Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will aim to net his 10th career Europa League goal when Galatasaray faces AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 playoffs.
Osimhen has already scored nine goals in 14 Europa League appearances, with five coming in this season’s six matches for Galatasaray. The prolific forward is expected to be in the starting lineup for the Turkish giants.
Galatasaray began their Europa League campaign on a strong note but dropped into the playoff zone after two draws and a defeat in their final group-stage match, finishing 14th in the standings. Meanwhile, AZ Alkmaar secured their spot in the playoffs with a 19th-place finish.
With a squad boasting star power and the recent addition of former Real Madrid, Chelsea, and AC Milan forward Álvaro Morata, Galatasaray will be determined to secure their place in the Round of 16.
