Today at 2:45 p.m. ET, Galatasaray and Juventus go head-to-head in UEFA Champions League Group B live from Turk Telekom Arena in Turkey. The game can be live streamed here.
Gala knows that only a win over Juventus will get the team back into the final 16 in the Champions League, and coach Roberto Mancini realizes that it won't be that easy of a feat for his team.
A 4-1 loss at the Santiago Bernabeu has left the team reeling in third place in Group B.
"We have all to play for," Mancini told www.tuttosport.com. "We need to be calm and show focus. We play at home and in a game, anything can happen. We know it's going to be a very difficult match because Juve is a very good side. I think if we are fortunate like we were in the first leg (a 2-2 draw in Turin - Mancini's first game in charge of Galatasaray), and we limit mistakes, then we can do well and achieve our aim."
Goalkeeper Fernando Muslera and ex-Inter Milan forward Wesley Sneijder will return for the hosts. Muslera returned from a fractured toe he suffered on Oct. 31 for the team's Friday's 2-0 win over Elazigspor on Friday while Sneijder will return after a month-long layoff with a thigh injury.
Juve topped Copenhagen 3-1 on Nov. 27 to earn their first win in the Champions League this season and Antonio Conte knows his team's destiny is in its own hands.
"We cannot go there with fear but determined to win," striker Fernando Llorente said via ESPN. "If we control the game and if we give all that we have inside, then we can do it. Our journey in the competition has not been easy but we have recovered and we are one step away from achieving our aim."
Llorente will be paired up front with Carlos Tevez for the game.
Both teams look for key wins when Gala and Juve go head-to-head today on the pitch.
