Most recent H2Hs: A first-ever meeting
This will be the first time that Tottenham and Galatasaray have ever met which adds a little more intrigue to the fixture. Tottenham's record against other Turkish clubs is decent enough with one win, one draw and one defeat. Galatasaray's record against English sides isn't great with just five wins from 23 matches.
Galatasaray preview: A forward line to be feared
Galatasaray have a very strong squad at their disposal at present with two excellent forwards in Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen. Icardi is now in his third year in Istanbul and has already surpassed 60 goals for the club. Osimhen, meanwhile, is in his first season at the club and has registered four goals and three assists in seven matches.
Predicted lineup: Muslera (GK), Ayhan, Sanchez, Bardakci, Yılmaz, Demirbay, Torreira, Sallai, Akgun, Icardi, Osimhen

Tottenham preview: Ange to rotate?
Ange Postecoglou has his heart set on winning a trophy this season so he won't be taking any games lightly in the Europa League. However, their position in the current standings does allow him some breathing space and he could therefore choose to give some key players a rest here.
Predicted lineup: Forster (GK), Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie, Bentancur, Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall, Johnson, Moore, Werner

Player to watch: Brennan Johnson
Brennan Johnson has had a rollercoaster of a season so far. He started the season as the target of abuse from Tottenham supporters before hitting a purple patch where he scored in seven consecutive matches. After going four matches without a goal since that streak, he scored against Aston Villa at the weekend which means he could be in line for another good performance on Thursday.
