Try to imagine being Ten Hag, at that time if I'm not mistaken he only got a limited budget. How can we say they are careless, yet they really understand what their team needs. Ideally, Ten Hag should budget its limited funds by selecting players who suit their needs. There aren't many choices, he only recruits players who he thinks are really needed. although in reality, there are many players that Ten Hag really needs. at least, 4-5 established players are what they need. but in fact, he could only afford two players. the rest, with various agendas that they carry out, bringing in Hojlund.

Well, if we discuss this, the discussion will be very long. The point is, since United's declaration that they will be sold, United has been in limbo. when Qatar and Sir Rangnick wanted to sign each other, the impact on the United team itself. It seems clear that the Glazer brothers are reluctant to fix Ten Hag's problems. with the scenario, they don't want to spend the money because the club will be acquired by another party. what happened to United, clearly we have to refer to all aspects and points of view. I don't need to explain it, the point is that United is currently experiencing problems.
and the essence of what I said in this thread, Galatasaray vs United.

For Galatasaray, strong is a broad definition. But the point is, I don't underestimate Okan Buruk's squad. However, if Galatasaray is really strong, they will be easy to overthrow when they host Copenhagen. in fact, the match ended with a score of 2-2. In this match, both teams have a chance referring to my analysis and research. plus, the odds available by the bookmaker. Regarding the results, we are waiting for this match to start soon. What I know is that football is unique, every result will be determined when the match starts.

I am thinking the same as you. I have never seen Manchester United play well in a Champions League match. They also conceded 4 goals against teams like Copenhagen. This team is performing very badly. They have won their last three matches in the Premier League. However, their performance was not very strong. It is much more difficult for Galatasaray to win their home matches with average performances. Also Galatasaray will be more confident now after the win in the away match. They want to qualify for the knockout rounds. Galatasaray have a great chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds if they beat Manchester United. I consider Galatasaray as the favorite in today's match.

This is the group with the most competitive nature so far. And it is obviously still unsure which team is actually going to qualify. I also agree that Dortmund versus PSG is going to decide which teams actually qualify from this group. Everything is going to depend on the performance of PSG. I actually do not think any other team without PSG is actually going to qualify alongside Dortmund. I know, I talk a lot of trash about PSG. Probably because they really deserve it. But I don't think PSG is going to let this one happen at any cost. If somehow PSG does not qualify, it is going to be really sad.

Yesterday’s Champions League matches were amazing, from Manchester City’s comeback to other amazing score lines, I think today’s matches will have similar results.

Manchester United on the other hand have a great match ahead of them, they need to win the match to qualify for either round of 16 or Europa League but if they lose the match they will definitely go home by finishing bottom of their group.

But with Manchester United’s last match performance, if Ten Hag put more effort to bring a best team for Manchester United to face Galatasaray, I am hoping that they will win the match.

Those odds have danger written all over them. Is best to avoid them or better still take the risk and play the home team to win because United have not shown any great impact in this champions league since the beginning of the campaign. The away team got a wonderful win in the EPL doesn't mean they can do the same here in the UCL. Let's see what the visitors (Manchester United) have to offer this time around.

I understand what you are saying but don't blame Leipzig that much because they played against Manchester City who has the power to turn things around in the world of football and don't forget it is Etihad Stadium. Leipzig has nothing to lose in their match against Manchester City because they have already qualified for the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League competition.

This match between Benfica and Inter Milan promises to be an exciting encounter between two top teams. Benfica have lost each of their last matches at home in the UEFA Champions League and failed to score. Benfica will rely on their strong home form and will be determined to break their goalless streak in the Champions League. On the other hand, Inter Milan will be aiming to remain unbeaten against the Portuguese opposition and maintain their excellent form. Both teams have quality players who can make an impact, with Lautaro Martinez a key player for Inter Milan. I think Inter Milan can beat Benfica 2-1.

Manchester United the team most highlighted in Group A because it appeared not in good performance. Not only you, there are many who highlighted the bad performance of Manchester United ahead of the 5th UEFA Champion League in Istanbul, Turkiye.
We admit that Manchester United became a team that appeared far from expectations because it was only able to win 1 victory in 4 matches. But tonight in Istanbul, Manchester United can get good results that can provide opportunities to escape.

Against Galatasaray, we lost several players like Hojlund. At least Manchester United still have other players who are ready to appear like Garnacho and Martial on the front lines.
The absence of a number of players became an obstacle when Manchester United were trying hard to give the best results in this big tournament.

I don't think this day will top the previous one. I say this as we had a lot of goals yesterday , we had comebacks , lots of penalties and overall great football.

For today , I have a feeling United won't manage to win and they will miss the Europa League chance as well because Galatasaray is a very strong team that knows how to speculate a team like United.

I'm surprised that PSG is wasting the opportunity to secure qualification with a draw against Newcastle, but the They still have their destiny in their own hands. PSG's fate hangs in the balance as they head into their final Group F match against Borussia Dortmund. They have to win the game at Signal Iduna Park to send themself through to the knockout stage, while anything less could spell their Champions League exit. I think they will go through the next round, as they have shown resilience in the face of adversity, and now they must summon that same determination to overcome a formidable opponent.

Even a draw between Newcastle and Milan would provide advantage for them, PSG cannot afford to rely on external factors. They must take matters into their own hands and secure the win they need. The stakes are high, but PSG has the quality and experience to prevail. With Mbappe leading the charge, they are capable of producing a moment of magic that could decide the tie. I'm sure this time PSG will rise to the occasion and demonstrate their true potential. The Champions League knockout stage awaits, but first, they must conquer Dortmund.

Real are the favourite for today's game, but they have already solved the issue with the play-offs, besides, they are unlikely to lose the first ranking. Real do not need to spend a lot of energy and play only to win. Napoli have not solved the issue with the playoffs, so they will try to get points in Madrid, of course it will be incredibly difficult to do so. In my opinion, Real have secured their continuation in the Champions League, so they will not waste much energy. I assume that Napoli will not lose.

ML odds are pretty much the same for MU and Galastaray
Galastaray - 2.70
Man United - 2.50

I can't really pick one but this match could be a goalfest. Over @1.59 for over 2.5 looks good.

Hojlund is fit to play according to some articles. Man United is pretty much at a disadvantage here since many are unavailable as you mentioned already. Galastaray will probably have a problem with their defense too because of the injury to Davinson Sanchez.

I will really concentrate on this group C game today because, Napoli will prove to people that Real Madrid beat them in their last meeting by luck by looking for way to win today game to top the group table, and Real Madrid will have it in mind that they have beaten Napoli in their first leg and they will still beat them again to maintain a top position in this group C to be among the qualifiers. I don't think there will be draw game here today because, the two teams are set to showcase what will make people to celebrate them as if they are winning the trophy today because the two teams are giant teams in this champions league competition.

Since Real Madrid and Napoli are the strongest teams in this group C and, one of the team must qualify to stand on a good position to battle other teams to stand among the team that will battle for final to break some record that will bring more honor to the team.

There is very little time left before the game, we are expecting a very exciting match.
The only bad thing for Galatasaray is that Davison Sanchez is injured. I hope Victor Nelsson will play very well today.
I expect goals from Icardi and Zaha tonight.

yes, this group is the most difficult to predict. I lost 2 bets in that group. and that is the Milan vs Dortmund match. the first is a draw and the second is a win for Dortmund. I didn't expect Dortmund to be so extraordinary at home to Milan.

in the other group, I want to see how MU will fight to qualify for the next round. seeing now they are at the bottom of the group. MU has remaining matches against Galatasaray and Munich. where MU lost to both teams in the first round. This is quite a tough task for Tan Hag and his team.

Issues come from them and their bad transfer strategy in the summer. They carelessly ignored need to buy another good central defender and the season brought a crisis in defense system to Old Trafford. It is unlucky but if they prepare for it better, they will have less problems with it and won't have a crisis with their defenders.

Galatasaray shown that they are strong by beating Manchester United weeks ago and they shown their ambition in other matches too. They have good chance to end this group at a good position to join the next round. With some experienced players, Galatasaray squad has good mentality and ability to secure their good advantage. It will be a very big challenge for Manchester United to beat Galatasaray and open a very narrow gate in this group.

I think Manchester United can beat Galatasaray and earn the three points if they can perform better than they did against Everton in the Premier League. I know it won't be easy for Manchester United to win because they have only won once in their last games. Galatasaray defeated United at home, so I'm not sure how Manchester united can win this time playing away. Although Man United performances is very poor right now, I think they can perform better to win this game, which is important to do. If  Manchester United can win Galatasaray, there may be hope for them to play Bayern Munich to qualify from the group stage, if Manchester united mistakenly lose there's no hope to qualify again.

I still believe in Manchester United despite Casemiro due to injury and Rashford for the red card received in last match, but with available of Shaw and Wan-Bissaka, two strong defenders. I just hope Hojlund is back to play today, so Manchester united can have more goals, as Galatasaray will be well-prepared for Manchester United in today's match.

I almost placed a bet for PSG against Newcastel and Barcelona against Porto. The odds were so good and tempting especially 5.0 odd for Newcastel winning against PSG. I was almost sure about a surprise from Newcastel which played so well lately when I watched their match against Chelsea.
Honestly, if it wasn't my trip I would get a good profit from Barcelona winning against Porto, with 1.50 odds.

For tonight's matches, I'm very excited for Real Madrid against Napoli match, The odds are also tempting. Real Madrid is playing with many absent players, I think it's going to be hard for them. It's important for them to win and keep the first place in their group.
Do you think betting on the Whitehouse winning with 1.80 odds is a good choice?

There is very little chance of winning a bet in group F, all the teams in that group beat each other and share points which makes predictions wrong. Frankly, I don't like betting when the teams in Group F play, I prefer to save money to bet on other matches.
Dortmund managed to achieve an important victory at Milan Headquarters, it is difficult to imagine the result at San Siro because Dortmund has a less than good record when playing at Italian teams' headquarters. Until Matchday 5, only Dortmund had just confirmed qualifying for the knockout round, the other three teams still had the same chance of qualifying. If it was in the last game, I would also skip the bet because a surprise would still happen.

It's not because United are not established and mature in their game, unfortunately the squad coached by Erik Ten Hag is being hit by various problems. I think there are many factors that make United's performance unstable, they even tend to play badly. and we are very aware of this.
On the other hand, Galatasaray cannot be underestimated, especially since this match was held at Rams Park, their headquarters. Apart from winning in the first leg, Galatasaray will strengthen its position in the group phase rankings in order to qualify for the next phase. but with conditions, like it or not, you have to beat Manchester United in the match which will be held in the next few hours. Unfortunately, this fight won't be easy, IMO.
If in the first meeting Okan Buruk was able to assess and look for gaps in the Man United squad, this match was an exception.

Referring to the United line-up that Ten Hag will implement, there are two possibilities. Galatasaray can handle their opponents easily, or they will have trouble with these players. Let's see, this fight begins. According to my predictions, the strength of the two teams is equal in terms of the players that will be played in this match. So, there are many possibilities that could happen. especially, if we refer to betting options. Galatasaray with odds @2.60, while United with odds @2.49. In fact, United is only favored because of its big name. After all, The Red Devil's main squad was not played. Well, for me this is what's unique.

My estimate is that United will finish this match with a win even though they have to work hard in this fight. Well, let's just wait for the results of this match.
