Eintracht Frankfurt vs Galatasaray Predictions

• Galatasaray’s European fixtures (UCL & UEL) last season averaged 4.16 goals per game.
• Over 2.5 goals were scored in each of Frankfurt’s last three games with BTTS landing on each occasion.
• Galatasaray failed to win any of their seven away fixtures in European competitions last season.

Look to the goal markets for success in Frankfurt

Galatasaray have exploded out of the blocks in Turkey this season with five straight wins and 15 goals in the Super Lig, though sailing is unlikely to be quite as smooth in Frankfurt on Thursday evening.

Gala have invested heavily in big-name recruits over the past few years, though the bulk of their spending has been on their forward options, leaving their squad looking top-heavy.

With the likes of Victor Osimhen, Mauro Icardi, Alvaro Morata and Leroy Sane at their disposal, Galatasaray are never likely to be short on goals, though they have struggled to find the right balance between attack and defence in Europe in recent seasons.

From a betting perspective however, that has made Galatasaray a reliable performer. The Turkish giants played 12 matches in the Champions and Europa League last term and those games averaged a searing 4.16 goals.

Over 2.5 goals landed in ten of the same fixtures and nine went over 3.5, with both teams registering in 11 of Galatasaray’s 12 European tests across both competitions.

On that evidence, a high-scoring start to their latest Champions League campaign on Thursday feels probable and Eintracht Frankfurt look well-equipped to play their part.

Die Adler were beaten 3-1 by Bayer Leverkusen on Friday but won three games in a row before that, netting an impressive 12 times in the process. In addition, each of their first three Bundesliga tests of the new season in Germany delivered at least three goals with both teams scoring on each occasion.

Everything points to a high-octane evening at Deutsche Bank Park and combining over 2.5 goals with BTTS is the preferred avenue of approach, with a 2-2 draw tipped for correct score enthusiasts.

Galatasaray were winless in five attempts on the road in the Europa League last season, though they did share the spoils with their hosts three times and two of those draws finished 2-2. A similar outcome could be in the works in Frankfurt.
