Barcelona vs Galatasaray: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction
By Max Parsons
Barcelona aim to continue their fine form on Thursday night, as they host Galatasary in the Europa League.
La Blaugrana earned this round of 16 clash courtesy of a barnstorming 4-2 victory over Napoli - securing a 5-3 aggregate win - in the previous round, since which Xavi's men have only continued their fantastic form. Barca have now won six of their last eight in all competitions, scoring 14 in their last four outings.
They will also be hopeful of progressing in Europe, having to overcome a Galatasaray side that sits a hugely disappointing 12th in Turkey's top flight and that has won just twice in their last 11 across all competitions - losing seven in that time.

Barcelona vs Galatasaray score prediction
When looking at the form guides, there's only one winner in this one.
Since the turn of the year, Galatasaray's form has severely nosedived to transform this campaign into a calamitous one, while Barcelona have thoroughly picked up to inspire great confidence in the current regime.
Xavi has instilled a new belief around the Camp Nou, and you'd expect La Blaugrana to make it through to the Europa League's final eight, starting with a comprehensive win on Thursday night.
Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Galatasaray
