Key Factors
Juventus enters with a massive 3-goal deficit after a 5-2 first-leg loss, forcing them to adopt a high-risk attacking stance from the whistle.
Galatasaray's efficiency in the first leg (5 goals from 2.92 xG) indicates clinical finishing that punishes defensive lapses, despite a likely regression to the mean.
Juventus is severely depleted in defense with both regular full-backs (Cambiaso and Cabal) suspended, likely forcing a shift to an experimental 3-4-2-1 formation.
Victor Osimhen returns for Galatasaray to lead the line, providing a world-class outlet for counter-attacks against a high Juventus defensive line.
Injuries & Absentees
Juventus is crippled by absences: top scorer Dušan Vlahović and Arkadiusz Milik remain out, leaving Jonathan David to lead the line. Defensively, the suspension of Andrea Cambiaso and Juan Cabal removes their primary width. Galatasaray is without Mauro Icardi (back), but the return of Victor Osimhen and midfielder Mario Lemina (suspension over) provides a significant boost to their transition play.
