Galatasaray and Copenhagen get their UEFA Champions League campaign underway when they lock horns at RAMS Park in Group A on Wednesday.
The Turkish powerhouse are currently on a run of six consecutive victories and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Galatasaray continue to dazzle in the 2023-24 campaign as they cruised to a 4-2 victory over Samsunspor in the Super Lig last Saturday.
Okan Buruk’s men have now won their last matches across all competitions, stretching back to a goalless draw against Kayserispor on August 12.
Galatasaray now turn their sights to the Champions League, where they have reached the group stages following a 5-3 aggregate victory over Molde in August’s playoff.
Copenhagen, on the other hand, were held to a 2-2 draw by a dogged Nordsjaelland side in the Danish Superliga on Saturday.
Prior to that, Jacob Neestrup’s side picked up a 2-0 victory over Viborg on August 3 to end their run of two consecutive games without a win.
Having missed out on the Champions League last season, Copenhagen confirmed their return to the continental showpiece courtesy of 2-1 victory over Rakow in August’s playoff.

Galatasaray vs Copenhagen Prediction
