After two games, one point separates Schalke and Galatasaray in their Champions League. Schalke are tied for first in the group with four points, just ahead of Galatasaray. The two teams will play back to back games against each other, beginning on Wednesday in Istanbul.
Galatasaray are first in the Turkish Super Lig with 19 points in nine games. The Lions have been a significantly better team at Turk Telekom Stadium than they have in their away games. In six home games between Super Lig and Champions League, Galatasaray have 16 points and have scored 16 goals and conceded only twice. The home results are a major contrast to their away record, with Galatasaray have picked up only six points in five games, while conceding nine goals. Eren Derdiyok will be the focus of Galatasaray’s attack on Wednesday. The Swiss striker has scored six goals in all competitions this season.
Schalke got off to an awful start in the Bundesliga, losing their first five games of the season. The Royal Blues appeared to right the ship winning two games before the international break. However, in their first game after the break, Schalke lost 2-0 against Werder Bremen. The Royal Blues have struggled to scored goals domestically. Schalke have scored only five goals in their eight Bundesliga games while conceding 11 times. While Domenico Tedesco’s team have struggled in the Bundesliga, they have been better in the Champions League. Schalke won their last game 1-0 against Lokomotiv Moscow on an 88th-minute goal from American midfielder Weston McKennie. If Schalke are going to go to Turkey and pick up all three points they need a better performance from one of their strikers. Breel Embolo, Guido Burgstaller, and Mark Uth have combined for only three goals in all competitions.
