Recommended bet: Draw
Eintracht Frankfurt are back in the Champions League after two seasons away having finished third in the Bundesliga last season.
The Eagles will see Thursday's clash against Galatasaray as an opportunity to get back to winning ways.
However, the Turkish heavyweights travel to Germany on the back of a fine winning run and will be aiming to make it six wins from six so far this campaign.

The stats
Eintracht Frankfurt and Galatasaray have previously met twice before in European competition, with the Turkish team progressing from a Round of 32 tie 1-0 on aggregate during the 1992/93 season.
Frankfurt have lost just one of their eight previous European matches against Turkish opposition, winning three and drawing four.
Gala have won just two of their 12 Champions League matches against German sides, a 4-1 victory against Hertha Berlin in October 1999 and a 3-2 win over Schalke in March 2013.
This is just the second season that Frankfurt have appeared in the Champions League, following 2022/23 when the Eagles reached the Last 16 stage.
During that campaign, they won just one of their four home games, drawing one and losing two.
Gala have won just three of their last 32 Champions League games, drawing nine and losing 20 and scoring more than once in just seven of those matches.

Prediction
Frankfurt may have lost last time out, but had secured convincing victories over Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim before the international break.
The Eagles have scored 13 goals in league and cup so far this campaign and will be confident of adding to that tally on Thursday night.
Gala have conceded just once during their fine start to the Super Lig campaign, but have not yet faced a side boasting the quality of the Bundesliga outfit.
With both teams finding the net freely, this one could well be a score draw.
