Besiktas is the best team in Turkey right now and have the second place team in Spain, Valencia, in a 2 all tie in the second half.
Galatasaray salvaged a 2-2 draw earlier in the day in their match versus Villareal.
Gaziantepspor beat Italian superpowers Roma earlier in the day 1-0.
Genclerberligi beat Italian side AC Parma in Parma 1-0 on FSW and Parma look to be a shoe-in for a Champion's League spot from Italy.
I'm going to go with Galatasaray, for the Turkish side to have the best chance to win, because they look to have the most depth besides Besiktas, very important towards the end of the year, and I don't know if Besiktas can pull it out against Valencia. Haven't seen Gaziantepspor but that scoreline against Roma looks pretty impressive, and Genclerberligi looked real good on FSW, but I don't think either of them have the depth to win a competetion such as this.
Second leg of the third round is on March 3rd and they have all put themselves in a position to advance. Look for all of them to go pretty far.
