Although Galatasaray had to face a sweet surprise against OFK Belgrade in Istanbul, they are still on their way in UEFA Europa League as a hammering victory was recorded with five goals in Serbia. They have some absents for this game. Sabri, Elano and Pino were not taken to the road because of their injuries. Coach Frank Rijkaard is not sure about choosing Baros has just recovered and Mehmet Batdal who is not used to play at the top level. The home side has survivedwith coach Mesut Bakkal after he has been appointed as they had no defeat with him. They have transferred pretty interesting names. Ceyhun Eris had a slight injury; but he will probably start in the first eleven.

There are always sweet surprises in the early weeks. Galatasaray has three absents. In the offence, Baros is expected to sit on the bench and Mehmet Batdal is not still used to play in this level.So I do not wanna back on any team. I prefer total goals 2-3.
For total goals 2-3, the best odds are at sportingbet and Bet365.
