UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[MK-74]

Galatasaray was very bad last night, they drew with D.Kiev who only scored 1 goal in the league.
There is no explanation for this draw. We cannot maintain the score in the matches we are ahead.
Muslera needs to retire now, all the shots the teams have taken this season have been goals.
Gabriel Sara's absence is evident in the team.
Icardi must return urgently.

[Cityhunter34]

I lost the bet. Galatasaray's performance today will disappoint me a lot. They failed to win against a weak team like Dynamo Kyiv. More importantly, Galatasaray conceded three goals in this match.

Dynamo Kyiv's attack is very weak. So I never imagined that DynamoKyiv players would score three goals against a team like Galatasaray. Galatasaray's defense was very weak today. If the defense cannot strengthen, it is possible for Galatasaray to dominate the Europa League. Galatasaray is a strong team. But I would say that Galatasaray needs to be more tactical.

Galatasaray's defense has been a setback for them because they were already leading by 2:0 and just all of a sudden, Dynamo Kyiv scored and later the match ended 3:3 so it was really a great disappointment by the Galatasaray team today and i will advise that anyone who want to stake a bet on Galatasaray's matches should either play both teams to score or over goals in order to be in the safer side because i found out that most of their games often ends with either a lot of goals or both teams ending up scoring but to trust Galatasaray to win a match confidently will be a big risk. Galatasaray's defenders need to guide the defense line carefully and not allow their opponent to always break through easily and score especially at a time when they are taking the lead. They failed in their duties as defenders.

Galatasaray performance yesterday was very poor, just imagine the small odd that was being given to them but still they failed to win Dynamo Kyiv that is very weak, and even though on their home ground. Sometimes betting on home win or away wins with small odds isn't really advisable, had it been I bet them both teams to score or draw I would have been on the saver side, the odds self would have been even more better than this their home winning odds that they finally lost to Dynamo Kyiv like this, sometimes football is always unpredictable.

Seventh round starts today with one match.

Who do you support? Galatasaray or Dynamo Kiev?

The results of this match really did not match my expectations, and maybe you also feel that this match was really beyond your predictions. Because how could this match end in a draw? Because we all believe and predict that Galatasaray will win this match easily. But in reality Galatasaray actually had quite a difficult time in this match and in the end were unable to get the full 3 points. I was really disappointed with Galatasaray's performance in this match, because in the first half Galatasaray played very well and were able to score 2 opening goals. At that time I felt that Galatasaray would really score a lot of goals in this match.

However, when the second half started, Dynamo Kyiv began to show its sharpness and was able to score one goal. After that the situation turned around, initially Galatasaray dominated the match, but in the end it was Dynamo Kyiv who dominated the match and were able to score 2 additional goals afterwards. Then in this match Osimhen only scored one goal from the penalty spot, in my opinion his performance was also less than satisfactory in this match. And with this draw, Galatasaray's current ranking is very unsafe. Because if the teams below them can win this 7th match, I think Galatasaray will experience a fairly drastic drop in ranking. The reason is, currently competition in the European League is very tight.

I don't understand how Dynamo Kyiv scored three goals in this match. Galatasaray is a strong team. In the past matches we have seen much better performances from Galatasaray's defenders. But in this match against Dynamo, Galatasaray's defenders and goalkeeper performed atrociously.

The interesting thing is that Dynamo players had a total of 6 shots in this match. Three of them were on target. And Dynamo Kyiv managed to score all three goals. Galatasaray's overall performance was good. If the defenders and goalkeepers had performed a little better, Galatasaray would have earned the full 3 points in this match. It is now completely uncertain for Galatasaray to be in the top 8 of the points table.

[mammusu]

I was suprised myself to see them give away such opportunity with they already had control over well that's football for you.. you never get to know the final outcome till the whistle is blown and this was exactly their case today cause they let their goal advantage slip right through their finger which is disappointing owing to the huge number of gamblers that would have bet them to win that game .

The surprise happened in the game and perhaps the final result was beyond the expectations of punters who bet on Galatasaray because it shouldn't be difficult to beat Dynamo Kyiv. If you look at Galatasaray's performance in the first 45 minutes it looked good and they had a number of chances to score goals, but Dynamo Kyiv didn't give up and kept looking for a gap to equalize even though Galatasaray kept pressing. Dynamo Kyiv started to gain confidence and they managed to equalize through Yarmolenko in the 68th and 81st minutes so the game looked much more balanced until the end of the match.

Before the match started, I think that the match would be very easy for Galatasaray, because compared to Dynamo Kiel, precisely their performance was in good condition and also unbeaten so far, my confidence increased when the first half they actually won 2-1 over Dynamo Kiel when the first half ended, but the second half was actually a disaster for Galatasaray when the Dynamo managed to rise and was even able to score two goals to equalize the score make 3-3, To be honest, although they managed to avoid defeat, getting 1 point from a team like Dynamo Kiel was a big loss for them.

• Besiktas vs Athletic Bilbao (BTTS)

After the draw incident that Galatasaray got against a weak team, in this match I don't want to expect too much. Bilbao might experience the same thing in the match against Besiktas. Because Bilbao's position is very safe and a draw or even a loss will not change Bilbao's fate which will still qualify for the next round. And today for me the most comfortable bet is to choose BTTS to cover the risks that occur.

Galatasaray match cna not be compared to this game because I expect Besiktas to take the match very seriously seeing the position of Bilbao already in the competition,  Bilbao is playing from away they may try to punish Besikas team if they fail to defend well but if the home team means business tonight they should take advantage and get 3 points because I don't think Bilbao will want to stress themselves mush since they are already saved due to their position and points. Placing a both team to score for the match is not bad but I hope Bilbao will not hold the home team to a 0:0 draw because they are the stronger opponent in this game.

Galatasaray is gradually becoming a weak team in defense due to the level of cheap goals they concede not just in this Europa League but also in their domestic league I hope the manager does something to strengthen their defense soon because they have a very good attackers already.

Lol! It's indeed miraculous to see a team that scored just one goal in six matches scoring three whole goals against Galatasary. Seriously, even u19  teams would have won against Kiev but Gala drew the game due to their unseriousness. It baffles me how they scored three goals and felt relaxed as if it was all over and allowed Kiev to get back into the game and equalised. I have always said it that Galatasary would really be in trouble in case they found themselve in a more competitive group with serious clubs. By the way, where was the goal keeper and the defenders? They really did not perform their duty effectively.

Over confidence was what caused such poor performance from Galatasaray. Galatasaray underestimated Dynamo Kyiv and that cost them sharing point with their visitors. A weak team took over the game in the second half and Galatasaray couldn't do anything to secure their victory due to their weak defense.

Betting on Galatasaray to win a match this day is a taking a big risk, I don't even understand what is wrong with Galatasaray, the team can not play without no conceding any goal, Galatasaray will win a match with 3:0 and before the match ends they will concede 2 or 3 goals and draw the match, I didn't bet that Galatasaray to win the match, I bet on both teams to score more than two goals and that is exactly what happened in the match because Galatasaray is not that team to trust at this moment.

I think Galatasaray needs good defenders because attackers always do their best by scoring goals but the defensive players are not serious, the reason why I blame defensive players is that is through them that the opponent will go and score a goal, although it is teamwork to make sure they didn't concede too many goals but to be honest Galatasaray defensive players are not too good to keep a clean sheet, it has been a long time seeing Galatasaray having a clean sheet.

[SmartCharpa]

I wasn't shocked by Galatasaray's draw because it is all they are great at this season. Galatasaray may lead an opponent by four gaps of goals and still draw the game at the end. Galatasaray's defense is terrible, and if there is anything worse than terrible that is what they are this season. Galatasaray must concede a goal regardless of how poor their opponent is. Galatasaray was without a clean sheet in their previous 11 games in all competitions due to poor defense.

Galatasaray must correct their faults at this moment, otherwise, they risk losing important points. They dropped two points against Dinamo Kyiv, a team who had never won a single Europa League game in its previous six and earned their first point against Galatasaray. Many gamblers would be upset with the result because they expected the home team to win the match. Despite the high odds, I bet on both teams scoring since Galatasaray is capable of doing so, and both teams scored three goals.

I'm tired to see how Galatasaray always did it badly. They keep get draw or lose against random ass team european competition, which makes me baffled. Their squad is full of dogshit especially Okan. He's no clue about how to play, and relied too much on his individual talent. He has to left from the club.

I think even with their shitty draw, it's never been a wake up call for them, and importantly to mention how Osimhen is not even meet his price. He's fuckin overpriced striker.

I can't take their shitty result anymore. It's disgusting.

You look funny, we can't blame a striker in a situation where the defense is terrible, Osimehn's job as a striker is to help the team win games, and if I'm not wrong, Osimehn has scored 15 goals in 19 games since joining the club, isn't that worth the price? Osimehn is not the cause of the team's poor defense, he cannot be a striker while also defending. Osimehn is doing what he was brought to the club to do, if it wasn't for him, do you think Galatasaray would be leading the Turkish league at this point? Icardi is going to be absent throughout the season.

However, Okan must address the team problem since depending on this same defense may cost them the league title this season, how could they lead by 3:1 and yet draw the game at the end? If they need to acquire more defensive players, now is the time to do so because we are still in the January window where they can buy as many players as they want. It's a shame they are unable to defend three points with just Icardi missing.

Icardi is going to be absent throughout the season.

Osimhen value is 5x-10x times higher than Galatasaray's players, even though he scored 15 goals in 19 games, but it's not enough since he has given so many chance. He actually should able to score more than one goal, if you watch the highlight, he was kinda trolling on minutes 62' since he thought the 2 goals gap already enough for them to win.

This is just Dynamo Kyiv, a team that was always lose in Europa League, which is shameful to see Galatasaray can't win.

[Slow death]

To be honest I'm not surprised by Galatasaray's result, in their last Turkish league game they drew against Hatayspor and looking at Hatayspor's situation in the table, we have something funny:



and looking at Dinamo's situation in the Europa League:



It shows that Galatasaray's performance is falling, they are losing in games against weak teams, when you have these types of situations the coach needs to observe in which positions the team is having difficulties to correct the players who play in those positions.

Icardi must return urgently.

I don't know to what extent this news is true:

Mauro Icardi's Future at Galatasaray in Jeopardy After Weekend Revelry

source: https://www.footboom1.com/en/news/football/2316857-mauro-icardi-s-future-at-galatasaray-in-jeopardy-after-weekend-revelry

I hope it's not true and that he takes his recovery seriously.

[blomen]

as galatasaray fans, we’re tired of approaching matches like this with fear. there’s always the possibility of a player getting injured, and without a proper backup or alternative, it’s inevitable to face problems when that happens. gabriel sara isn’t someone who frequently gets injured, but he’s human after all. still, we can’t pin the entire match on such injuries.

muslera has faced a lot of criticism, and to some extent, it’s deserved. he doesn’t necessarily need to retire, but it’s clear he’s no longer at the level to start in the first 11. we need young, dynamic goalkeepers; muslera’s reflexes have declined significantly. every match, i find myself envying the opposing team’s goalkeeper. muslera’s contribution to galatasaray shouldn’t be forgotten, but right now, he’s reached a point where it’s almost laughable. i’d love to see him remain part of the club as a coach.

After the draw incident that Galatasaray got against a weak team, in this match I don't want to expect too much. Bilbao might experience the same thing in the match against Besiktas. Because Bilbao's position is very safe and a draw or even a loss will not change Bilbao's fate which will still qualify for the next round. And today for me the most comfortable bet is to choose BTTS to cover the risks that occur.

Even though Bilbao has got a safe position, this match will not happen like before, Galatasaray never underestimate their opponents and will not waste the opportunities that exist while they can take them from any team, Galatasaray's performance continues to weaken, the defense often concedes but overall Galatasaray's formation is still in good condition.
We will not know whether this match will end in a draw or whether Galatasaray will win even though Bilbao will still qualify for the next round.

I can feel the pain you are suffering my friend. Because nobody would like to see their team losing points against the worst team of a tournament. Dynamo Kyiv were just the kind of a team clearly. They had 0 points, 1 goal scored while 15 conceded. How can't Galatasaray really beat them?    I was feeling quite confident about their win. But the defense is still in horrible condition as it seems. They are still conceding too easy goals.

Isn't this enough for the team to make urgent signings for this area? Okan Buruk should push the board more for strengthening the defense. Otherwise a big potential will be wasted. If they make the necessary signings I think they can do a huge work in the Europa League.

I was not actually surprised at the result because I checked their stats before betting and if you would have checked their statistics you would know that Dynamo kyiv always give them tough time and they don't only give Galatasaray tough time they do also win them sometimes so when I was betting the game I handicap away (Dynamo kyiv) 3 goals to still win home ( Galatasaray) though when I checked the game about 60-65 minutes I saw 3:1 I almost lose hope because if Galatasaray should score one more goal, my ticket will be lost but at the end of the game I saw a 3:3 draw which I think was a great equalizer by Dynamo kyiv despite not being in a good form.

Galatasaray actually had a very good momentum to win, they were leading 3-1 early in the second half. But somehow, they seemed to lose their form. Did they underestimate their opponents? Or were they quickly satisfied with the advantage they had? This draw made them lose the momentum to be able to ensure themselves in the last 16 faster. because with their current position, they have to fight again in the last match of this league round. Because if they lose, then most likely they will be thrown into the play-off round, and that is actually detrimental to them.

They really did not perform their duty effectively.

But I think this is as well just a question of time until a team that scored so few goals has a good day and scores three goals. If you watched the game Feyenoord against Manchester City when it was 3-0 for Manchester City, those are the games that write history exactly because Feyenoord scored three goals in less than 15 minutes and ties the game.

But frankly, Dynamo Kiyv is not a disastrous team. They have some quality going for them and while they had essentially zero efficiency in all those games before, it was finally the time for them to use their chances and hit the ball the right way. We are still talking about professional teams here and on top of that, Galatasaray could have felt too secure against an opponent that scored only once before and out of that made their own calculations that Kiyv will at best score once. But that calculation went wrong because football is not a game of calculations.

Yep, I think Galatasaray was underestimating the opponent and since they're currently at rank 1 in Super Lig, it makes them think they don't need to make a big change. Take a look with Fenerbahce, they've sign two defenders which are Milan Skriniar and Diego Carlos, they're trying to improve their team.

They should looking for players in Serie A, it's cheaper compared to other Europe leagues.
