Galatasaray vs Olimpija Prediction and Betting Tips | August 15th 2023

Galatasaray will host Olimpija at the Rams Park Stadyumu on Tuesday in the second leg of their third-round UEFA Champions League qualification clash.

The home side enjoyed a brilliant campaign last season, winning their first Turkish Super Lig title in four seasons, and are now targeting a spot in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. They opened their league campaign on Saturday with a goalless draw against Kayserispor and will be disappointed not to have come away with maximum points.

Olimpija began their Champions League qualification campaign with a 4-2 aggregate win over Latvian outfit Valmiera last month. They were then drawn against Ludogorets in the next round, playing out a 1-1 draw in the first leg before picking up a 2-1 win in a tense return leg on home turf.

Galatasaray already have a foot in the Champions League playoffs after picking up a 3-0 win in the first-leg clash between the two sides last week. Kerem Akturkoglu, Dries Mertens and former Brentford man Halil Dervisoglu got on the scoresheet for the Turkish outfit.
