Galatasaray will host Olimpija at the Rams Park Stadyumu on Tuesday in the second leg of their third-round UEFA Champions League qualification clash.
The home side enjoyed a brilliant campaign last season, winning their first Turkish Super Lig title in four seasons, and are now targeting a spot in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. They opened their league campaign on Saturday with a goalless draw against Kayserispor and will be disappointed not to have come away with maximum points.
Olimpija began their Champions League qualification campaign with a 4-2 aggregate win over Latvian outfit Valmiera last month. They were then drawn against Ludogorets in the next round, playing out a 1-1 draw in the first leg before picking up a 2-1 win in a tense return leg on home turf.
Galatasaray already have a foot in the Champions League playoffs after picking up a 3-0 win in the first-leg clash between the two sides last week. Kerem Akturkoglu, Dries Mertens and former Brentford man Halil Dervisoglu got on the scoresheet for the Turkish outfit.
Galatasaray are on a four-game unbeaten streak and have lost just one of their last seven matches. They have won five of their last six home games and will be looking forward to the midweek clash.
Olimpija have won three of their last four games and have lost just two of their last 11. They have, however, struggled to pick up results on the road of late and could see defeat here.
