Metalist Kharkiv with tough test against Galatasaray

By: sasha | November 27th, 2008

Metalist Kharkiv face legendary Turkish side Galatasaray in the UEFA Cup today. Galatasaray have dominated Group B and possess six points after two matches. A victory today in-front of their home supporters at Ali Sami Yen Stadium will guarantee their advancement as possibly an advantageous position in the draw where they wouldn’t face a club falling out of the Champions League. They will be without menacing defender and Turkish national Servet Çetin as well as Hasan Şaş and Uğur Uçar with additional questions about the services of Mehmet Topal, Lincoln and Tobias Linderoth. While that is a substantial grouping losses, they possess a brilliant array of talent including Czech standout Milan Baroš, Harry Kewell, Sabri Sarıoğlu, Arda Turan, Ayhan Akman and great veteran Emre Aşık. The Zhovto-Syni will need to be at their best to defeat the Turkish side and control their troublesome attack and require the most of Ukraine nationals Valentyn Slyusar, Serhiy Valyayev and Marko Dević.

    Halftime and it is still 0-0, I wonder if they will hold on or even grab a win inside a stadium known as “hell” in Turkey.
