Galatasaray can secure qualification for the first time in a decade with a good result away at Braga.
Galatasaray can qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time since 2001 with a good result away at already-eliminated Braga.
The Turkish side need only to equal or better CFR Cluj's result at Manchester United to progress to the next stage, and will have an excellent change of doing so after they boosted their confidence with an away win at Cluj, hugely important for a team that has had such an awful away record in Europe.
Braga, despite already being knocked out, will still want to put in a decent showing and will provide dangerous opposition, but with Cluj in action against Manchester United, Galatasaray will know that equalling their result, bar a shock win for the Romanians, should be a simple task.

Galatasaray injuries and suspensions
Out: Tomas Ujfalusi (cruciate)
Both teams almost have a full compliment of players to choose from, with Braga only missing the suspended Douglao, and Galatasaray only dealing with long-term absentee Tomas Ujfalusi.
