Galatasaray will have Didier Drogba leading the line tonight and after scoring four minutes into his debut, there is reason to expect him to get another goal tonight. He is 4/1 to score first and Evens to score anytime.

Schalke’s main striking threat is Klass-Jan Huntelaar and after his four goals in the group stage, it would be difficult to bet against him tonight.

William Hill have two specials on the match involving the two strikers in question. Which will you back?

DROGBA to score anytime and Galatasaray to win – 3/1

HUNTELAAR to score anytime and Schalke to win – 4/1

Schalke have no win in their last four matches and over in Germany this is being seen as a mini-crisis after they were expected to challenge for the title this season whilst Galatasaray are cruising at the top of the Turkish league.

Gala’s form is not bullet proof though and looking at their Champions League group stage they only won one of the three home matches, against a Manchester United site that had already qualified. They did win two of their three away matches though so their quality is undoubted.

Given Schalke’s poor recent run we are happy to side with the home side here, expecting their volatile home ‘hell’ atmosphere to help them get a first leg lead.
