Head-to-Head
The teams Galatasaray Istanbul vs Tottenham Hotspur | Free Prediction have no history of head-to-head encounters. The upcoming match will be their first.
Galatasaray
The Turkish champion is not slowing down in the new season. The team is solely leading the Super League table, having only one slip-up in 10 matches. In the last round, Okan Buruk’s protégés took revenge on Beşiktaş (2:1) for the memorable defeat in the Super Cup. As for the Europa League, Galatasaray also looks confident, having 7 points to their name. There was only a lapse in Riga, where they shared points with RFS (2:2). The hosts will enter the upcoming match almost at full strength. Only Ismail Jakobs, the main left-back, is unavailable due to an injury sustained a couple of weeks ago.
Tottenham
The “Spurs” have also started the season quite successfully. There are, of course, occasional poor performances, but overall the team’s results are pleasing to fans. They are just a couple of points away from the Premier League top-4, have reached the quarterfinals of the English League Cup, and are among the leaders in the Europa League – these are the interim successes of Ange Postecoglou’s team. Even extensive rotation doesn’t prevent the “Lilywhites” from winning one European match after another. Their victims include: Qarabag (3:0), Ferencváros (2:1), and AZ (1:0) – quite strong opponents. The only concern is the squad situation. To the already injured Odobert and van de Ven, Richarlison and Romero were added after the recent game against Aston Villa (4:1). Thus, there will be no one from the main defensive pair.
Prediction on Goals
So far in the Europa League, Tottenham has conceded only one goal, but it happened away – in Hungary. It’s very hard to imagine that the “Spurs” will leave Istanbul with a clean sheet. Galatasaray has not left the field without scoring in 11 consecutive matches and will likely score again to delight their fans. Therefore, a bet on Both Teams to Score (Yes) seems optimal to us. Moreover, it has hit in 5 consecutive matches for the “Lions” in Europe’s second most significant club competition.
Prediction on Corners
Both teams generate a large number of corners. In the last 10 matches across all tournaments, Galatasaray averages 6.7 corner kicks per game, while Tottenham averages even more – 7. The match promises to be rich in opportunities, so confidently bet on total over 9.5 corners.
Match Prediction
Everyone knows how difficult it is to play in Turkey, especially against the country’s strongest team. Last season, Manchester United and Bayern Munich faced serious challenges at “Rams Park,” and since then, its hosts have hardly become weaker. The likelihood of Tottenham winning in Istanbul with a semi-main squad seems extremely low to us. We believe that the home team has significantly more chances for success and dare to suggest that they will emerge victorious, perhaps with a score of 2:1. But since odds allow for hedging, it would be foolish not to do so. Our key bet is Galatasaray not to lose.
