On Tuesday, Galatasaray host Union St. Gilloise at Rams Park in what could be a decisive match in their Champions League campaign. Galatasaray are riding momentum after solid recent performances, while Union SG are under pressure after a difficult run in the competition. With both teams fighting for position in the group standings, this contest has major implications - and statistical trends suggest it could be open, high-stakes, and rich in attacking moments.
Galatasaray team overview
Galatasaray’s 2025/26 Champions League campaign has been close to perfect at the halfway point of the group stage. Okan Buruk’s men have collected three wins from a possible four, with the standout result being a 1-0 victory over Liverpool on matchday two - a much-needed response following their heavy 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the group opener. The Turkish champions then recorded back-to-back wins against Bodø/Glimt (3-1) and Ajax (3-0), leaving them just one point short of the eighth position that would seal direct qualification to the round of 16.
Their home form has been one of the defining features of their season: Galatasaray remain unbeaten across their first nine matches at Rams Park in all competitions.

Union St. Gilloise team overview
Union SG have endured a difficult Champions League campaign so far. In stark contrast to Galatasaray, they have managed just one win from their first four matches and currently sit outside the qualifying places - on course to miss even the play-ins if results do not improve. Their only victory came in an impressive 3-1 away performance against PSV Eindhoven, but defensive frailties have since been exposed brutally. Across their defeats to Inter, Newcastle and Atlético Madrid, USG conceded a remarkable 11 goals.
Their away form offers limited encouragement: they have won two of their last five matches on the road, though both victories came in the Belgian Pro League rather than in Europe.

Prediction
Statistically, this matchup leans heavily in Galatasaray’s favour. Their superior attacking output, strong defensive response in recent weeks and excellent home record give them a clear edge. Union SG’s defensive instability, combined with their inconsistent away form, further increases the difficulty of their task in Istanbul.
Galatasaray are currently one of the most in-form home sides across Europe - unbeaten in nine straight matches - and they are well-positioned to extend their Champions League winning streak to four consecutive games.
Prediction: Galatasaray to Win.
Three reasons we expect Galatasaray to Win
- Galatasaray have picked up three consecutive wins in the last three rounds of the Champions League.
- Galatasaray are still unbeaten on home soil this season - having recorded nine matches without a defeat across all competitions.
- USG have suffered three successive Champions League defeats.
