Preview: Juventus vs Galatasaray
The Italian giants enter this home fixture in a state of crisis, having lost four of their last five matches across all competitions, including a disappointing 2-0 domestic defeat to Como just days ago. Manager Luciano Spalletti is facing a defensive nightmare with both natural left-backs, Andrea Cambiaso and Juan Cabal, serving suspensions, while star striker Dušan Vlahović remains sidelined with an injury. To have any hope of progressing, Juventus must play with reckless abandon from the opening whistle to bridge the three-goal gap, though their recent record of conceding 15 goals in five games suggests a vulnerable backline that could be easily exploited on the counter. Galatasaray arrives in Turin in a commanding position, buoyed by their emphatic 5-2 victory in Istanbul where they dismantled the Juve defense. Despite a weekend loss in the Turkish Super Lig, the "Lions" possess significant European experience and a potent attacking force that has historically troubled the Bianconeri, winning three of their seven all-time meetings. While star forward Victor Osimhen is a major doubt due to a knee problem, the visitors still boast dangerous options like Mauro Icardi and Noa Lang, who are well-equipped to punish a desperate Juventus side forced to push high up the pitch.

Tactically, Spalletti is expected to abandon his usual structure for a more offensive 3-4-2-1 formation to compensate for the lack of full-backs, potentially handing Filip Kostić a rare start as a wing-back. Galatasaray's strategy will likely focus on defensive solidity and absorbing pressure, relying on the midfield tenacity of Lucas Torreira to break up play. Although Juventus are the favorites to win the individual match on the night, the sheer scale of the aggregate deficit means Galatasaray are overwhelming favorites to secure their place in the Round of 16.
