Group D - Schalke 04, Galatasaray, Lokomotiv Moscow, Porto
Lokomotiv Moscow vs FC Schalke 04
Lokomotiv Moscow are the hosts when they play Schalke 04 at their RZD Arena. The Russian side faced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Turkish giants Galatasaray, but a victory over German side Schalke 04 will surely see them regain some much needed confidence. Schalke did well to share the spoils with Porto, but seeing that they have been struggling to find their form at the start of the new domestic campaign, we do not believe that the visitors will be capable of spoiling Lokomotiv’s party in the Russian capital.
Prediction: 1-0
Porto vs Galatasaray
Galatasaray will be hoping to build on the 3-0 win over Lokomotiv Moscow when they take on Portugese giants, Porto at Estadio do Dragao in their second game. The Turkish side has been producing mindblowing performances all season, but Wednesday’s match against Porto will be anything but a walk in the park. It is very well known that Galatasaray are tough to beat at home, but their away record is anything but good. We firmly believe that the two teams are going to share the spoils at Estadio Do Dragao. The two sides have never met before in the Champions League.
Prediction: 1-1
