Galatasaray preview: Hoping keep their streak without a loss alive
Ever since their loss to Young Boys at home, which cost them a place in the Champions League, Galatasaray have found their best form and have been undefeated for nine games in a row.

Elfsborg preview: Hoping to avoid third loss in a row
We've seen a few different faces of Elfsborg this season, which is probably best shown by their latest results: a win over Roma in the last round of the Europa League, followed by two losses in a row in their domestic championship. Those two losses could prove very costly for Elfsborg and their efforts to secure European football for next season since they're now seventh in the standings.
Meanwhile, Elfsborg have a clean bill of health heading into their duel with Galatasaray.
Predicted lineup: Pettersson (GK), Hedlund, Ibrahim, Henriksson, Yegbe, Hult, Ouma, B. Zeneli, Qasem, A. Zeneli & Baidoo
