The three-time winner of the FA Cup does not conduct the second season very well, although last year’s 10-th place can be added to the teams asset. In the current championship, the metropolitan club managed to gain eight victories and seven world victories over 33 rounds, which brought 31 points and 16t-h place, and this situation is in dangerously close to the relegation zone. The attack of the Hammers was able to score 40 goals, of which seven were on Hallers account and five at Snodgrass. Good overall performance attack spoiled the defense, which missed more than all the first 17 teams of the championship. The debut of the summer submarine session for West Ham turned out to be unsuccessful – two defeats in a row with the same score 0: 2 from Wolverhampton and Tottenham were dejected by David Moyes and fans of the team, but the victory over Chelsea (3: 2) and away draw with Newcastle (2: 2) give a good chance to look confidently next season. Snodgrass, Anderson and Haller will not be able to take part in today’s match, however, the release of the latter is still in question.
Galatasaray looks terrible in the current championship. The club is already fighting not for the first line, but for the fourth in the Super League, because if it loses it, it will lose its place in European competitions. So far the lions” are saved by two points in reserve from the pursuers. If they will continue to lose points, as it was in the past six meetings, then they will not see the Europa League. The Turkish Cup failed, where the yellow-red took off from the quarterfinal stage from today’s opponent (3: 3). In the Champions League, wards of Fatih Terima could not even leave the group. Adem Buyuk, Marcelo Saracci and Sophian Feguli will not be able to take part in this confrontation.
