Galatasaray - Atletico: betting tip (cf 3.95) and bets on the Champions League match

Current form

Galatasaray has assembled a very powerful team by name and certainly expected to compete for a place in the playoffs. However, Okan Buruka's team was not considered a contender for a place in the top eight, the competition for direct entry to the 1/8 finals was off the charts. The lions started with a crushing 1-5 defeat by Eintracht away, but then sensationally outplayed Liverpool 1-0 at home.

The victory over the Reds marked the beginning of Galatasaray's winning streak in the matches against Bulde/Glimt and Ajax (3-0) managed to take six points. However, in recent rounds, the lions have slowed down again, losing first sensationally at home 0:1 to Union, and then with the same score away 0:1 to Monaco. So far, the Turkish champion is in 18th place in the table with nine points.

Before the start of the season, Galatasaray was considered the main and undisputed favorite in the Turkish Super League, having an advantage in player selection over all competitors. At the moment, the lions are leading the table with 43 points, but they are only one point ahead of Fererbahce, while the third Trabzonspor has only five points less. The whole fight for the title is still ahead.

Current form

By the start of the Champions League, Atletico was approaching as a clear contender for a place in the top eight – the selection of players obliged the mattresses to set themselves such tasks. Diego Simeone's team had serious problems on all fronts before the start of the season, and the 2-3 defeat by Liverpool in the first round was not a big sensation, but gradually Madrid were able to improve.

For the defeat in the first round, Atletico fully rehabilitated itself in a duel against Eintracht, defeating the Eagles 5:1 at home. However, things are not going well with the representatives of the Premier League this season, as the 0-3 defeat by Arsenal made the task more difficult. However, this is the last mistake to date – victories over Union (1:0), Inter (2:1) and PSV (3:2) allowed them to rise to eighth place in the table.

In the Spanish championship, Atletico was initially considered a contender for the championship title and probably set himself maximum goals, but the start of the championship was a failure. Gradually, the mattresses have gained shape, but so far they occupy the fourth place in the table with 41 points in the asset and are eight points behind the leader of Barcelona - so far such a handicap still leaves chances.
