Galatasaray v Tottenham Betting Tips [8 November 2024]

A solid start to the Europa League league phase has both Tottenham Hotspur and Galatasaray’s knockouts chances alive. The two go into Match Day 4 action looking to extend their unbeaten starts. Here’s our prediction for the match hosted by Galatasaray.

The home team takes into this encounter a four-match winning run and an unbeaten streak of 11 matches. The only blemish they have in the Europa League so far is their shock Match Day 2 2-2 draw with Rigas, a game Gala led 2-0 in.

They rose from that though, and come here fresh from a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Besiktas.

Tottenham are also enjoying fine moments coming into this game. A 4-1 win over Aston Villa in their last match was a statement of their strength, if the earlier win against Manchester City wasn’t.

The two wins saw them recover from a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace, inconsistency that has highlighted their season. In their last 11 matches, Tottenham have won nine times and in that run they posted three straight wins in the Europa League.

It is those wins that place them top of the Europa League standings. This will be their toughest outing yet, and they’ll want to rise from two straight away losses.

Galatasaray and Tottenham are good attacking teams and so far their seasons are being defined by that aspect of their matches. Three times in the last five Europa League matches, Galatasaray scored three or more goals, and failed to keep a clean sheet.

Each of Spurs’ last five Europa League away matches also produced over 2.5 goals, with Spurs failing to score in just one. Going into this match, our prediction for Galatasaray v Tottenham Hotspur is for over 2.5 goals.
