We've heard plenty about the Turkish Super Lig in recent weeks thanks to Jose Mourinho's entertaining exploits (shock) but Tottenham will know how tough of a test it'll be heading to Galatasaray.
The Istanbul-based club top their domestic league after ten games with nine wins and a draw on their record. In this competition, they've gained seven points from a possible nine.
They boast plenty of strengths yet the one area in which they've thrived is set-pieces. They've seen 38% of their goals scored from corners and free-kicks this season. Gala are the best in Europe in this situation.
Defending these have been a problem for Spurs in the past and ABDÜLLKERIM BARDAKCI will be a particularly tough player for them to stop.
The centre-back has two goals in ten Super Lig appearances this season, making the 12/1 available on a GOAL ANYTIME worth backing here.
Bardakci has returned shots in half of those contests while it's been the case in two of his three Europa League outings.
He wins the most aerial duels of any Gala player by far, further highlighting the threat he will possess in attacking situations.
Tottenham have conceded chances at set-piece situations this season with their 0.39 expected goals against (xGA) tally from corners and free-kicks the sixth-highest in England's top-flight.
In case the goal doesn't come, I'll take the 5/4 on BARDAKCI 1+ TOTAL SHOTS too.
This is just for a shot, it doesn't even have to be on target. If you do fancy that though, the same bookmaker goes 5/1 in that market.

For those who dare belittle the mighty UEFA Europa Conference League, strap yourselves in: what a Thursday night we have in store.
Previously Russian oligarch-funded and now US private equity billionaire-powered Chelsea's second XI will go off at 1/40 when they host FC Noah, who aren't even the best team in Armenia - a tiny, landlocked nation bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north and Azerbaijan to the east (according to Wikipedia).
By the time the referee blows the full-time whistle at Stamford Bridge, the visitors will be wishing they'd taken inspiration from the Biblical figure after whom their club is named and fled before the floodgates inevitably opened.
Chelsea have beaten Gent 4-2 at home and Panathinaikos 4-1 away so far and against a significantly inferior opponent it’s hard (impossible quite frankly) to imagine them not running riot and breaching the OVER 4.5 GOALS line again, a selection available to be backed at 7/4 with Paddy Power.
In a match where we’re expecting lots of Chelsea goals, there are two ANYTIME GOALSCORER prices I like, starting with JOAO FELIX at 21/20.
The Portugal forward played as the central striker in Chelsea’s last Conference League game, with Christopher Nkunku reverting to a deeper role. Felix scored twice and had four attempts on goal in total, while Nkunku’s only shot came via a penalty.
MARC CUCURELLA is the other player I’m willing to back to small stakes at 14/1 after a pair of particularly attacking displays over the past week.
Against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup he twice went close to scoring, while at Manchester United in a largely forgettable Premier League game he showed encouraging glimpses after being brought on at half-time, including an attempt on goal.
The Spain full-back is the biggest-priced Chelsea goalscorer, with Tosin Adarabioyo the only other player available to back at double-figure quotes.
Lazio vs Porto
- Kick-off time: 20:00 GMT, Thursday
- TV: TNT Sports 5
- Home 11/8 | Draw 9/4 | Away 13/8

One of the best attacks in Italy face one of Portugal's top defences as Lazio host Porto in the Europa League.
The home side sit top of the table after three games with three victories, nine goals scored and just one conceded far better than the other two who join them on the same points tally.
A price of 10/11 is available on OVER 2.5 GOALS which looks worth backing in this match-up.
While Porto's defence has been good in domestic games, they have been vulnerable in Europe - two of their three games in this competition so far have seen at least five goals scored.
Lazio may sit fifth in the Serie A table yet their attack ranks second for expected goals (xG) generated. They've averaged 1.87 per game across their 11 - with their actual goals scored rate at 2.18.
It's comes as no surprise that the majority of the chances have come in home games - 63% of the xG tally at the Stadio Olimpico.
From Thursday's entire slate of fixtures, this is one that stands out as having huge potential for goals.
West Brom vs Burnley
- Kick-off time: 17:45 GMT, Thursday
- TV: Sky Sports Football
- Home 13/10 | Draw 21/10 | Away 11/5
Jimmy 'The Punt' Cantrill
West Brom’s early season form has plateaued.
After only dropping two points from the first 18 on offer, Carlos Corberan’s side have only taken five from the last 18 available. So, what is to blame?
Well, defensively, they remain as solid as ever. The Baggies have only shipped three goals in six games since the beginning of October, drawing five of those games, three of which ended goalless.
This rough patch directly coincides with Josh Maja’s dip in form. The frontman netted seven times in the first seven games of the season but has only found the net once in his last six appearances.
Next up is Burnley and Scott Parker’s side are becoming notoriously bland themselves.
No Sky Bet Championship side has conceded fewer than the Clarets (6) and they have been good value for that tally. Offensively though, they have only generated an xG of 12.1 which is the second lowest in the division.
Between them, 54% of these sides combined games (26) have seen one goal or fewer scored and 27% of their games have ended goalless.
So, the 7/1 about NO FIRST GOALSCORER is worth taking even if it does appear a little shorter then usual.
Odds correct at 1825 GMT (05/11/24)
