Young Boys-Galatasaray is a match valid for the first leg of the Champions League access playoffs and is played Wednesday at 9 p.m.: lineups, prediction, TV and streaming.
Winning the Super Lig does not guarantee direct access to the single group stage of the Champions League: therefore, Galatasaray will have to play a play-off in order to be part of the “magnificent 36” who from next September 17 will have the honor of participating in the new format of the cup with big ears, a mini-league in which each will play 8 matches against different opponents.
This one with the Swiss of Young Boys thus becomes a double challenge not to be missed. The Turkish champions get there after two narrow successes in the first two days of the championship, in which they folded Hatayspor and Konyaspor, on both occasions with a 2-1 result.
Prior to that, however, the Giallorossi had been surprisingly humiliated by city rivals Besiktas in the match that awarded the national Super Cup: a bombastic 5-0 victory in which Bianconeri new signing Ciro Immobile also found a way to score two goals. The reaction after that terrifying drubbing was there, but the Gala gives the impression that it is still breaking in. Much worse off, on the other hand, is Young Boys, who resoundingly failed to win any of the first six days of the Swiss top league, collecting the pittance of three points and conceding 13 goals. A nightmarish start for Patrick Rahmen’s yellow-and-whites – former Winterthur coach who took over from Raphael Wicky – who are called upon to pick themselves up on the eve of one of the most important matches of their season.
Okan Buruk, Galatasaray’s coach, will rely on the usual Icardi in attack but will have to do without Sanchez and Ayhan, infotuned and disqualified respectively. Three absences in Young Boys: Conte, Imeri and Janko.
