Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Caitlyn win this lane because your E root into Caitlyn headshot is a reliable poke combo that Cassiopeia cannot sustain through, and your W shield reduces Galio's all-in threat.
Post-6, the matchup becomes more volatile because your R can counter-engage Galio's R if timed correctly, but Cassiopeia's R will delete you if you are caught in the stun.

Your best trading pattern is to poke with Q and auto-attacks, then use E to root Cassiopeia when she walks up, allowing Caitlyn to land a headshot; your W should be used proactively to shield Caitlyn from Galio's taunt damage rather than reactively after she takes a full combo.
Avoid using your R offensively unless Galio has already committed his R, as saving it for a counter-engage is more valuable.

You should not roam in this matchup because Cassiopeia's wave clear is strong enough to punish your absence, and Caitlyn needs your peel and shields to survive Galio's all-in attempts.
Stay in lane and focus on maintaining the poke advantage and denying Cassiopeia's sustain through consistent Q harassment.

Do not let your W expire without using it when Galio is threatening an engage; the passive shield on W is your primary tool for reducing his all-in damage, and wasting it on minor poke means Caitlyn takes full damage from his E taunt combo.
Also avoid grouping with Caitlyn in Galio's R landing zone, as a successful Galio R into Cassiopeia R will end the game for your bot lane.
