Prediction published on 13/08/2023, 23:14  by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions

Galatasaray have a home match against Olimpija Ljubljana in the return leg of their Champions League third qualifying round this Tuesday. The two go into the game with Turkish giants Galatasaray comfortably leading 3-0 from the opening leg of the round. The Turkish side is enjoying a good start to the season; unbeaten in four games so far. Galatasaray have two wins in the four matches and after their first leg win, will be expected to proceed here. They are coming from a 0-0 draw with Kayserispor in the domestic league. A similar outcome here will still be good enough. That result marked a third straight clean sheet for Galatasaray and they’ve scored two or more in two of four matches. Two of their last four matches have also produced over 2.5 goals. In the Champions League, four of Galatasaray’s last five matches have had over 2.5 goals.

Olimpija Ljubljana warmed up for this game with a 2-1 win over Domzale in the Slovenian league. The task here is bigger, as they need to win by four clear goals to proceed. This marks their return from the Champions League after last playing in the competition in 2018. They negotiated the first two rounds of the qualifiers, eliminating Valmiera (Latvia) and Ludogorets (Bulgaria). The win over Domzale was their third in five matches but they have just one clean sheet in the run. Each of their last four matches had over 2.5 goals and the same is the case in four of five away matches. Olimpija have two losses in four away matches, which further complicates their case here. Four of their last five Champions League matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
