Galatasaray needs to improve as it meet Olimpija Ljubjana.
Galatasaray will continue its route to Champions League proper as it would be meeting with Slovenian champions Olimpija Ljubjana at the game where it would be coming as clear favourites but it would need to show much more stronger and effective performance compare to game against Zalgiris.
Even through Galatasaray did reach its aim at getting through Zalgiris during previous qualifiying round, it still didnt provide too much strong performance and has shown that it does need to improve but with signing some attacking players and them joining team it needs to be mentioned that team would be feeling much more creative. One of the issues which Galatasaray had its not being able to overpass defence against Zalgiris, and with Olimpija expecting to show similar performance, it would need to find solution but once again with Mauro Icardi joining team, side would be able to show more attacking focussed game.
With Galatasaray coming out as favourite in this tie, it would meet on play-off round if its get through also relevant going through as it would play with winners of Molde and KI Klaksvik.
Fenerbahce are likely to meet Twente next round if it passes Maribor.
Fenerbahce are going to meet with winners of Riga and Twente tie at the Conference League 3rd qualifying round if it manages to pass as expected Maribor as there is big chance it would be Dutch side.
It needs to be stated that if Fenerbahce manages to pass Maribor and Twente will not get suprising result from Riga, Fenerbahce could be getting tough opponent as it would be playing against side which does come from Dutch league and tends to be regular European competition and hence it would not be very good scenario, stating that Fenerbahce did make a very strong squad and hence in same time chances for Fenerbahce to get through will not be low. Stating that it would need to stay focussed for Maribor as it would need to give full concentration.
Even through rest of the road for Fenerbahce to Conference League might be seen bit tough it still would two tough qualifying stages coming for them
Besiktas could get tough side at play-off round
Besiktas are going to win with winners of Aris and Dynamo Kyiv if it manages to pass Neftci Baku as it is difficult to predict which side would be coming from that tie as both sides are being on European level and close to each other.
As Besiktas are not expected to have much many issues with Neftci Baku, it needs to be stated that it could be having difficult moments on field when meeting either with Aris or Dynamo Kyiv as both sides are being on level of Conference League at group stage and would without do they best to get into group stage and hence it is difficult to state which side it would prefer more during that tie. Stating that Azerbaijani side could also provide some pressure in upcoming ties.
Besiktas last step to get to Conference League proper does look to be tough but it is capable to get there.
