UCL: Does Galatasaray have what it takes?

The Turkish side must win its last game, tonight, to clutch the last ticket to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League and it won't be an easy task.

Indeed, Galatasaray faces Juventus Turin in a decisive game at home. In their first encounter, both teams left the field with one point after a 2-2 draw in Italy. Tonight's game is a winner-takes-all game and should be very entertaining with the always loud Turk Telecom Arena fans to support their team. 

But does Galatasaray have what it takes to defeat the Italian back to back champions who only needs a tie to qualify? Here are a few keys of the game that Galatasaray will need to get the win:

• In-form stars: A few players have many Champions League games in their feet and have the experience of tough, decisive games. Didier Drogba, winner of the competition with Chelsea two years ago, is one of them. He scored two goals in five previous games and, despite his age (35), he is still a major threat for defenses and an in-form Drogba could be deadly. Galatasary surely hopes that the great Ivory Coast striker will be on fire tonight. Wesley Sneijder's form will also be a key of the game. The 29-year old Dutch only scored one goal and has no assist in three games so far so he will have to pick it up if Galatasaray wants to go through.

• A strong defense: Undoubtedly the weakness of the team. Galatasaray gave up 14 goals in five matchs, which makes it the third worst defense of the competition. Not what you expect from a major team. However, the team conceded 10 goals against Real Madrid only, but no excuse! The defense needs to wake up and be focus for 90 minutes to stop the Italian offensive power because when Tevez, Llorente, Vidal, Pogba and Co. are feeling well, they can find a way through any defense. 

• Juventus' struggle away from home: The Italian side has not won a single game on the road in their two previous games on the road (1-1 to Copenhagen; 1-2 to Real Madrid). Galatasaray will have to use this weakness to win the game, which means putting a lot of pressure high on the field and don't give Juventus time to play like they were at home. Controlling the maestro Andrea Pirlo is key to close Juventus' style of play, but it won't be an easy feat.

• The home crowd: The Turk Telecom Arena is one of the loudest, craziest stadium in Europe with an incredible home crowd! Turkish fans are known to push behind their team from start to finish. Juventus could have trouble adapting, even if similar atmosphere can be seen in Italy.

One goal. That's all Galatasaray needs to qualify; one single goal without giving away any. Can they do it? Will Juventus be knock-out of the Champions League for one little point? We'll have the answer after 90 minutes of  a ferocious battle in Turkey.
