Galatasaray will square off against Cagliari at Raiffeisen Arena in a friendly on Wednesday. Aslan got their training camp in Austria underway last week, and the Rossoblù will play their first friendly outside Italy in the preseason.
The Yellow-Reds have enjoyed a 100% record in the preseason thus far, and after winning 5-2 against Ümraniyespor earlier this month, they overcame Flyeralarm Admira last week. Derrick Köhn scored in the first half, and Arda Ünyay doubled their lead after the break. They will return to Istanbul after this match and play friendlies against Strasbourg and Lazio.
Gli Isolani got their preseason underway with a 3-1 home win over fourth-tier side Ospitaletto last week, thanks to goals from Zito Luvumbo, Roberto Piccoli, and Alessandro Deiola. They have four more friendlies scheduled before beginning their Serie A campaign in August.
