It's do or die for both of these teams and they could both get bad news at the end of this game. Lokomotiv Moscow are bottom of the group after losing their first four matches and only scoring two goals. Their only target is to somehow get past third-placed Galatasaray and go into the Europa League. Their two home games so far have seen them lose to Porto 3-1 and lose by a single goal scored two minutes from time against Schalke. They aren't in good form with no wins in their last three matches and have lost two out of four at home in league and cup games. 

Galatsaray need just a draw to ensure a Europa League place but qualifying for the Champions League knock-out stages is still a possibility. They are four points behind Schalke who are away at Porto this week. A win for the Turks and defeat for the Germans would make for an interesting final set of games. Galatasaray have lost both of their away games in this group, 1-0 at Porto and 2-0 to Schalke. Goals are the problem with none scored in their last three games in this group and they have gone 13 away Champions League games without a win and no goals in the last three. They have to improve that form of course to have a chance of qualification and the tip here is for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
