It was a very interesting match, from the first minute Molde continued to press Galatasaray defense, until they finally succeeded to scored first. Although there were actually many golden opportunities for them, but only Ellingsen header goal could nestle into Galatasaray. Molde actually played quite well, but they made a mistake and Galatasaray was able to reverse the situation in the end, at the moment the score of that match is 1-2 Galatasaray leading. Very Nice game.
So far it's good and we have seen three goals already but with the way the tempo of the game is going I think by second half we are definitely going to see more goals to come. Although like you said molde had the upper by starting better but it's much expected since there are playing from home and I think if they keep it up they can definitely equalise the game and make it an all tie before the half ends.

Somehow Galatasaray have managed to make a comeback by finding 2 goals in 2 shots. Molde have many more attempts than them. Galatasaray need to tighten their defense more against their opponent. There is normally a huge quality gap between these teams. We should be able to see this in the match as well. Galatasaray had defensive problems in the previous draws as well and the situation is still going on. Maybe they are able to find a way to make up for it against smaller teams.
But the group stage can end really badly for Galatasaray if they don't solve their main issues in defense.

Even though it seems that Galatasaray is quite interested and or favored to win in some of the existing predictions but in reality, at this moment the available odds do not show that Galatasaray is projected to win. Maybe, because this is the first leg and also, Galatasaray will play away. It looks like that also affects Galatasaray not being the favorite to win in this match. After all, Molde isn't really weak at all, so yes, it's only natural that Galatasaray might not be able to win easily in this match, and maybe the end result will be a draw.
Galatasaray team is my favorite in today's match. However, Molde is not a weak team. And more importantly today's match is Molde's home match. All teams are strong in home matches. And so even though Galatasaray is a strong team, it will not be easy for Galatasaray to win against Molde today.Martin's goal gave Molde the lead in just 8 minutes. And Molde is playing very attacking strategy. Galatasaray, on the other hand, have been playing defensively since the start of the match, yet they have conceded a goal. Monde managed to make 6 shots in 25 minutes. On the other hand, Galatasaray has not been able to make a single shot yet. I bet for Galatasaray. However, Galatasaray does not seem to be able to win if they perform like this.
Looks like you won't lose money. There is no doubt that the team at Galatasaray is strong. Molde played attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. And Galatasaray didn't attack too much. But after 20 minutes this team started attacking. Sergio Oliiveira's goal in the 25th minute equalized the match for Galatasaray and Icardi's goal in the 29th minute gave Galatasaray a 2-1 lead. In the 30th minute, Galatasaray had only 2 shots, two on target and Galatasaray managed to score from both. This team is experienced enough. Molde should have kept the defense tight and then attacked. However, Molde still played attacking tactics. And so there is a possibility of seeing many more goals in this match. We saw three goals in just 30 minutes.
Last night, the first legs of the UEFA Champions League play-off round started. The most unpredictable match of the night was the Rangers v PSV match. Rangers drew with PSV 2-2. I guess PSV gonna make it's way into UEFA Champions Leagues group stages.
Copenhagen, on the other hand, defeated their weak opponent 1-0 away and got a comfortable win. I guess Copenhagen will go to easyly UEFA Champions Leagues group stages.
Yes, Copenhagen made a good away win and will surely win the next home game. But from yesterday's games the most interesting game was Rangers and PSV. Both teams played very well and I don't know who can win next time.Copenhagen, on the other hand, defeated their weak opponent 1-0 away and got a comfortable win. I guess Copenhagen will go to easyly UEFA Champions Leagues group stages.
PSV was definitely the more dominating team in that match against Rangers. They had the most amount of possession. But I definitely think that they could do better while defending. Credit goes to Rangers for being able to take the chances well that they had. I think in the second leg PSV will try to make sure that they win and go forward in the competition.
Copenhagen was actually blessed with its own goal. After that, they definitely did concentrate a lot on defending the lead that they got luckily. They are also going to carry forward the lead in the second leg. But I don’t think it is going to be a substantial lead. They cannot sit on it and keep defending.
I agree with you.
There are three more great play-off match tonight before starting the UEFA Champions League group stage. I will prefer to watch the Galatasaray-Molde match. But I feel that the Braga-Panathinaikos match will also be very enjoyable.
Galatasaray's starting XI against Molde: Muslera, Boey, Abdülkerim, Nelsson, Angelino, Berkan, Oliveira, Yunus, Mertens, Kerem, Icardi. NK Molde's starting XI against Galatasaray: Karlstrom, Tiedemann, Hagelskjaer, Haugen, Linnes (Knudtzon), Eikrem, Mannsverk, Grodem, Lovik, Kitolano, Brynhildsen.

While I believe Pep is a coaching genius, honestly, I have my reservations about City's performance this season. I mean, the big teams don't have a clear advantage, and it feels like City is currently in murky waters! And if I'm being honest, with the current wave of player injuries, it looks like Pep's in a bit of a pickle. At the start of the season? Really? They're already facing hurdles! Although, I did catch wind that Guardiola went under the knife for some minor issue and will be back post-international break. Perhaps he’s trying to match the physical fitness of his players? Now that's commitment! But seriously, will the second-tier players step up? Hmm, it's anyone's guess
This has never happened before in Guardiola's coaching career at Manchester City. However, these are unforeseeable occurrences that cannot be avoided. He is a tactician who is widely known for his ability to deal with and confront problems like this. I also have worries about how this club will perform this season and whether they will be able to win at least a double trophy this season, as opposed to the treble they earned last season. If Pep Guardiola can still come out of this situation strong and win all of the games before those injured players return, I will have more faith in his ability to repeat what he did last season with this team. We can only speculate, until we see how their next match against Sheffield United will be which is suppose to be an easy win for them.

Indeed for the odds of this match, Galatasaray is not too favored to win. Currently the odds available for Galatasaray are @2.48, while the home team are at @2.70. Maybe the bookies see that the both of teams have just met, and so far Molde is also playing at home not too bad, the home team has not lost in several home games in all competitions. So it seems like the both teams are on the same level at the moment. To bet I prefer btts yes because Molde is likely to be able scored at home, while Galatasaray is also likely can scored goals too because Icardi performance is getting better, before he was able to score 2 goals in the domestic league against Trabzonspor. 
Snip.
Pep Guardiola was already in history as a great player he was and one of the best coaches in the history of football in terms of quantity, quality, and tactical richness In terms of his contribution to the game he is now only ahead quantitatively speaking ahead Sirsir Alex Ferguson who has 49 trophies to his name pep Guardiola impact in football can not be overstated. His tactical brilliance and relentless pursuit of success have not only led to numerous honors for his team but have also inspired other coaches around the continent.The success of Manchester City in the last few seasons in the EPL and winning the UCL trophy has made Pep Guardiola start being compared to Sir Alex Ferguson. These two different generation coaches are equally great, when greatness meets greatness it is difficult to choose one of them. Guardiola still has the opportunity to add to the trophy collection for the club he coaches because he is still active as a manager, while Sir Alex Ferguson has long left the world of football.
Last season cup and the new history that Guardiola managed to get made him confident to apply that strategy this season again to get the second trophy that he will get even though at the start of this season it looked bad but for me City and Pep Guardiola can get through all of this.

It's too early to talk about City's problems. The season has just started and the players have not yet got into the rhythm of the game until the end. In addition, the squad has changed a bit, Gündogan left Man City, but the rest of the key players remained. I will wait for City's first game in the Champions League and after that I will start to draw conclusions about the club's playing condition.

It's natural for doubts to come when slowly the club's problems begin to emerge one by one. and at the same time, also other clubs are showing improvement. Pep has a solid squad depth, and also he has a solid foundation, I think it will be a weapon that will ultimately allow them to survive in the midst of problems, such as a storm of injuries for example.
So far I see them still doing well, and that's a positive signal.
But if we're talking about the Champions League, it's obviously not going to be easy to be here consistently.

When I look at the matches to be played tonight, our representative Galatasaray will be looking for a win away to Molde. It will be a difficult match for Galatasaray and we can say that at least with a draw here, they will be guaranteed to pass the round. I think it could be a match where both teams can find goals.
As for the Braga-Panathinaikos match, I think Braga is the heavy favorite and Braga will get a result at home to guarantee a place in the round. Thanks to Bruma, who they transferred from Fenerbahce, we can say that they have reduced their problems in finding goals.
As for Maccabi Haifa-Young Boys,I expect a tough match for both teams. It is hard to predict what can happen in this match, but the home team is one step ahead.

The most important match of yesterday was definitely Rangers vs PSV. We know that both teams have good results in this arena and I expected the match to be competitive. It was risky for me to bet on both sides because I couldn't predict exactly what would happen in the match. Although PSV had more possession in the match, both teams played well. PSV had the advantage in such a match because they got a draw away from home. I think they will advance at home.
PSV played more attacking but they left some space for the Rangers players to use to counterattack. PSV played with excellent ball possession. unfortunately they lost some focus and failed to win in that match. luckily they responded well to every goal Rangers made. and forced the fight to end in a draw. not a bad result. but PSV had to pay attention to some mistakes in the match the two met in the second leg.

I don't think Rangers team is weak either. But I would definitely put rangers behind psv . The PSV team is quite strong and stable. and I do not see rangers players playing very well in this match against psv. Rangers should have done better in the home match. However the rangers players managed to draw the match. Even then we saw the dominance of psv's players in rangers' home matches. Psv will be able to show such dominance in the next match, Psv will win the second leg. I think rangers have less chance of qualifying for champions league.
Even so psv will have to perform very cautiously. Because there is no way to call the squad of Rangers weak. This team has the potential to win against psv with a good performance .
I can say that both Antwerp and Copenhagen ended as I expected. I thought Antwerp could beat AEK and that's what happened. When we look at the squads, we can say that Antwerp is one step better. Antwerp's in-form striker and former Fenerbahce player Vincent Janssen scored the winning goal for his team. He managed to reach 5 goals in 5 games this season. Of course they lost control of the game after the red card, but not conceding a goal for 40 minutes was a great achievement for them. After Antwerp were reduced to 10 men, AEK were in complete control of the ball but couldn't find a goal.
