Galatasaray vs. Juventus Picks, Parlay
Leg 1: Juventus to Win
Leg 2: Both Teams to Score
After a shocking 5-2 collapse in the first leg, Juventus have their backs against the wall. The need to overcome a three-goal deficit means they have no choice but to attack from the opening whistle. This aggressive posture, while necessary, will likely create defensive vulnerabilities. Galatasaray, aware of their commanding lead, can afford to play a more conservative game, absorb pressure, and look to strike on the counterattack.
Juventus are in a severe slump, with just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions. Their recent form includes one draw and four losses in their last five outings, a stretch in which they have conceded an average of three goals per game. This defensive fragility is a major concern and a key reason to believe Galatasaray can score.
However, Galatasaray’s own form on the road in Europe is a significant weakness. They have managed just one victory in their last 13 away matches in either the Champions League or Europa League, losing nine of those contests. This poor travel record, combined with a recent domestic away loss, suggests they are not invincible outside of their home stadium. Given Juventus's home advantage and desperate situation, a win for the Italian side on the night is a probable outcome, even if qualification seems unlikely. The combination of Juventus’s need to attack, their porous defense, and Galatasaray's away struggles makes this pick a compelling value.

Galatasaray vs. Juventus Betting Analysis
This matchup presents a classic clash of styles dictated by the first-leg result. Juventus must commit players forward, a strategy that should lead to a high volume of shots. They have averaged 15 shots per game in the Champions League this season and will almost certainly exceed that number here. Under manager Luciano Spalletti, Juventus have been a potent offensive force at home, scoring 12 goals across their last five competitive home games. They should create plenty of chances against a Galatasaray defense that has kept just one clean sheet in its last 10 European matches.
The head-to-head history between these clubs is surprisingly one-sided in Galatasaray's favor. The Turkish club is undefeated in its last four meetings with Juventus, with three wins and one draw. The first leg was a wild affair in which Galatasaray overcame a 2-1 halftime deficit to score four unanswered goals in the second half. History also shows these matchups produce goals, with the last five encounters averaging 3.4 goals per match. Furthermore, five of the last seven head-to-head duels have seen both teams find the back of the net.
While Galatasaray holds a commanding aggregate lead and a strong head-to-head record, their struggles away from home in Europe are well-documented. They have never won a match on Italian soil in 13 attempts. This history, coupled with Juventus’s need for an aggressive, goal-oriented performance, points toward an open and exciting second leg in which both sides can impact the scoreline.
