Match preview

Wednesday's visitors to the Turk Telekom Stadyumu, Schalke 04, earned three vital points away to Lokomotiv Moscow in their previous Group H outing, thanks to Weston McKennie's late strike. The 20-year-old American attacking midfielder subsequently continued his goal scoring form in the Miners' 2-0 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf but failed to add to his tally in his side's defeat to Werder Bremen over the weekend.

At the moment, Schalke is yet to maintain a consistent winning streak in both the domestic and European fronts. Prior to the victories enjoyed over Freiburg, Mainz 05 and Locomotive somewhere in October, the German outfit was on a six-game winless run. The best result within the campaign was the 1-1 draw with FC Porto in the opening group game of this season's UEFA Champions League.

On Saturday, the loss to Werder Bremen consequently pushed Tedesco's men down to 15th on the Bundesliga table. Considering matters ahead of Wednesday's Champions League outing, a massive effort will be required from the Gelsenkirchen club if they indeed fancy a result against Galatasaray.

The host, on the other hand, enters the upcoming encounter on the back of a 1-1 draw against Bursaspor last Friday. The Turkish club has also been inconsistent with results as it has two wins and two losses in its last five appearances.
