Young Boys vs Galatasaray Predictions

• Young Boys have not won any of their five league games this season
• Both teams have scored in four of Young Boys’ five matches
• Eight of Galatasaray’s 14 European games last season went over 3.5 goals

Hosts struggling

Galatasaray fell short in the Europa League knockout play-off round last season, losing out to Sparta Prague, but they did top the Turkish Super Lig and will be aiming to reach the Champions League group stages for back-to-back seasons. 

They take on Swiss side Young Boys, who have had a disappointing start to the campaign.

The hosts have taken just two points from a possible 15 in their first five matches of the new season and look vulnerable when they face this Galatasaray side.

Gala fancied

Gabriel Sara, Hakim Ziyech and Michy Batshuayi have arrived to bulk up the visitors’ attacking options, alongside Dries Mertens, Mauro Icardi and Wilfried Zaha.

That lineup should be too strong against a team that has struggled as much recently as Young Boys have.

The hosts have conceded 13 goals in those five matches and against the dynamic forward line of their Turkish opponents, they could find themselves in trouble.

Side with Galatasaray to give themselves a big advantage with an away win in this first leg.

Both teams have scored in four of Young Boys’ five games this season so take a 3-1 win for the Turkish away side.
