I will be happy if Galatasaray does not concede more than 3 goals tonight Cheesy
They achieve surprising results in European matches, I agree. But this is not a group match, Barcelona will come quite prepared for this match. Therefore, I do not think that the score we will see will surprise us.
Maybe they can do something because the match will be played in İstanbul Smiley

I think the defense of Galatasaray is very solid and good which makes it difficult for Barcelona to score in the first leg, especially for goalkeeper Inaki Pena and in the second leg Gelatasary will improve his defense to host Barcelona at home. And took the opportunity to counter-attack, as Domenec Torrent knew Barcelona would step up his attack.
and there must be a change of strategy for barcelona and Xavi must improve because in the first leg there were many chances but did not score, the second leg will be a tense match because both aim to win and qualify for the next round. And I think both will score.
Galatasaray's performance is now starting to rise in the domestic league, hopefully this will be their spark in this Europa League.
But indeed their chances are still very difficult because their opponents can't be taken lightly. Barcelona is still a pretty tough opponent.
They will probably still apply the same strategy as Leg 2 by defending and occasionally attacking quickly because this is indeed the most effective thing to run than playing too openly.

Today, Barcelona will win the game with plenty of goals and pass the round. They missed incredible goals in the first match. This time, they will keep the job tight and score a goal at the beginning of the match. Aubameyang and Ferran Torres will seize the opportunities they find and back their teams. Galatasaray's chances of success at home with the same ultra defensive game plan is very low. They need miracle with this game.

I totally agree with you. Galatasaray's ability to score is low. So their only effort in this match will be not to concede a goal. Maybe we will see 10 players of the team in the role of defender today. However, in the defensive game, they will not be able to hold Barca's players. Aubameyang and Torrs are in good form now. Despite being able to stop these two, Barca's midfield is strong enough now. They have the ability to score goals.

I agree with you, Galatasaray is in the UEFA Europa League better than the Turkish league.
Yes, I think Barcelona will win tonight, but I don't want to say for sure. Because there are Galatasaray fans and they will create great pressure on Barcelona.
Better does not mean they will win Barcelona in the second leg. It is more risk for Barcelona when they have to play in Istanbul but they are still a stronger team. Barcelona still have greater opportunity to win but Galatasaray do have support from their home stadium and a draw in first leg gives them belief in themselves they they can do better than a draw.
If they can win in the second leg, they will win in aggregated result that is enough. They just need to win minimally but Barcelona will not let Galatasaray get it too easily
Have you seen Galatasaray's performance in the Super Lig? If you see their gameplay in this season, then you wouldn't call the team strong. Galatasaray are now 11th in the Super Lig. Their defense is very weak this season. They have conceded 42 goals in 29 matches. They will easily win if they play with some aggressive tactics of Barcelona. And Barcelona will score at least 2 more goals.

I know that it's risky for Barcelona to play in the situation in the second leg. But you know, they have been showing good performance recently. I believe they have really good team chemistry right now. Simply put they are the better team.

And it's quite the opposite for Galatasaray. They haven't played well in their own League. How they have drawn against Barcelona is still unbelievable to me!! I really don't think they are going to win in the second leg against Barcelona.

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.
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.
Against Galatasaray will be a test for Xavi to get out of the pressure due to the draw that Barcelona got in the 1st leg, against a team that has a strong enough defense like Galatasaray of course makes Xavi have to really think about the right tactics when playing later, I think Barcelona will not again may repeat the same mistakes as they did in the 1st leg last week if they want to get a ticket to the quarterfinals, a totality attack might be the solution for barcelona to win today match.

Monaco still have a chance to turn things the other way around. But they must make a strong start to this match to be able to make it happen.

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.

This is an opportunity for barcelona to take revenge after in the first leg barcelona was successfully held to a draw by galatasaray, I think barcelona game today will be no different from the one they played in the first leg by relying on short passes to break down Galatasaray defense, even though in the first leg barcelona lost His sharpness was due to a pretty good performance from the Galatasaray goalkeeper, but if we look at Barcelona match in the league yesterday of course they have now returned sharp in terms of scoring goals, even though Galatasaray is a dangerous opponent when they play at home, However, if Barcelona are able to display an offensive game like against Ossuna of course they have a chance to beat Galatasaray even with a narrow score.

I was really astonished when I saw that Braga defeated Monaco by 2-0 in the first leg. Monaco were a little better than them in this season and I thought that they would at least get a draw in that away match. But Braga had a really solid effort in terms of making use of their goal opportunities. And today in France, Monaco will have a really difficult job to do. I will follow this match closely too. Monaco still have a chance to turn things the other way around. But they must make a strong start to this match to be able to make it happen.

There is not much time left for the second legs to be underway. And the most impressive one to me is Galatasaray - Barcelona. The first leg of this draw ended up with a 0-0 tie in Camp Nou. And that was hell of a surprising game.  Grin  Galatasaray were very good at defending which helped them get this result. They will most probably hope to keep this performance level at least here too. But I expect a much more powerful Barcelona this time. And they would start with their full lineup too. I feel like they will make it to next round by having a decent win.
In the first match, Galatasaray was lucky, and of course the defense was good. But such luck cannot last forever, I think that Galatasaray will hold on until the first goal conceded and then crumble. If Barça can score an early goal, then there will be a lot of goals scored in the match, I don't think that Galatasaray will be able to count on a draw today.

I think that Barcelona will not make the mistakes they made in the last match in Istanbul today. I think they prepared a good tactic-organization to score early goals. Will Galatasaray defense be as lucky as last time today? Actually, Galatasaray can be considered motivated right now. They draw before and won the derby match, but it may not be enough against Barcelona.

Barcelona seem to be in trouble because they drew with Galatasaray at home and will have to play away in Turkey today. For some reason I have no doubt that Barcelona will win, but looking from yesterday's game between Juventus and Villarreal, anything can happen today.

There is way to much difference in quality between the two teams.I also think Barcelona will have an easy win tonight in Turkey just because of the quality they have compared to Galatasaray.I know how great the Turkish fans and the atmosphere in the stadium is but I am afraid that will not be enough to stop Barcelona from winning and going further.Barcelona started the season really badly and is now in fight in the top places in La Liga and sure they will want to add up to their performance something more,kinda like trying to win Europa League,they have all the possibilities to do so if they commit to it.

in the world of football anything can happen, but in this match I believe Barcelona will come out victorious. We can see the comparison between Villareal vs Juventus. This is Barcelona in their last few games, barcelona always finish with a big score, this is a very strong reason why I believe Barcelona will come out victorious.

agree, Barca should win, but it would be harder than if they won first match
nevertheless, it is a good bet on them tonight to win

Bayer is playing Atalanta, after 2:3 in first match, expecting many goals tonight, Sevilla has to defend 1:0 from first match in England
Eintracht Frankfurt have advantage from first leg over Betis, but I expect a lot of fight tonight

Anything can happen in a football match, maybe Barca have a big chance to beat Galatasarai at home to Galatasarai, although Barca didn't manage to score in the first leg, I'm very optimistic that Barca will be able to score a goal away to Galatasarai, even though Galatasaray are unbeaten in the Europa League. ligue, maybe this will be their first defeat, and at the same time they were eliminated from the European league, the score was 2-1 for Barca's victory tonight.
Because the advantage from home-away goal is cancelled by UEFA so at least two clubs will have fair chance in the second leg match. They only need to win it to get a aggregated win. If that match ends with a draw, they will have to play extra time or have penalty shoot-out.

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.
Their recent form and their first leg match with Barcelona do show they are a tough opponent for Barcelona. In addition, they will have another factor, their home stadium in the next match with Barcelona. Playing against Galatasaray in their home stadium is never easy for European clubs. Let's see how Xavi and Barcelona players will play this one.

I agree with you. Galatasaray have performance so badly own league. You said that Galatasaray are now 11th in the Super Lig.Unfortunately, this situation is quite pathetic for Galatasaray. If Barcelona play aggressive, I think Galatasaray will lose very badly. A lot of Galatasaray fans think like me too. Nevertheless I want Galatasaray to pass the tour.
