Two sides sitting firmly in the middle of the UEFA Champions League UCL league phase standings meet in a crucial encounter, as Monaco host Galatasaray for the seventh time in UCL history. The Monegasques come into this clash after a puzzling run of form that has kept supporters guessing, Softfootball reports.
While they managed a statement win over PSG, that victory sits awkwardly among a five-match slump across all competitions. Their UCL campaign reflects that inconsistency, six points from five game, leave them fighting simply to remain inside the top 24.
Still, there is a silver lining for Adi Hutter's men: Monaco are unbeaten in four straight European fixtures including a gritty 1-0 win over Bod/Glimt on matchday four. However, their home record in this competition remains a serious concern. With only three wins in their last 14 home UCL main-draw games, there is apprehension that another slip could further derail their European ambitions.
