Galatasaray

2.25Tip and bets
Galatasaray stumbled in the first match and emotions were running high, the Lions' coach even replaced the starting goalkeeper after the first half. However, today the hosts will probably appear in a completely different guise, Galatasaray is practically flawless and traditionally productive on their home field. It is unlikely that Young Boys, in its current state, has a chance to play another match of their life, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Galatasaray . This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on total
Galatasaray needs to come back and today the Lions will probably put serious pressure on the opponent's goal from the first minutes. Young Boys, to put it mildly, is not distinguished by reliability in defense and the guests are unlikely to leave without conceding goals. At the same time, the Lions also make many mistakes in defense, where Bardakci's disqualification added problems - the match will probably again be productive.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.61
Bet on corners
Galatasaray are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Galatasaray. This bet is offered for 1.65
