Bookmakers are giving very high odds on Galatasaray passing 4.5... So far, the game looks without any clear advantage for either team... Only pity Obameyang couldn't score in the last minute of the first half!  I think the second half will be even more interesting... I also expect Sevilla's humiliation in England today! I hope West Ham will show what they can do! Wink

The odds of winning in regular time for Galatasaray are even higher - 9. It is very strange considering that Galatasaray has been playing on equal terms with Barcelona for 3 halves (considering the first game) and may well win. I think today Galatasaray is playing sharper than Barcelona, I don't know if they can keep that pace in the second half of the game but now they look better.

The first half match was dominated by Barcelona with 69% ball possession. Galatasaray have only capitalized on counter-attacking opportunities and set pieces so far that gave them the lead minutes before Pedri scored.

As you can see, Aubameyang and De Jong had good chances so far to score in the first half but both missed. Only Pedri actually managed to do it after his first attempt failed because it was not on target. The second half will be very interesting and I hope Barcelona can beat Galatasaray in this match with a win over 2 goals. That's possible in my opinion.

Barcelona is also having good control on the game, but it's very long way to go for both teams as Galagarasary already have some confidence after winning derby against Basiktas.

Edit2: What a start for Galatasaray they take early lead against Barcelona now we are going to have rain of goals in this match.
2 goals within 9 minutes and it's 1-1 now. The match is very interesting and both teams show their strength. Pedri did bring a confidence back to Barcelona but the match is still opened for both. What team will score a decisive goal to win eventually?

It's going to be a tough match for both like in the first leg. It looks like any team win from this match will not get it easily. Because opponent knows how to bring difficulty to another. Galatasary has their home stadium and they will have more support from it while Barcelona do have their motivation to win and move toward the Europa League trophy. It will help them to not only win a trophy but also place a spot in Champions League.

Messi is not happy in Paris so will he return to Barcelona after one season forced to leave? Come back and play in Champions League with Barcelona will bring more happiness to him and his family.

Interesting to see in the second half Galatasaray was quite challenging with his first goal then Pedri reply to goal  this would be a good surprise but for sure both are trying to win.

I'm confused with the match is the same because I want to see Liverkusen vs Atalanta on the other hand, Galatasaray v Barcelona looks even more interesting.

I bet on Barcelona and also Atalanta.
Both are away teams tonight.

Having a strong start isn't really a guarantee but who has advantage coming into the match and of course Braga already have that 2 : 0 advantage. I think this is going to boost the playing confidence of Braga players. Anyway, it is going to be an interesting match and I think the bigger role is on the coaches to make the right choices and playing pattern.
Monaco chance is slim in my opinion their performance is not convincing recently it will be difficult for them to overcome a 2 0 loss but there are other teams in my opinion with better chances to qualify like leverkusen and west ham. 
Here any prediction about any team and match is not easy because we all know about how these teams can change things in very quick time and Monaco is also having good record in this competition even they were not good at French League but still they manage good in this competition, so we can expect some good competition because these two teams for spot in next round.

After twenty minutes match Crvena zvezda have lead against Rangers but in all other matches teams are doing their work for taking most chances we can expect some good goals because right now these all teams are well-prepared and have enough strong squads for doing these aggressive moves for their salvage.

Barcelona is also having good control on the game, but it's very long way to go for both teams as Galagarasary already have some confidence after winning derby against Basiktas.

Edit: Braga is in driving seat as they also have early leads now Monaco is out as they need 4 goals if they want to qualify which is very difficult task for them.

Edit2: What a start for Galatasaray they take early lead against Barcelona now we are going to have rain of goals in this match.

The first goal came from Galatasaray, we watched a great goal from the corner. Galatasaray started with a good defense, I thought that he could score with counterattack and a goal was scored with a corner as a result of counterattack.
I started to feel like a surprise result will come, with good defense, Galatarasaray can pass this round Smiley

What's going on? Over 30 minutes played and Galatasaray leads 1-0 through Marcao. And there were enough chances for a result of 2:0. This week many favorit teams are not in a good mood. Exactly at this moment Petri shoots the 1:1, so it will be a nice game.
Just tuned in and saw Pedri goal, very nicely taken after sending a couple of Galata players scrambling past as cool as you like it. Barca was my main tip today and I really hope they will turn it around completely. Have a couple more games with both to score market.

Expected much more fireworks at Bayer-Atalanta game. Very weak first half by these teams standards.

Like a final match, the whole stadium rumbled from the first minute the match started. Galatasaray played with passion and they managed to make it difficult for Barcelona to build up attacks because they defended really well.

Actually De Jong had a 99% chance of a goal but his poor finishing saw him fail to score. However, the use of set pieces and counter-attacks by Galatasaray meant that Barcelona had to concede first in this match. But I believe Barcelona can overcome Galatasaray today. 1-1 now, Pedri scored.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

No one underestimates them at this stage as the slightest mistake made by Barcelona will determine their fate today in the Europa League. I can assure you that Barcelona will play at full strength in the second leg and Galatasaray will not be underestimated. Barcelona must win the second leg.

The first leg at Camp Nou was not at all lucky for Barcelona despite managing to dominate the match. Barcelona failed to score due to poor finishing and strong Galatasaray defense but today I hope Barcelona have to score. I will watch this match, hopefully my expectations for Barcelona are right. 1-4 for today's Barcelona win.
Galatasaray playing as the host has confidence and looks quite sure the match will be interesting, on the other hand I also support Barcelona in the second leg match even though at Camp Nou it can't be produced well but this match will be decisive for Xavi to qualify of course I am also tensed if Barcelona have to be eliminated.
How Barcelona is currently good with the track even the players have returned to normal with his skills that there is a change of players and also strikers Aubameyang, Adama, F. Torres are good weapons on the front lines for Barcelona.
My score prediction is 0-2.

What caught my attention the most was the Galatasaray vs Barcelona match...

I really wonder if this time Galatasaray will be lucky again to make a draw or even beat Barca. barca's performance has also improved greatly in the last few matches, here I am very sure that barca will win, the line-up has been circulated, can't wait to see this match start.
You've said it all, lucky but I don't if they will come close to anything like luck today. The Europa is the only trophy Barcelona has got any real chance towards winning and I don't think they would jeopardise it for any reason. Worst case scenario would be a draw but with there current form, I can't imagine Galatasaray seeing a draw in today's fixtures even with there playing from a home side. Barcelona is gojng to turn the whole game to there's, from possession which is undoubtedly there speciality and also, win the match.
Another interesting game to watch out for would be the Bayer Leverkusen vs Atalanta fixtures. It's game on already but I'm expecting a very competitive match.

Galatasaray  vs   Barcelona

The match between Galatasaray and Barcelona has started. And 10 minutes of the match time is over. In these 10 minutes, Galatasara made 4 shots, 2 of which were on target. Barcelona has not attacked well yet. They are keeping the ball in their possession. Ball possession Barcelona 80% and Galatasaray is only 20%. If Galatasaray playing aggressively in this match would be a big mistake. Because the Barcelona forward has the ability to score goals with a strong counterattack. I am expecting Barcelona to win this match. Let's see how Barcelona plays today. But the match seems to be enjoyable.

Galatasaray is a club that is consistent and cannot be underestimated for Barcelona, judging from Leg 1 alone, it can be seen that they have a solid team performance and play very well. Playing at home makes Galatasaray have plus points to host Barcelona. It will be a challenge for Xavi to break through the Galatasaray defense and end Leg 2 to take the ticket.

Galatasaray have not lost once in 2021-2022, so I think Barcelona are still a serious opponent tonight, especially in a foreign field. There might even be a penalty shoot-out at the end of the match, as Barcelona failed to win them at home. Of course I also think Barcelona should win, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't.

Barcelona still seems to be playing aggressively now with their 4-3-3 formation and now they are immediately strengthened with their new 3 strikers namely Auba, Ferran and Adama.
I think it will be a bit more promising now for Barcelona because indeed this is their best squad of the season if you look at the whole squad.
But it's a shame actually I wanted to see Gavi and Puig in this match but it seems Xavi has his own plans

In today's Europa League match my attention is on 2 matches  Galatasaray vs Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen vs Atalanta
In the first leg Barcelona without surprises only drew despite playing at home now the second leg I'm sure they still have hope
For Leverkusen vs Atalanta I am more interested in total goals and Both teams to score as we saw in the first leg 5 goals in total pretty sure both teams repeat it.

I am very sure that Galatasarai will not concede many goals, moreover Galatasarai is playing at home, of course they are increasingly confident, although on paper Barca can win this match, but I am very sure that Barca will not be able to score more than 2 goals. learning from experience in the first leg the defense of Galatasaray was very good, it is certain that Barca will have difficulty breaking into Galatasaray's goal tonight, we'll see later, if Barca manages to score more than 2 goals against Galatasaray, I'm ready to bet with anyone...

Zvezda/Monaco/Atalanta to score + Barca X2 @1.81 won

Zvezda should feel unlucky not to get anything from Ibrox in the first leg. Rangers' goals came all from set-pieces, while Zvezda squandered a million chances to score. Katai had two goals disallowed for offside and a missed pen in what was possibly the most miserable 25 minutes of his career.

Monaco is down two goals, but i believe they are the better team and will score at least one today. I wouldn't be surprised if they advance to the next round.

Leverkusen scored two goals in Bergamo despite having zero big chances and only one corner, i fancy Atalanta to score several goals (not just one) on counter-attacks.

I might add Katai to score + O2.5 to my tickets for around 3.50, hmm...

edit; Atalanta and Monaco with two late goals, tvm! Kiss
