Tuesday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me focus on the Champions League qualifiers and I’ve come up with a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Galatasaray vs Young Boys
?? Champions League Qualifying
⏰ Tuesday 27 August, 20:00
It’s a massive night in Istanbul on Tuesday as Galatasaray welcome Swiss champions Young Boys to Rams Park, and just like the first leg, I’m expecting to see goals.
Despite enduring a woeful start domestically, Young Boys travel to Istanbul with a lead, as they defeated Galatasaray in the Swiss capital in what was a topsy-turvy affair.
The Bern-based club raced into a two-goal lead in the first half – and despite a brace from Ex-Chelsea and Fenerbahce striker Michy Batshuayi – ensured they travelled to Turkey with a lead as they scored a penalty four minutes from time to seal a 3-2 victory.
However, domestically, Patrick Rahmen’s side currently sits bottom of the Swiss Super League table after picking up just two points from their opening five matches (W0-D2-L3).
Unlike their opponents, Galatasaray have begun the defence of their league crown in a much better fashion, securing back-to-back 2-1 victories to make it two wins from two to begin the campaign.
However, Okan Buruk’s men were embarrassed in the Turkish Super Cup in the season's curtain-raiser, as they were thrashed 5-0 by city-rivals Besiktas.
Bet of the Day
Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals has paid out in each of Galatasaray's previous five European contests on home soil, as well as 3/3 (100%) of their league and European fixtures this term – and given the same has landed in 5/6 (83%) of Young Boys’ league and European fixtures this season – I’m hoping we see a similarly entertaining and high-scoring encounter to the five-goal thriller these two sides produced in Bern last week.
