Normally, I don’t think Newcastle currently have that performance to win Chelsea with such a result. If not because of the red card that was given to one of the Chelsea players, Newcastle use that as an opportunity to win, then if not, Chelsea's performance has already improved because we all see how they were doing well with some other big clubs, even though they didn’t manage to win, but at least when compared to their last season or early season performance, we will know that they are improving in their matches. However, I think one of the reasons Chelsea dropped in their performance in thin that match was because one of their players was given a red card, so the performance was somehow weak and they couldn’t manage the squad again against Newcastle.

They have a chance to qualify for the next stage of the tournament only if they win both matches, maybe a draw will be enough for them, I don't know. But in any case, looking at their performance in the Champions League, it's better for them to go to the Europa League and try to do something there, than to go to the 1/8 Champions League and get knocked out straight away.

No doubt Manchester United has better quality players than Galatasaray but the issue is how well have they performed in their Champions League matches. They have lost three complete matches and only won one.
In football, anything can happen but in the case of Manchester United winning Galatasaray on Wednesday will be very difficult for them because Galatasaray would play like their life depended on having the 3 points to come above Copenhagen. Since Bayern Munich would play against them, still on that Wednesday.
My prediction for both teams is Galatasaray has a 60% chance of winning against Manchester United while 40% winning for Manchester United.

PSG and Newcastle united are both equally strong this season and the depth of their teams is no less strong, so the match between the two will be quite difficult to predict the final result. Many say that PSG has a greater chance of winning this match and of course that is quite true because they are playing in front of their supporters. On the one hand, this is a Champions League match and each team will try their best to get satisfactory results. Newcastle United cannot be considered weak because they can surprise their opponents with their neat play.

Newcastle united is in 4th place in Group F and they will try to move up to 2nd in the standing by winning the match against PSG. The winning capital from the first leg will be an encouragement for the newcastle united players to repeat it when they face PSG in the second leg. I think Howe quite understands how to beat PSG and that will be a big challenge for him in the match against PSG this week.

What is certain is that Ten Hag will prepare his team's squad to perform all out at Rams Park, Galatasaray's headquarters. It's not easy, especially since Marcus Rashford is certain to be absent from this match. which means, there are not many choices that Ten Hag can make and will only play the available players. However, it looks like Rasmus Hojlund is included in the starting eleven that Ten Hag will play. although, its status is still in doubt. Apart from that, Luke Shaw has returned from injury and is ready to play in the match against Galatasaray. Rashford's absence could provide an opportunity for Garnacho, especially since he performed quite well in the match against Everton.
Well, so United still has hope of winning this match. Moreover, if we refer to bookmakers, these two teams almost have the same odds. which means, various possibilities can occur regarding the outcome of the match later.

In the other match, in the group A phase, Bayern was actually in a safe position to qualify for the next round. Moreover, they will play a home match against Copenhagen. referring to the odds, the bookie favors the home team. Plus, Kane looks like he will be aiming for goals to add to his collection in this competition. and there are no other words, other than we are waiting for the next 3 days for the Champions League group phase to be held.

I also agree, especially because PSG is playing at home. PSG have so far won 2 home matches in the Champions League, while in other matches they have suffered 2 defeats on the road. The odds are getting better as PSG also won against Monaco this week in Ligue 1, but Newcastle is a team that has surprised us with a big win against PSG.

In my opinion, PSG must win the matches against Newcastle and Dortmund if they want to qualify for the round of 16. This is the last chance to determine whether they qualify or not this season, but Dortmund playing at home might put a lot of pressure on PSG. I'm sure PSG will not waste the opportunities they have and they should win the next two matches.

There are some games that never go as plan in the first place.nSean Dyche was really dissapointed during the match, here he found himself trying to escape the relegation but losing to Manchester United was not the plan. Why are Manchester United fans celebrating as if they won the EPL trophy this season. It's fine, they thrashed Everton 3 nil at Goodison Park. I totally understand the present condition of Everton, they will continue to struggle due to the points deducted from them this season as form of punishment for breaking significant rules.

We know Macnshter United was not in a good situation with Ten Hag recently and they lost many points in the Champions League, I think they were disappointed about this tournament even in the last week and now Galatasaray is very lucky to be in the same group as Manchester United. In the normal situation, Manchester United could easily beat teams like Galatasaray and Copenhagen but right they are not in the good form at all.

Manchester United hunger for goals made me so damn happy, it should have been four goals if Marcus Rashford pass for Bruno Fernandez went through. Tarkowski did proper defensive job there to save that ball from going though. After the goal Garnacho was absent. This is not the time to criticize him but he should do better and be consistent.

Yeah, the defense today was superb! They had coordination and Andrea Onana extended his clean sheet record. He remains the only goal keeper with the highest goals scored.
The point deduction didn't affect them, they played just that Manchester United took good se of them chances. Antonio Martial also was so composed with his first touch on that ball. Great Goal. They will do better against Galatasaray.

Luis Enrique put his reputation on the line to get PSG through the group stage, and Eddie Howe squad are their arch-rivals in Group F. PSG must put their previous defeat behind them and focus on securing a place in the last 16, and Newcastle are also targeting them even though the chances are slim. However, if the match ends in a draw then the situation will become more complicated, because both teams will still be struggling to qualify on match day 6, this is the worst scenario for Group F.

I think a draw is very likely, so PSG chances of getting revenge will disappear. Not without reason, Newcastle could give a surprise, and luck might be on their side again. Their victory over Chelsea was more impressive than PSG victory over Monaco in my opinion.

Apart from that, I don't think Milan will be able to beat Dortmund. This is a difficult reality to accept, because Milan has lost several key players. However, it is not impossible that Dortmund will have a bad day and can make Milan lucky to get three points in front of their own fans.

This will be a very difficult game for Galatasaray, because unlike the first leg in which Manchester United was weakened, in this second leg Manchester United improved a lot and see that Manchester United only lost in the game against Galatasaray because of a red card that the Manchester United player had, even in the other Champions League game that Manchester United played, they only lost because one of their players had a red card, I think that even though Galatasaray are also doing very well in the local league, I believe that this time Manchester United can win

all that manchester united will need to do is keep the players focused so as not to commit fouls that lead to a red card like in past games, but if they commit a serious foul in which one of their players gets a red card then manchester united will lose the game and with a victory Galatasaray will have to beat Copenhagen, because I very much doubt that Bayern will put their best players in the remaining games knowing that they have already passed to another phase, with that I suppose that Copenhagen will get at least a draw in the game against bayern and with that galatasaray will be forced to win in the game against copenhagen, that is if they also win in the game against manchester united

---

the situation of the teams in group F is very uncertain, at least dortmundo may be the team with the greatest chance at the moment of securing passage to another phase if they win the next game against milan, while PSG will have to play against Newcastle again and in the first leg PSG lost in a very humiliating way that I'm wondering what they will do to change the scenario of the last defeat, Newcastle is still dangerous, so this game will be very problematic for PSG, a victory in this game is not yet would provide comfort guarantees for PSG

Indeed, that was the only good result for Lens in this group stage, especially since they did it against the top team in this group. For Arsenal, they only need one more win to lock up a place in the last 16 and they can do that against Lens or PSV later. It is clear that for Lens and PSV facing Arsenal is a nightmare that they have to overcome and they certainly cannot be careless to secure the opportunities that exist. The situation in Group B is quite complicated and perhaps the next match will determine the next opportunity for this team to qualify or not. I think too many possibilities will make things more exciting and will not be able to be predicted precisely.

Galatasaray and Manchester United both seemed quite strong in their domestic league games this week. They both got really convincing wins. I especially admired Garnacho's goal by a bicycle kick. I hope that he doesn't score a similar goal against us also.    I'm still believing in Galatasaray to win against them though.

Because I believe that Manchester United have still not recovered fully. Besides they still have so many missing players especially in the defense line.

Everton aren't having a good season so I'm not surprised to see them losing to Manchester United. But Galatasaray are going to be a very challenging opponent for them again.

What you mean to say is that Newcastle United should replicate the good performance in the premier league game against Chelsea that gave them a 4-1 win in the champions league in order to have a good chance of qualifying to the last 16 of the game even though they’re playing in a group of legendary teams who have more experience than them in the champions league competitions. What I have always noticed in the champions league game is that; it is always different energy and different gameplay pattern each team uses from the one they use in the domestic league games. Their effort should speak for them in the champions league just like it did for them in the premier league game.


Galatasaray appears to have a better chance of qualifying for the round of 16 in this encounter than Manchester United. Manchester United might strive to enhance their chances of qualifying for the Europa League in their next two games. Because of how the first leg was played out, their match against Galatasaray is expected to end in a tie, with Galatasaray more likely to win than Manchester United. If Manchester United can obtain a draw in this match and also their last match against Bayern Munich while Copenhagen fails to win either of their two matches against Bayern Munich or Galatasaray, Manchester United will be able to secure a place in the Europa League rather than being removed from all European competitions.

Paris Saint Germaine are currently performing well and winning matches and that's why almost every football fan including bookmakers are backing them to Newcastle United in their match week 5 game in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League competition. But considering Newcastle's performance against Chelsea in their English Premier League game yesterday, I don't think it'll be an easy task for Paris Saint Germaine to beat Newcastle in that game.

Newcastle who are at the bottom of the group knows that any result apart from winning on that game would definitely end their chances of reaching the knockout stages of the competition and might as well end their hopes of finishing third in the group and playing in the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League and that's why they're definitely gonna give their best in that game to make sure they either reach the knockout stages of UCL or that of UEL.

On the paper PSG is most favorable teams for qualifying to 16 round but Newcastle United manage well first meeting after success defeating PSG, this match crucial not only for PSG but also for Newcastle United want to get three points and secure their position for next round. Regarding on domestic league match result, not only Newcastle United have good capital after winning over from Chelsea but also PSG have good perform after defeating AS Monaco and they have one day more for getting rest than Newcastle United.

Remaining two points from PSG, Newcastle United not have many option except get three points and ability for securing one spot left on next round but if loss from PSG looks almost close for Newcastle if Dortmund win from AC Milan.

I'm not someone who is worried about PSG in the group phase, but losing 4-1 to Newcastle is a sign that PSG has not yet found its best performance under Luis Enrique. PSG won against Dortmund and Milan mainly because they played at home, but then PSG lost to Milan away from home. If PSG can play better at home, then there is a possibility for them to win the game against Newcastle and maybe lose again or drop points against Dortmund on the away game.

So far I am only confident that PSG can qualify for the round of 16 with a total of 9 - 10 points, but it is possible for PSG to lead the standings if they manage to win the remaining 2 matches against Newcastle and Dortmund. Newcastle, however, does not have a high probability of winning the next two matches, but they can threaten anyone who underestimates them, including PSG and Milan.

I believe that home or away matches will not have a big impact on the result of the match, so even though Manchester United will be playing away but I don't think it means Manchester United will lose. Because after all, Galatasaray also won against Manchester United when Galatasaray played away and thus, then of course Manchester United will also try hard to beat Galatasaray in this match as a way to take revenge of course. Because yes, after all, even though Manchester United this moment is at the bottom of the table, but in fact they only have a gap of 1 point. Therefore, because there is still a good chance, then of course Manchester United will be able to maximize it because yes, Manchester United basically also has better quality than Galatasaray.

Manchester united knowing how crucial it is I'm sure they will fight hard with all they have got to making sure they win or get a draw, although a draw wouldn't do any much for them but then it will keep them at a better advantage than a loss would do.

Bayern Munich may most likely win Copenhagen because they are better than Copenhagen in strength and depth, they are at the top in their league where they happen to be facing teams who are relatively tougher than those in the group stage at the UCL, but then if Manchester united wins against Galatasaray which is very possible because they have the home advantage, they will most likely be at the second position on the table and Stand a better chance to qualify.

I do agree that PSG still has a huge chance to win, they are the better team and yes they had a bad loss and that made them feel bad, but they are still the best team in that group. I think they could still end up winning both games and end the group in first place. However, after 4 games, the fact that they could be failing to go up is the biggest issue, they should have been getting 4 wins out of 4 games, and possibly finish 6 out of 6, not because of the difficulty of the group or anything like that but based on how much money they like to spend.

I mean if I had a team like that, I wouldn't expect them to have a loss at the group stages, I can understand later on, like if they lost at quarter finals that's understandable based on who they face of course, but I do not completely understand a team like that to end up losing during the group stages. And not just ordinary loss, it was 4-1, that was definitely something that would be harder to handle.
