Galatasaray vs Zalgiri Vilnius 02.08.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League qualification

Match Overview

Galatasaray take on Zalgiris Vilnius in the second leg of their second round match of the UEFA Champions League qualification competition on Wednesday. The visiting side, who hail from Lithuania, will be keen on putting up a confident showing as they travel away from home, but it will not be easy to do so at all. Galatasaray are known to be extremely strong on home turf.

Key Highlights

Having drawn the first leg encounter by a 2-2 scoreline, Galatasaray will be keen on eking out a positive result in this encounter. Vilnius will hope that the attackers of Galatasaray do not take a shine to their defenders and start pounding them needlessly. Galatasaray, who have won just one game out of the last five that they have played, will desperately want to win this match.

Injury Report

Fortunately for both teams, they do not have any major injuries in their respective squads. This means that they can now select their best possible starting lineups for this match.

Prediction

Although Galatasaray appear to be the downright favourites to win this game given that they will be competing on their home surface, they can't afford to take Vilnius lightly at all. They did so in the first leg and were punished by the two goals scored by the latter. Having been unbeaten in the last five matches that they have played away from home, Vilnius are expected to do well. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
