Arsenal will be looking to grab their first points of the Champions League campaign when they host Galatasaray at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. The Gunners have lost 2-0 at Borussia Dortmund in the opening match. They have done slightly better in the Premier League though, they are still undefeated after six matches with two wins and four draws.
Galatasaray only managed a 1-1 draw at home against Anderlecht in the opening group match and they were nearly defeated. Burak Yilmaz salvaged a point for the Turkish side by scoring in the 93rd minute against the Belgians.
Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta will both miss out for Arsenal after having suffered injuries during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Tottenham. Galatasaray could be without Veysel Sari and Blerim Dzemaili.
Probable starting line-ups:
Arsenal: Szczesny - Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs - Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wilshere, Diaby, Cazorla, Ozil - Alexis Sanchez
Galatasaray: Muslera - Telles, Chedjou, Kaya, Zan, Melo - Altintop, Inan, Sneijder - Yilmaz, Pandev
My prediction: Arsenal to win 2-0.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
Arsenal win - 4/7 Draw - 10/3 Galatasaray win - 11/2

I am fan of galatasaray and i need to believe in our guys but this is hard hard game, special on their stadium. If they play on our stadium it will be different. but i think that galatasaray can score, with pandev, yilmaz, sneider... they all know how to score goal and i am sure that somebody will score.

Well, I think that Arsenal is big favourite in this match, this match is very important for Arsenal, after defaet in Dortmund they must play better if they want in knock-out phase, so if they make that happen they must win in this game, Galatasaray is good team, but they don't have quality like Arsenal, I agree with you...
