Olimpija Ljubljana Team News
In the previous Champions League qualification match, Olimpija Ljubljana defeated Ludogorets at home with a score of 2:1 (first leg 1:1). Although the guests took the lead in the 15th minute, the home team equalized just three minutes later, and they secured the final result in injury time. Timi Max Elšnik was the scorer of both goals, and Jorge Silva and Svit Seslar provided one assist each.
After two matches played in the Slovenian Prva Liga, they achieved one victory and one loss, while in the first round of Champions League qualification, they defeated Valmiera with an aggregate score of 4:2. During six friendly matches before the start of the season, they recorded five wins and one loss.
Saar Fadida scored a hat-trick against Rogaška in the last league match of the hosts and will be hoping for a recall to the starting 11 after being left on the bench against Ludogorets.
Elsnik’s goals in both legs of the last round almost guarantee that he will keep his place in the midfield alongside Agustin Doffo and Ivan Posavec.
Galatasaray Team News
Galatasaray’s footballers won the previous match against Zalgiris at home with a score of 1:0. The only goal of the match was scored by Dries Mertens in the 31st minute, and the score remained unchanged afterward.

Olimpija Ljubljana vs Galatasaray Prediction
Olimpija Ljubljana has the advantage of playing at home, but Galatasaray is considered the favorite in this duel due to having a stronger team on paper. Therefore, we believe that the visiting team is closer to victory, but we cannot confidently predict a “clean away win.” As such, our suggestion is a draw or a Galatasaray triumph, with the added note that there will be a maximum of three goals scored by both sides in the match.
