Here we reveal the possible line-ups plus player fitness updates for Thursday’s big Europa League clash.

Galatasaray are hoping to win again following the 1-2 Super Lig victory versus Çaykur Rizespor. In all likelihood, Cimbom may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system, utilising N. Fernando Muslera, Elias Jelert, Carlos Cuesta, Abdlkerim Bardakci, Davinson Sánchez, Berkan Kutlu, Gabriel Sara, Baris Yilmaz, Dries Mertens, Roland Sallai and Victor Osimhen.

Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk will be happy not to have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this match thanks to a fully healthy group available to select from.

How Galatasaray might line up for the game against AZ

AZ head into the match following a 4-1 Europa League win to defeat Galatasaray in their last game. We are inclined to think that AZ appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of R. J. Owusu-Oduro, Seiya Maikuma, Wouter Goes, Alexandre Penetra, David Møller Wolfe, Jordy Clasie, Sven Mijnans, Peer Koopmeiners, Ernest Poku, Troy Parrott and Mayckel Lahdo.

With a fully healthy squad available for selection, AZ manager Maarten Martens does not have any fitness concerns at all coming into this clash.
