, when they lost 1-0 to Besiktas.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray have also been in good form in the Europa League, with seven points from their opening three games, despite not starting as well as Tottenham. Okan Buruk's side have scored plenty of goals in their games, scoring at least four in each. They beat PAOK 3-1 in their opening game with two goals in the final 15 minutes, then drew 2-2 with Rigas Futbola Skola and most recently won 4-3 at home against Elfsborg. Galatasaray are now on an 11-game unbeaten run in all competitions (9 wins, 2 draws). They also won 2-1 against Besiktas in the Super Lig, opening up an eight-point lead over second-placed Samsunspor.

However, Galatasaray have a poor record against English sides, having won just one of their last six meetings (D2 L3). Their only win came against Manchester United in a 3-2 win at Old Trafford in last season's Champions League. With their current form and determination to win to boost their hopes of reaching the knockout stages for the third time in four years, Galatasaray will be at their best when they host Tottenham on Thursday.
