Galatasaray vs Hajduk Split Soccer Betting Picks
Galatasaray had a very bad 2019-2020 season. Playing the title before confinement, the Istanbulites finally finished sixth in the standings and will have to go through these dams to compete in the Europa League. There is still hope for Belhanda and Falcao’s teammates given their good start to the season. Opposed to Gazisehir Gaziantep for the resumption of the Turkish championship, Galatasaray won easily at home (3-1) before hitting the defending champion, Istanbul BB (0-2), who restarted badly. In the meantime, the Istanbulites went to win in Azerbaijan in the previous round of these qualifications for C3, against FK Neftchi (1-3).
Like Galatasaray, Hadjuk Split had a disappointing last season, finishing 5th in the Croatian league. The players of the legendary club launched their new season on the same bases in the league with two good victories against Istra 1961 and Osijek, then 2 disappointing results: a draw against Slaven Belupo and a home defeat against the reigning champion, Dinamo Zagreb (1-2), that Hadjuk can no longer compete. The Croatian club won in Macedonia against Renova (1-0) in the previous round of these qualifiers.
Staff for Galatasaray vs Hajduk Split
Galatasaray has moved a lot on the transfer market this summer: Jean-Michael Seri (Fulham), Mario Lemina (Southampton), Mariano (Atlético MG), Nagatomo (Marseille), Henry Onyekuru (Monaco) or Florin Andone (Brighton), and Selcuk Inan (retired) left, while Arda Turan, Nigerian international midfielder Etebo and Norwegian international Omar Elabdellaoui arrived. The injured Muslera (titular goalkeeper) and Akaba should still miss this meeting.
On the side of Hadjuk Split, we can point out the arrivals this summer of defender Todorovic (on loan from Salzburg), and forwards Diamantakos (1 goal already in the league this season) and Gyurcso (2 goals, who came back from a loan in Hungary). On the other hand, the club lost its Albanian international defender Ardian Ismajli and its striker Samuel Emem Eduok (11 goals last season in the league).
