Barcelona will aim to maintain their perfect start to the season when they travel to face Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League. The Catalan side have won all nine matches they have played this campaign and will be targeting a 10th consecutive win. Their opponents, meanwhile, sit at the top of the Turkish Super Lig standings.

Galatasaray have accumulated 16 points from seven league matches, recording five wins, one draw and one loss. Although Cimbom have been steady in domestic competition, they began their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 loss to Sporting CP. The Turkish giants also suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Trabzonspor just before the international break.

However, Galatasaray returned to winning ways with a 3-1 win over Kasimpasa. Galatasaray will hope to use their home advantage to challenge Barcelona, though the visitors' impressive run of form makes them strong contenders to extend their winning streak.

Barcelona lead La Liga after winning all eight of their league matches, opening up a five-point gap at the summit. They have also scored 39 goals in nine appearances across competitions, underlining their attacking threat.

The Catalan side began their Champions League campaign with a commanding 5-1 win over Feyenoord and will look to add another win as they pursue a place in the competition's top eight. Playing at Rams Park presents a tough challenge, but Barcelona's impressive form gives them reason to be optimistic about securing all three points.

Galatasaray are expected to use a 4-3-3 formation, with Ugurcan Cakir in goal. Baris Alper Yilmaz could start at right-back after playing there against Kasimpasa, alongside Ismail Jakobs on the left. Davinson Sanchez and Abdulkerim Bardakci are likely to partner in central defense. Lucas Torreira should anchor midfield, supported by Gabriel Sara and Yunus Akgun, while Leroy Sane and Rafael Leao provide width and Deniz Gul leads the attack.

Barcelona are also tipped to deploy a 4-3-3, with Joan Garcia in goal, Jules Kounde and Joao Cancelo at full-back, and Pau Cubarsi alongside Eric Garcia centrally. Rodri, Pedri and Dani Olmo should control midfield, while Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon flank Gabriel Jesus, with Raphinha unavailable.
