Betting suggestion:

Galatasaray should leave for the game as they need a good result to go with more tranquility to the game second leg away from their domains, where the difficulties should increase. The visitors should go to this game with the intention of making an aggressive pressing, but without giving up attacking, because they know the importance of scoring goals away from home. This tends to be a very busy game and with good chances of goals, so our bet will be that both teams score at least one goal each until the end of the duel.
