Manchester United vs Galatasaray 03.10.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League

Match Overview

Manchester United host Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League at Old Trafford on 3 October, Tuesday. The Turkish side will be hoping to put up a strong defensive display on the day because the Red Devils are known to be extremely attacking when it comes to playing at home. They seem quite comfortable and confident at the moment.

Key Highlights 

Erik Ten Hag, having brought Manchester United into the Champions League, will want to put up a good performance here as well. His long-standing feud with Jadon Sancho is yet to come to an end, but one can only hope that the distraction does not hurt United. Galatasaray's midfield engine can often be trusted to hurt the Red Devils.

Injury Report

While only Kazimcan Karatas has been ruled out for Galatsaray, Tyler Malacia, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have been ruled out for Manchester United owing to injuries.

Prediction

Manchester United appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. We expect them to do so quite comfortably. There have been a total of three games played between these two teams in the past, out of which the home team have won two. Galatasaray have only been victorious on one occasion against Manchester United in the past, in 2012.
