Galatasaray got an important lesson from Molde without paying too much damage.
Galatasaray has reached to the Champions League group stage after beating Molde at home ground with 2:1 scoreline and with an aggregate scoreline of 5:3, but it needs to be mentioned that Molde did provide some difficult moments to Istanbul giants.
In fact, and in all fairness, when coming into how much effort has been given at 180 minutes and also during 2nd leg game, Molde has been better side as it had much better organisation but did lack quality legs compare to Galatasaray and hence to some extend that home supporters in 2nd leg and also quality generally in tie has been decider at this tie. With taking account that on group stage there would be much more difficult clubs, this game has been a valuable lesson which Galatasaray would take out a lot prior to group stage as luckily it didnt turn into negative factor. Galatasaray still did reach into group stage and this also has played an important role as its detirmanation did help side.
Galatasaray would found its opponents at Champions League during group draw where it would be coming out as 4th pot and logically would opponents which are stronger than them.
Adana Demirspor will aim to turn around tie against Genk.
Adana Demirspor without doubt would be having most toughest game among Conference League Turkish clubs as it would be aiming to turn around 2:1 deficit but it does have home factor advantage.
As been noted on our blogs before and after 1st leg, Adana Demirspor does provide different performances at home ground and away at Europe mainly due of its experience, and it needs to be noted despite of loss, 1 goal deficit is being possible to turn around. However, Adana Demirspor would need to provide patient game against Gent as it does have experienced side at qualifiying stages at Europe compare to Adana Demirspor, and hence side would need to show full concentration and patient performance and pay attention to defence as goal from Genk could provide some serious issues at this tie.Adana Demirspor also have strong home support and it would need to use to its advantage.
Adana Demirspor has difficult task without doubt against Genk but there are some factors which keeps hopes high for them.
Besiktas needs to be calm against Dynamo Kyiv
Besiktas would be coming out to Dynamo Kyiv tie with an aim to build on its advantage scoreline of 3:2 as it would be playing at home ground as it would play against side which aims to turn tie.
It needs to be mentioned that Dynamo Kyiv due of on-going Russian invasion to Ukraine, as other clubs in Europe, tends to play with emotions with an aim to bring some good news to suffering home ground. Therefore, Dynamo Kyiv would be playing in emotional matter and hence Besiktas would need to stay calm and patient as it has advantage of scoreline. Meanwhile, Besiktas supporters would need to keep themselves outside of war issue as Fenerbahce behaviour in last season during which Vladimir Putin scants has been taken only provided bad image to the club and almost went into diplomatic levels. Besiktas without doubt would need to give everything to win game but still some respect as always would need to be given to opponent.
Besiktas are being favourites for sure and key here is to provide calm game with an early goal surely would be an important plus for them during game.
