They'll both play for a place in the next round on Wednesday, February 18, at 04:45 AEDT.</em></p> <p>It's been more than a decade since these two teams shared a pitch in the UEFA Champions League, and with both teams arguably stronger than ever in terms of key players, there's a lot to like about this upcoming contest.</p> <p>Read on for our Galatasaray vs Juventus betting predictions to find out what we think is likely to happen and why we've made the picks that we have…</p> <h2>Quick Picks</h2> <p><strong>Our pick: </strong>Draw</p> <p><strong>Value bet: </strong>Osimhen to score any time</p> <p><strong>Long shot: </strong>Correct Score 2-2</p> <h2>Betting Preview</h2> <p>Before we get into our predictions, it's worth taking a look at the head-to-head record, even if the last encounter took place in the 2013/14 campaign.</p> <p>Both were participating in the Group Stage, playing in Group B. Juventus had hosted the first meeting, which ended 2-2. Galatasaray would emerge victorious in the second game, winning 1-0 at home.</p> <p>Overall, ties have been competitive and have finished equally. There have been three draws, with Gala winning twice and Juve winning once. Over these six games, the Turkish side have scored nine times, while the Italians have netted seven. Can we expect goals in this one?</p> <h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2> <p>We wrote a dedicated betting preview of the 2025/26 UCL Play-Offs and revealed that we were going for a <strong>draw in terms of value</strong>. Indeed, we think this because of the strong record that Galatasaray hold at home, while Juventus have struggled on the road in this year's competition.</p> <p>Galatasaray boast two wins, a draw, and a loss across the four home games played in the Group Phase, scoring five times. They conceded three times. One of the wins was against Liverpool, while they drew with Atletico Madrid.</p> <p>Juventus didn't travel all that well this year. Although they only lost once (1-0 Real Madrid), they had two draws and a win. In Juventus's last four <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-uefa-champions-league">Champions League betting</a> matches as an away favourite, the last three have ended in draws.</p> <p>Are there goals to be had? It's likely.<strong> 'Over 2.5 Goals'</strong> offers value, as Gala scored in all but one of their home matches, while Juve netted five across their four away matches, including three against Bodo/Glimt in a 3-2 victory.</p> <h2>Our Prediction</h2> <p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/uefa-competitions/uefa-champions-league/galatasaray-v-juventus-10103138">Galatasaray vs Juventus betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p> <p>As highlighted, we believe there is <strong>value in the draw</strong> outcome, as we think it's likely this will occur. For additional value and as a long shot, we think the <strong>correct score is likely to be 2-2,</strong> given that we believe there will be over 2.5 goals scored.</p> <p><strong>Victor Osimhen offers value as an anytime goalscorer</strong> if available. The Nigerian forward has scored six times in the UCL this season, and has nine domestically. He has been in good form since returning from AFCON, where he had another four.
