17:40 CET - The lineups are in for today's early match between Galatasaray and Juventus in Istanbul, which kicks off at 18:45 CET.
With Jonathan David, Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik all injured, Luciano Spalletti has set Juve up with no recognised striker today, but plenty of skill with Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao on the flanks.
For Gala, Victor Osimhen starts up top with Noa Lang off the left, but Mario Lemina is suspended, which is a blow to the hosts. Star winger Leroy Sane starts on the bench, as he's not fully fit.

Juventus are the favourites after enjoying a higher finish in the league phase and ending the campaign with three points more than Galatasaray.
