Probable lineups
Defense to be reinvented for Spalletti, without the suspended Cambiaso and Cabal and with Bremer perhaps not in optimal condition after the injury in the first leg. With nothing to lose, the back 3 could return along with McKennie as an offensive wildcard.
Guests who instead arrive in Turin almost spoiled for choice and above all with a 3-goal lead.
- JUVENTUS (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly; McKennie, Thuram, Locatelli, Kostic; Conceiçao, Yildiz; David. Coach Spalletti
- GALATASARAY (4-2-3-1): Cakir; Sallai, D.Sanchez, Bardakci, Jacobs; Torreira, Sara; Yilmaz, Akgun, Lang; Osimhen. Coach Okan

Winning is not enough for Juve
The first leg was one of those nights to be forgotten as soon as possible for Juventus. Five goals conceded, a constant storm in the second half once they were down a man, Spalletti’s team collapsed at the worst possible moment and now a feat is needed. More than scoring three goals against Galatasaray, the real magic trick seems to be keeping a clean sheet.

Osimhen, Lang, and Yilmaz tore the Juventus defense to pieces last Tuesday at the Ali Sami Yen: all three are expected to start again and, in addition, the Lady’s backline has lost Bremer, the only truly irreplaceable player. Without the Brazilian on the field, the score was 4-0 in favor of Galatasaray.
Spalletti has practically no alternatives to an offensive formation, between absences and suspensions. At this point, speculating makes no sense even if, of course, another heavy blow would be unacceptable. Winning, however, is not enough for Juventus, although it would already be something against this Galatasaray full of former Serie A players perhaps let go too quickly.
Recent memories of the Bianconeri in knockout matches are not exactly happy, as demonstrated by the knockout a year ago against PSV Eindhoven, who were inferior to the Turks, at least on paper.
It should be remembered, however, that Galatasaray is one thing within their home walls and another, much worse, away, with 3 defeats out of 4 in this Champions League and 8 goals conceded compared to 4 scored.
The prediction: 1 first half
A prediction and almost a wish in reality, regardless of form. Because if Juventus wants to go through, they must push from the start, so the Bianconeri leading Galatasaray at halftime is our choice. As, after all, had also happened in Turkey…

Correct score
Here comes the fun part: Juve win, Juve win with qualification, or another fiasco? We’ll take a Bianconeri success and a negative result, assuming Galatasaray remains unscathed at the Stadium.
