Team Analysis
So far, AZ Alkmaar surpasses Galatasaray in all respects. In the current Europa League campaign, the teams have met twice on the field, and in both instances, the Dutch team looked more favorable. If on November 28, Okan Buruk's squad managed to take a draw from the Netherlands (1-1), then last week in the first leg of the playoffs, they were utterly destroyed (1-4).

Goaloo Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Galatasaray is the clear favorite for this particular match. Overall, we see no reason to disagree with them. Initially, Okan Buruk's team had more chances to advance to the next round of the Europa League. The Turkish club has a more balanced squad, many stars in the roster, and is having a much more stable season than AZ Alkmaar. However, there are situations when a team completely fails due to external circumstances, such as a red card. Now, the hosts have no choice but to push forward and seek their fortune at the opponent's goal. Considering that since the beginning of September, the "Lions" have failed to win at home only in 4 instances (12 wins and 4 draws), our key betting option will be a Galatasaray victory. We dare to predict that regular time will end with a score of 3-0, and the ticket to the next round will be decided in a penalty shootout.

Pick: Galatasaray Istanbul Win
