After last week's five-goal thriller in Switzerland, Galatasaray and Young Boys reconvene in Istanbul on Tuesday evening, as they fight for a place in the new Champions League group stage.
Both national champions, the two sides played out an entertaining first leg, in which a late penalty earned the Swiss side a precious lead to take to Turkey.
We say: Galatasaray 2-1 Young Boys (4-4 on aggregate; Galatasaray win on penalties)
The two teams were well-matched in Switzerland, and given both sides' defensive issues, there could be plenty of goalmouth action throughout this second leg.
It may even take extra time and a penalty shootout to separate them, with hosts Gala just scraping through to the group stage again.

On Tuesday, Sparta Prague will welcome Swedish side Malmo to the Czech Republic for the second leg of a Champions League qualifying tie.
Sparta are on the brink of reaching the Champions League main draw after recording a 2-0 victory in last week's trip to Malmo.
We say: Sparta Prague 2-1 Malmo
Sparta took a giant leap to the main draw with their successful trip to Sweden, and we think they will make full use of home advantage to record a second-leg victory to seal their spot in the league phase and leave Malmo to settle for a Europa League spot.

Two goals in front following last week's away leg, Red Bull Salzburg aim to finish the job in their Champions League playoff tie on Tuesday, when they host Dynamo Kiev.
Group-stage regulars in recent years, Salzburg are within a whisker of returning to Europe's top table - but Dynamo will be determined to fight back.
We say: Red Bull Salzburg 2-1 Dynamo Kiev (Red Bull Salzburg win 4-1 on aggregate)
Taking a two-goal lead into the second leg has seen Salzburg progress in 14 of their past 15 European knockout ties, and they should comfortably continue in that vein on Tuesday.
The more dangerous side last week, Die Roten Bullen are set to trample over Dynamo on home turf, booking their place in the Champions League's new-look group phase.
