I made a bet that I think is quite risky with odds @3.76 including Galatasaray, Szalburg and Sparta Praha's victory even though it is clear that these clubs have won in the first leg with a score of 2:0 so in the second leg even though they get a draw they can still qualify but I expect them to win again because I see their opponents' defense is quite weak.

Basically no team wants to rely on the results that exist later with the previous advantage and here you have the right view to describe the bet. However, both Salzburg and Sparta Prague will try to win, especially since they both play as hosts. It would be disappointing if they made a mistake at home that ended in something undesirable.

For Galatasaray, that is true and if they weaken in the second leg it will be even more embarrassing. No matter where they play, even in away games they have to win if they want to appear in the Champions League this season. They should be aware that being a representative of Turkey in the highest European competition is a pride for every club. Therefore, as long as the aggregate difference is only thin, opportunities and luck will still cover them and it depends on how they can do it well.

In the end I lost the bet because Galatasaray lost again in the second leg, it was a shame they had to end up here even though they had a chance to qualify but once again they wasted it, it is indeed not easy to qualify for the League phase because Young Boys is also not a club that can be underestimated, I had doubts because I thought the first win was just luck but seeing this second leg I realized Young Boys did well and were more focused so as not to concede.

Likewise Salzburg who only got a 1-1 draw against Dynamo Kyiv but Szalburg was the one who qualified for the League phase and after that Sparta Praha who won again against Malmo and created a Cleansheet in 2 matches.
