Rams Park Stadyumu is the venue for a Champions League contest on Wednesday evening as Galatasaray takes on Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt.
Both teams come into this likely entertaining Champions League contest in winning form after domestic road victories picked up last weekend.

Galatasaray team overview
Galatasaray turn their attention to the Champions League after a 2:1 Turkish Super Lig victory at Basaksehir last weekend. Leroy Sane bagged a brace as Gala extended their unbeaten run to five matches
The Turkish champions have enjoyed a strong month, picking up four wins and one draw during their recent unbeaten spell.
A high-scoring home win is expected at the Rams Park Stadyumu. Galatasaray won nine of their last 11 games across all competitions while seven of those games finished with a minimum of three goals scored.
Okan Buruk has a strong squad available this week. Leroy Sané is expected to keep his place in the forward positions after a standout display last weekend. Wilfred Singo remains an injury absentee but Davinson Sánchez returns from suspension.

Bodo/Glimt team overview
Bodo/Glimt make the trip to Turkey in high spirits after a commanding 5:2 win against Sarpsborg in the Eliterserien last weekend. Odin Luras Bjørtuft bagged a brace in a routine road victory for Kjell Knutsen's side.
The Norwegian champions have been in excellent form, winning five while remaining unbeaten in eight games played since a 2:1 defeat against Sturm Graz in a Champions League qualifier two months ago.
High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for the Yellow Horde this season. Bodo/Glimt have seen over 2.5 goals in nine of their last 11 matches and in six of their last seven European fixtures.
Ulrik Saltnes is ruled out, while Daniel Bassi and Ola Brynhildsen face late fitness tests. Kasper Høgh should lead the Bodo attack in Turkey.
