Why we called it
Sporting's projected XI has Trincao and Luis Guilherme behind Luis Suarez and previews give the hosts only a slight edge. Galatasaray top the Super Lig unbeaten and beat Basaksehir on Friday with Osimhen, Torreira and Sara scoring, but Osimhen limped off with a groin problem and is a real doubt, leaving Icardi to lead the line. Evenly matched once Osimhen's absence is priced in, so a coin-flip: 1-1.
