Galatasaray and Molde will meet in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round on Tuesday 23 August 2023. The match will be played at the Nef Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.
Galatasaray is the favorite to win the tie. They are the Turkish champions and have a strong team that includes the likes of Kerem Akturkoglu, Sofiane Feghouli and Radamel Falcao. Molde are the Norwegian champions, but they don’t have as much experience as Galatasaray in European competition.
Molde have been unbeaten in their last eight home games in the Champions League (including qualifying), but have only won one of their last 20 away games in the competition. Galatasaray, on the other hand, have kept five clean sheets in their last six games.
The match is expected to be close, but Galatasaray are the slight favourites. They have a better squad and more experience in European competition. However, Molde will be confident of getting a result at home.
