Galatasaray hosts Marseille in round 5 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 25th at Nef Stadium (Istanbul)
After four rounds, Galatasaray is leading in Group E. The team showed the following results in four matches: two victories and two draws with a goal difference of 3-1. It is noteworthy that all four games ended with Under 2.5 goals scored. If Galatasaray scores three points in the upcoming match, it will lock up a spot in the Europa League playoffs. As I have already noted, the Lions perform well in the Europa League but fail in the championship. They have 21 points after 17 rounds of the Turkish Super League. This is enough to be only in the 8th position. In the last round of the domestic championship, Galatasaray lost to Fenerbahce at home (1-2). The Turks do not always show their best against the representatives of the French Ligue 1 — four victories in 14 matches, with four draws and six defeats.

It is difficult to say in what condition the players of Marseille are at the moment. The fact is that their last match against Lyon was stopped due to the fact that Dimitri Payet was hit in his head with an object thrown from the stands. In the current UEL draw, the Olympians cannot boast of high results. Yes, they have never lost in four matches, but they have never managed to win either. The goal difference is 3-3. This is enough to be in 3rd position, which will give a team the right to play in the Conference League playoffs. In the Europa League, Olympique has not gained a single victory in 12 consecutive matches (five draws and seven defeats). If we are talking about away statistics, the winless streak has amounted to seven matches.
Galatasaray and Marseille spent last weekend ambiguously. The Lions lost to their bitter rival, and the Olympians did not manage to play all 90 minutes at all. But if you think logically, then the visitors should be fresh. Let's see if it helps them. I remind you that Sampaoli's players have not won or lost in the current Europa League yet. Will this streak be interrupted now? This pair has no favorite and no outsider. Based on this, I propose not to bet on one of the sides to win, but to bet on a draw.
Prediction for the match: Draw
