Galatasaray – Copenhagen preview: Form, news, and potential lineups
Learn all about the latest updates regarding both teams ahead of their duel here, including the most likely Galatasaray vs Copenhagen lineups:
Galatasaray
It has been a dream start for Galatasaray as they are still unbeaten this season, despite getting through four three rounds of CL Qualifiers and playing in four games in their domestic league. When it comes to team news, Wilfried Zaha remains out with an injury, but the rest of the team is fit and ready to go.
Galatasaray predicted lineup:
Muslera – Boey, Bardakci, Nelsson, Angelino – Torreira, Ndombele – Tete, Mertens, Akturkoglu – Icardi
Copenhagen
Although they struggled to get through Polish Rakow in the last round of Qualifiers, Copenhagen once again made it to the group stages and they will be hoping for a good season in Champions League. Meanwhile, the team is at the top of the standings in Danish Superligaen, but they will miss their key striker Andreas Cornelius in this game, along with defenders Nicolai Boilesen and Davit Khocholava.
Copenhagen predicted lineup:
Grabara – Jelert, Diks, Vavro, Meling – Falk, Claesson, Goncalves – Oskarsson, Bardghji, Elyounoussi
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

FC Copenhagen
Player to watch: Mauro Icardi
Since we can see Galatasaray winning this match, our player to watch comes from this team and it is their top scorer this season, the experienced Argentinian Mauro Icardi.
The 30-year-old already scored eight goals for Galatasaray this season in the same number of matches in Turkish league and Europe, so Copenhagen needs to keep a close eye on Icardi in this game.
