- Date: Tuesday, 3rd November, 2026
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Rams Park (Istanbul)
After dominant wins in their domestic leagues, Galatasaray and Stuttgart will face off in the 4th round of the Champions League. Thus far, Galatasaray has collected three points in the Champions League, while Stuttgart have done a lot better, securing seven points. A win here would probably secure the next phase of the competition for the German team.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Champions League tie.
Galatasaray team overview
Galatasaray invested heavily in high-profile signings, and although they succeeded domestically, they haven't found European success. This year, the Lions started the season fairly slowly but are still at the top of the Super Lig with 25 points from 10 rounds. Lately, they have gathered momentum in their previous games, winning four in a row, including the Champions League game against Lille 4:2. Looking at their remaining schedule (Stuttgart, Aston Villa, Feyenoord, and PSG), this game at home feels like a must-win in order to have a chance of advancing.
After a 4:0 over Konyaspor, coach Okan Buruk spoke to the media. He was satisfied with a win, praising the team's overall performance, growing confidence, and chemistry. The coach added that they are shifting their focus to the Champions League, where they have ambitions to reach the next round.

Stuttgart team overview
Stuttgart had a different start to the season, given the fact that they did very well in the Champions League, but underperformed in the Bundesliga. In the Champions League, Stuttgart did collect seven points, but we have to note that they won six points against Viking and Slovan, two of the weakest teams in the competition.
Meanwhile, they are in 10th place with nine points in nine matches. Their last game against Bayer Leverkusen (4:2) was really impressive and definitely something to build on. After the game, coach Sebastian Hoeneß spoke to the media. He was very happy with a win, saying it was more than just an important three points. The coach was pleased with the physicality, intensity, and collective mentality.
When it comes to injuries, the team should have no new ones, but Justin Diehl, Leo Sauer, Angelo Stiller, Josha Vagnoman, and Dan-Axel Zagadou should remain sidelined.

Prediction
Galatasaray are in excellent form, winning four in a row and scoring 11 goals - 2.75 per game. They also went over 3.5 goals in all four Champions League games! They have proven they are really good offensively, which is not surprising given their quality up front. Still, on defense, they have shown they can be vulnerable, allowing nine goals in three CL games.
Stuttgart went over 3.5 goals in the previous game, winning 4:2 against Bayer Leverkusen. They looked very good in transition, and we believe they should have plenty of those situations against Galatasaray. Also, in the Champions League, Stuttgart went over 2.5 goals in all three games and over 3.5 goals in two out of three games - 75%.
Considering both teams' strong form and a high-scoring trend in the Champions League games for both sides, we believe that an over 3.5 goals bet is the best bet for this Champions League game.
3 Reasons why we should see four or more goals
- Galatasaray scored 11 goals in the previous four games - 2.75 per game
- Galatasaray went over 3.5 goals in all three Champions League games
- Stuttgart went over 3.5 goals in two out of three CL games
