Galatasaray away at Lille: What does each result mean?

Galatasaray, who lost their first two matches in the Champions League league phase, play their third match away at Lille. No single result will mean outright elimination, but every point has become more valuable.

With a win, the yellow-reds will raise their tally to 3 and put their first points on the board. Even so, this result alone will not open the door to the round of 16. The league phase consists of eight matches. The teams in the top 8 advance directly to the round of 16, while the teams ranked 9th to 24th will play in the play-offs.

With a draw, Galatasaray's tally will be 1. This will not remove the chance of advancing, but it will make the remaining five matches even more important.

With a defeat, the first three matches will end without a point and climbing to the upper places will become harder. Even so, Galatasaray's European campaign will not be over. Five matches and 15 available points will remain ahead of them.
