Galatasaray vs Tottenham predicted – Ange Postecoglou faces toughest Europa League test yet

Tottenham will face one of the toughest fixtures in their Europa League calendar later today when they take on Galatasaray and attempt to keep up their winning start to the competition.

Spirits are high around Spurs at the moment, with a huge 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup last week being followed by an emphatic 4-1 win against Aston Villa in the Premier League on the weekend. Now, Ange Postecoglou's side will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce across all competitions, with the Lilywhites traveling to Turkey to face Galatasaray later today.

Spurs currently sit second in the Europa League table, only behind Lazio on goal difference, with the two sides winning their opening three games of the competition so far. Galatasaray will be looking to put an end to Spurs' unbeaten start though, with the Turkish side just two points behind Postecoglou's side in the table.

So, can Spurs make it four wins from four in the Europa League later today? Let's take a look.

We simulated Galatasaray vs Spurs to get a score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that the hosts could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Muslera; Ayhan, Sanchez, Bardakci, Kutlu; Torreira, Sara; Yilmaz, Mertens, Akgun; Osimhen.

We predict that Spurs could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bissouma, Bergvall, Maddison; Moore, Lankshear, Son.

Spurs found it hard to get going in the early stages, and seven minutes in, they found themselves a goal behind when former defender Davidson Sanchez headed home from a corner to make it 1-0. Postecoglou's side was struggling with a James Maddison free-kick their only shot of the half, and just before the break, matters were made worse as the hosts went two goals up.

As Galatasaray moved forward from defence, Archie Gray was caught flat-footed by Baris Alper Yilmaz, with the winger bursting away from the defender to latch onto Dries Mertens' through ball. The winger sped away from Gray and Ben Davies to go one-on-one with Fraser Forster, and his powerful strike beat the 'keeper at the near post, doubling the hosts' lead.

Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski, and Pape Sarr were all introduced at half-time as Postecoglou looked for improvement in the second half, and they almost made an instant impact when Solanke headed Kulusevski's cross onto the post from close range. But, after a flurry of chances early in the half, the Lilywhites went off the boil, and a late counterattack saw Victor Osimhen score to make it 3-0 to Galatasaray at the death to top off a miserable trip to Turkey for Postecoglou's side.
