Galatasaray is doing quite bad in domestic league and have very little chances for winning title this year . Actually after they current play they could easily end up in the middle of the table .
In first game Galatasaray was better team overall , they missed scoring opportunities and this might cost them overall . That 0-0 result is good enough for 2nd leg because they won't be forced to attack and they can wait for counte-attack .
Leverkusen didn't impressed me in Turkey . They played more defensive and sometimes they were clumpsy . The pitch was bad and more it was snowing most of the game . Weather conditions weren't that good .
For 2nd leg , Leverkusen has home advantage . Do they ? As I know there are many turkish supporters in Germany and I am sure Galatasaray will feel almost like home in Germany .
I don't think things changed very much for this game and Galatasaray showed they are capable of winning .

My pick:
Leverkusen-Galatasaray AH 0:1 away win @1.56 Betfair

PS. Odd is 1.65 at Bodog
