We said: Molde 0-3 Galatasaray

Molde may possess the formula for success at home domestically, but their defensive nous is unlikely to count for much against a Galatasaray side who know a thing or two about shutting out the opposition themselves. Even with Torreira on the naughty step and concerns lingering over Zaha's availability, Buruk's squad of esteemed international stars should stroll to a first-leg win with minimal fuss. Read more.
