Bet Of The Day August 23 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Galatasaray are unbeaten in their six competitive games this season
Galatasaray have won four of their last five games
Galatasaray have kept a clean sheet in their last five games
Molde have lost their last two Champions League qualifying first leg games
Molde have failed to win three of their last four games
Mauro Icardi has scored 17 goals in 14 games for Galatasaray

We’re off to the Champions League for today’s best bet as Molde and Galatasaray square off for a spot in the prestigious group stages.

This is the first leg of the tie and we believe Galatasaray are great value on the road.

Galatasaray are looking to reach the group stages of the Champions League for the first time since 2019 and this team will be confident of securing their spot.

The Turkish giants are in great form heading into this clash, going unbeaten in all six of their competitive games this season and winning four of their last five.

Furthermore, Galatasaray have been rock solid defensively, keeping a clean sheet in their last five consecutive matches.

Molde meanwhile have struggled lately, winning just one of their last four games. The Norwegian side haven’t made the Champions League group stages in over two decades and will have their work cut out for them here.

Recent history doesn’t bode well for them here either – Molde have lost the first leg of their previous two Champions League qualifying ties this term, going down 1-0 to HJK and 2-1 to Klaksvik.

Galatasaray is a massive step up in class from those two clubs, so it could be another long night for Molde.

Star striker Mauro Icardi has also been in electric form since joining Galatasaray, scoring a whopping 17 goals in 14 games – he could be poised to do some damage tonight.
