Galatasaray vs Parma Prediction and Betting Tips | July 27th 2024 

Galatasaray will face Parma at the Raiffeisen Arena on Saturday in a pre-season friendly between the two teams. Turkish giants Galatasaray endured a slow start to their pre-season campaign suffering a 3-2 defeat to LASK in their opening game before losing 5-2 to German side Fortuna Dusseldorf days later.

However, they returned to winning ways in their third game beating Trencin 4-1 in largely convincing fashion before picking up a 2-1 win over Lecce last time out, featuring goals from Hakim Ziyech and Wilfried Zaha.

Parma have returned to Serie A after a three-season absence and have now begun work towards retaining their top-flight status next season. After losing to Lugano in their first pre-season outing, I Crociati beat Royal Antwerp 2-1 in their last match with Anthony Partipilo and Hernani netting a quickfire double to overturn a one-goal deficit.

Following Saturday's game, the Italian outfit will lock horns with Heidenheim in Austria next week in more pre-season clash while Galatasaray will return to competitive football, facing rivals Besiktas in the Turkish Super Cup.
