Latest football match prediction: Monaco vs Galatasaray
In a match that seemed entirely under their control, Monaco once again left the fifth matchday disappointed, conceding an own goal just two minutes before the end of the game in Cyprus.
That result jeopardized their hopes of progressing through the Champions League group stage, as Monaco entered this match only above the relegation zone on goal difference, with three games remaining.
At home, the Principality team is unbeaten in their last three group stage matches in the tournament, although Sébastien Pocognoli's side has yet to win at Stade Louis II in the League Phase this season.
Monaco have earned points in their last four Champions League matches and have lost only four of their previous 16 European cup games.
Since the start of the season, they have only lost two official home games, but they enter this match with two defeats in their last three games played at Louis II.
In their last five European matches against Turkish teams in the Principality, Monaco won four times, and also won two of their three home encounters against the most successful team in the Super Lig – 25 titles.
After a series of favorable results, Galatasaray unexpectedly faltered when they faced Saint-Gilloise — a team previously managed by Pocognoli this season.
Their earlier Champions League defeat ended a seven-match unbeaten home run in the competition, and on Tuesday they had the chance to win two consecutive away games in the League Phase for the first time since 2012.
Okan Buruk's side have earned points in four of their last five away games across all competitions, but have failed to win in their last two matches.
They both scored the opening goal in their two away Champions League matches this season, but the results were different: a 1-5 defeat to Frankfurt in the first matchday and a 3-0 victory against Ajax in early November.
Playing in France has never been easy for Galatasaray, as they have won only two of their 11 away matches against Ligue 1 teams in Europe, and lost seven of them.
Their only victory in the Principality came during their first away match in this competition against Monaco — a 1-0 win in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and then progressing with a 2-1 aggregate score.
