Galatasaray has a matchpoint at their Turk Telekom Arena in their quest for the Champions League. All they need to do is to avoid losing to Molde, as the Turks have a one-goal lead from the opening event.
Before Betting on Galatasaray vs. Molde
Surprisingly, Galata’s defense has been the key to all the current success, not conceding a single goal in four of their six encounters. Most of the notable names that landed in Istanbul during the summer were forwards, but for the moment, the defense leads the way for Galata.
In those six events, Icardi and the boys won on four occasions, posting two draws as well. When mentioning the Argentinian attacker, we have to say that his individual quality helped the team in Norway, with him constantly breaking Molde’s defense and creating trouble for the hosts.
Throughout the months of June and July, the Norwegian champions played excellently, posting fantastic results and indicating a high ceiling. However, in their recent four matches, they managed to secure victory only once, significantly slowing down and losing the confidence displayed during summer.
The team struggles to deliver on the road, and we’ve seen them losing in both of the UEFA Champions League away contests. The first failure was in Helsinki, to HJK, 2-1, while the second at Faroe Islands, against Klaksvik, 1-0.

The Turks are very strong at home, and that has been an unwritten rule in the past. They have a better team than Molde when looking at all the aspects of play, even though Ziyech and Zaha aren’t expected to start this contest. Galata should win this one without any problems, not only due to their higher quality but also because Molde underachieves on the road. The odds on Galtasaray’s victory are solid and have value.
