Galatasaray is flying high again in Turkey and at first glance should not miss the victory in the upcoming match. However, this seemed to be the case during the visit to Latvian RFS Riga, where Galatasaray led 2-0, but eventually finished 2-2. It is precisely the inconsistency in defense that sometimes prevents Galatasaray from winning. Nevertheless, they defeated PAOK 3-1 at home in their other match in the tournament.
Elfsborg shows that they should not be underestimatedElfsborg suffered unpleasant losses in their last two league matches, where they are only seventh. However, in the Europa League so far, they have shown that they should not be written off lightly. They won 1-0 at home against Roma in their last match in the tournament, and in their only visit, they troubled AZ Alkmaar quite a bit, although they eventually lost 2-3.
Prediction: Galatasaray to win and both teams to score, over 2.5 goalsGalatasaray mainly plays high-scoring matches and is expected to reach a victory at home, but they must once again be more careful in defense. Elfsborg shows that they should not be underestimated and may score at least one goal, but it is clear that avoiding defeat in Istanbul will be difficult.
