Juventus vs Galatasaray betting tips 2 October 2013 Champions League: "Juventus continued their good form with a narrow 1:0 victory in a local derby over Torino away from home last weekend. Even though the teams shared ball possession during all match, Juventus was much more concrete and made much better chances, prevailing fairly with a goal from talented Pogba in 54th minute of the match."
With this victory, they improved the winning run to four matches now, three in domestic league, as the team has now 5-1-0 record and is located at the third position with two points less than Roma and same number of points as another in-form team Napoli. Their start of the Champions League group stage saw them drawing on the road against Copenhagen 1:1 in the game they have deserved much, much more. After that setback, there is no doubt that only the victory keep Juventus’s chances realistic as Real Madrid remains top candidate for the first position after the first round. Italian side will continue to be without midfielders Simone Pepe and Martin Caceres that didn’t even perform this season, while Mirko Vucinic and Carlos Tevez should be partners at the top of attack leaving Llorente and Quagliarella on the bench.
After a 1:1 home draw against Rizespor in the domestic league, which was their fifth game without a victory, Galatasaray appointed Roberto Mancini as their new coach, replacing Fatih Terim. However, it’s unlikely that he will be sitting on the bench tonight, as assistant coach Tafarrel should take the charge of the first team for this game.
As said, Galatasaray is completely out of form being with five matches without a victory, having five draws, while the only defeat came at the start of the Champions League as they have lost at home to Real Madrid with the score of 1:6. Up to some point, they stood pretty good in the first half-time as the visitors scored only one goal, but the second half was complete disaster as the team from Istanbul conceded five goals in thirty six minutes. One of their main offensive players, Wesley Sneijder is doubtful but still expected to recover for tonight’s game, while midfielder Altintop remains sidelined with injury.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Galatasaray’s last four games in the Champions League.
Galatasaray have conceded at least two goals in their last four matches in the Champions League.
Both teams have disappointed their fans in the first round and will have to attack from the very beginning of the game in order to show a better face. Galatasaray is a bit of a question mark for this game, but they surely have enough offensive power to make dangerous situation in front of much favorited Juventus, while their atmosphere has to be only better after the coach change.
Bet: Both teams to score
