Open battles for Galatasaray and Young Boys in the Champions League. Uncertain matchup between Istanbul Basaksehir and St Patrick’s in the Conference League

Tonight at 21:00, European football returns with several high-profile matches in the Champions League. Galatasaray vs. Young Boys is certainly one of the key games, with the Swiss side currently leading 3-2. However, the Turkish team, with its extensive European experience, will give it their all over 90 minutes to secure advancement.

Salisburgo and Sparta Prague seem to have a smoother path ahead, each holding a 2-0 advantage against Malmo and Dinamo Kyiv, respectively. In European competitions, especially in knockout rounds, anything can happen, but a two-goal lead could be crucial in managing the next 90 minutes effectively.

Tomorrow at 18:45, Qarabag faces Dinamo Zagreb. Dinamo, leading 3-0 on aggregate, is likely to sail smoothly into the next round. Later in the evening, at 21:00, Red Star Belgrade will take on Bodo/Glimt, while Slovan Bratislava meets Midtjylland (first-leg results: 1-2 and 1-1, respectively).

In the Conference League, the matchup between Istanbul Basaksehir and St Patrick's remains open. The goalless draw in the first leg, which was expected to favor the Turkish team, leaves the contest wide open for an intense return leg. Gent holds a slight advantage with a 1-0 lead from last week against Partizan.

On Thursday, several other important matches will take place, including Panathinaikos vs. Lens, with the French side leading 2-1, and Fiorentina, who drew 3-3 against Puskas Academy last week. Chelsea, who will face Servette again, is in a strong position with a 2-0 lead and is emerging as one of the favorites to win the cup.
