UEFA Europa League
The unstable defense contributed to Galatasaray's heavy loss as a guest in the first match, as well as playing almost the entire second half with one man less. Now they have to score at least three goals at home again, as they have done in every home game so far in the tournament. However, they have never won by more than two goals difference, which is now necessary for the team. All of Galatasaray's home games so far have had over 3.5 goals and goals in both nets.
AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, recorded their most convincing victory so far in the competition, and earlier in the group stage they defeated the other Turkish giant Fenerbahçe at home with 3:1. However, their problem was the away games. Except for the 2:2 draw with Ludogorets, AZ Alkmaar lost their other three away games, the last of which was 3:4 against Ferencváros.
Prediction: Galatasaray to win and both teams to score, over 2.5 goalsGalatasaray scores quite a lot at home, but also concedes, and the latter could be fatal and lead to elimination now. They will likely still win against the unconvincing AZ Alkmaar in their visits so far, but the goals are unlikely to be few.
