I'm afraid I won't be able to talk positive about Galatasaray at all. Because even though they are going to be the home side this is the first one of their toughest group matches. Bayern Munich are in a way better condition than Manchester United as you know. Galatasaray benefited from Manchester United's defensive weaknesses and Onana's mistakes both. But here I don't know what they can benefit from.    The only weakness could have been Ulreich but he has also been performing really well.

In addition to all of that Icardi got injured in the match against Besiktas. Okan Buruk said that they would assess the situation if he is able to play with an injection. He is a very crucial scorer for Galatasaray now.

It seems that these two teams have never competed in the UCL. If I'm not mistaken, then this is the first game of both teams. Of course logically and statistically the condition of the Bayern Munich team will win and indeed in the betting market many hold Munich. But with the current conditions, the match will be held in Galatasaray, so the chances of Galatasaray getting points are quite open. I was a little hesitant to choose Munich with a one-goal difference because a draw seemed possible.

Galatasaray have been playing very well the last few games and haven't lost in a while. Even managed to win the game against Manchester United in England, which can speak about their serious preparation. Although I also think that Bayern will win, because they are much stronger than Manchester United, but Galatasaray will definitely fight for points.

In the end the choice remains with Bayern because after all, even though in this match Galatasaray is playing at home and with a good match record in domestic competitions and the Champions Legaue but still they are still far below Bayern so I will not see any other possibility than 3 points for Bayern in this match.

It's just how now Tuchel's scheme is done to make this their advantage despite playing at the RAMS Park stadium, because in terms of quality and composition of current players Bayern should be able to dominate.
1.44 for Bayern's odds in this match is enough to prove that they are definitely the favorites to bring 3 points in this match.

Even though Manchester United got a narrow win against Copenhagen, that was good, but I think it will be difficult for them to qualify from the group unless they consistently win their matches against Munich and Galatasaray in the second meeting, it is not easy for Manchester United to qualify from this group because they have already lost. twice which made them fall far behind and lose important points to qualify for the group.

Whether Manchester United passes or not, but it seems like many people are favorites for Manchester United to win against Copenhagen and I also seem to see that Manchester United is slowly getting back up as seen from the domestic league where they are starting to get wins and beat their opponents, this is a tough task but ETH must really be able to put pressure on his team to play as hard as possible even though they have to win narrowly and not lose any more points. playing as hosts, Manchester United should be able to win 2 - 0

Do not underestimate when Man United failed over the last two matches then this will be their maximum match to not be too far from the word qualifying in the group phase, maybe in the previous match an Erik Ten Hag's failure because he could not win, with this crucial match it should be able to win at Old Trafford.

Everyone will think the same if Man United and Bayern are the team that will qualify, the facts are different but the possibility of Man United qualifying is still very open in this play off.

Playing at home usually has advantages where they play in front of fans with a fighting spirit to win higher, I said Copenhagen is not a balanced team, Erik Ten Hag should not underestimate it, make sure goals happen a lot to keep the series points later can determine in goals.

Most football fans assume like you, Bayern Munich will take home an easy win from Turkey. On the one hand, I also feel like your assumption because Bayern Munich is superior to Galatasaray. On the other hand, Galatasaray, who is very confident about the positive results achieved in the domestic league and the victory over Manchester United, will try to give a warm welcome to Bayern Munich in order to maintain their chances of qualifying for the next round. Anything could happen in the match, Bayern Munich could lose this match. Initial predictions can be wrong when the match starts, due to player injuries, red cards received by players and players not connecting well with each other.

Sevilla did something quite good in Laliga because they managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw in last Saturday's match, well no one thought they would be able to do it because they saw how the two teams were in quite different conditions.
With these results and also how Arsenal could only get a draw against Chelsea in the English Premier League, this will make the third match in the Champions League interesting and difficult to predict because Sevilla could beat Arsenal even though they are not favorites to win even though this is a home game for Sevilla. I'm pretty sure Sevilla will be able to surprise them by getting points in this match because they really need this because defeat will only further close their chances of qualifying for the knockout phase.

It is a must-win game for Manchester United tomorrow, if they fail to win, then their chances of qualification will be slim to none. When the draw was made everyone expected Manchester United and Bayern Munich to be the two teams to progress in that group, but United hae been so disappointing, and have lost two games out of two. Erik Ten Hag is a man under pressure, elimination from the CL group stage would put him under more pressure, but because United know how important this game is, i think they would win, it would not be a comfortable victory, but they'll just get over the line somehow.

Interesting, but I don't think it's that simple. In fact, we cannot yet confirm the line-up and pattern that Ten Hag will apply on the third matchday against Copenhagen. However, we know that currently the performance of Erik Ten Hag's current squad tends to not show a good game, let alone show an impressive game. Plus, many players are certain to be absent, especially defensive line players.

I was interested in Ruud Gullit's statement which said that United players often ignore Rasmus Hojlund, who so far has not been able to score a single goal in the Premier League. In short, the legend of the Dutch star player said that there was no unity in the United squad, especially the midfielders and the Red Devil strikers always wanted to score goals themselves, instead of helping their new striker get on the scoreboard. Most United players are too eager to score goals for themselves, cut inside, and always want to shoot, quoted from GOAL.

To be honest, lately I rarely watch Manchester United match after match. But in any case, I'm sure Ten Hag is aware of the problems that are occurring within his camp, especially in the Red Devil dressing room. However, as a coach, he will try to maximize and bring his squad to win the match against Copenhagen in the third round of the Champions League group stage.  playing at his own base, Ten Hag didn't want to experience a third defeat.
IMO, United still has a chance for that.  Moreover, if we refer to the available odds, United remains the favorite in this match with odds @1.37. Well, we'll see how they play the match later. Regarding whether or not they failed in the group phase, let time tell.

This is quite a tough match for Galatasaray because to be able to beat Bayern munich they definitely have to play better than what they have shown so far. Bayern munich is not a weak team, they have many quality players in the team who can be relied on to change the situation in their game. Galatasaray has good capital in this match and that is the victory they got when they faced Manchester united. I think Mauro Icardi will be one of the players who is quite productive in scoring goals this season so he will be expected to be able to make a big contribution in this match.

Apart from that, the head to head between the two where bayern munich was able to beat galatasaray with a big score but that was a long time ago in their meeting in the champions league. Yes, maybe the situation this time will be quite different considering that galatasaray is a team that is quite consistent both in the domestic league and in the champions league. I think maybe they will make a big surprise if they are able to secure 3 points in this match.

Yes, Mauro Icardi wants to continue his goalscoring form, but his situation is still uncertain, this is the biggest problem for us right now.
If he doesn't play in the game tomorrow, I don't think we have a chance to beat them. Because we don't have a striker.

Even though this Champions League match against Galatasaray is in Turkey, I don't think home advantage will be a big factor for Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich are already favorites against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich will perform very well against this team be it at their home ground or away. Bayern Munich will definitely try to win this match by a big margin. Bayern Munich won the first two matches of the Champions League so they are sure of the next round and the third match they will only play for a win and the balance of the third match will not make much difference for Bayern Munich. While this match is not so important for Bayan Munich, this match is very important for Galatasaray as the performance of this match will determine whether they go to the next round or end their Champions League journey here.

Benicar are doing great in their Domestic league they're even far better than Real Sociedad who are 5th in the Laliga, in their league they're 2nd position behind sporting and has only got one lose out of 8 games, but in the Champions league luck is not on their side cause just like Manchester United they've failed to perform well and have put themselves in a tight corner to qualify for the next round.

 Well all hope is not lost yet for them, if they could beat Real Sociedad to get the 3points then they could stand a chance to qualify cause Real Sociedad who are the leaders of their group (Group D) are just 4 points ahead of them, both Benfica and Sociedad performed well in their domestic match therefore it's going to be though however Benfica needs to careful and put up the best performance if they want to grab the 3points and stand a chance to qualify for the next round.

I agree that the performance of Benfica and Real Sociedad is actually quite balanced. But maybe Benfica will indeed be slightly favored in the match against Real Sociedad. Because playing as host sometimes makes a team have more self-confidence. But I don't think that Benfica will qualify from the group stage this time. Because Inter Milan and Real Sociedad seem to be able to maintain their current position. But I think the match will probably end in a draw. And if the match is held at Real Sociedad's home ground then I think Benfica will lose. But because the match will be held at Benfica's home, the result will probably be a draw.

They both won the last game they played, they both have won four out of the last five games and and both lost one game together. They could go ahead sharing points tommorow night.

Clubs from Portugal are tougher at home when playing the Champions League Competition but how did Salzburg during the first Champions League fixture get to win Benfica at home?

Take Kubo is in a good form, let's see if his strength can also be reflected against other European sides. Real Sociedad at the top, they have a good opportunity to go be group leaders to avoid a tough opposition in the knock out round.
I love the new discussion, talks about Manchester United, Bayern Munich sucks.

What do you think about Benfica's match against Real Sociedad, because currently Benfica hasn't got a single point and can they beat Real Sociedad in the group D phase later?

Actually, if we look at the quality of these two teams, it is quite balanced, but Benfica will be slightly favored because they will be the hosts. But Real Sociedad came with high motivation to be able to add points and also maintain first position in group D. I think this will be a challenge for Benfica and they must be able to beat Real Sociedad if they want to have a chance of qualifying for the next round. We know that Benfica performed very well last season, but unfortunately this season they have had quite a difficult time facing their opponents in Group D and have never tasted victory.

Manchester United too over hyped even when they can't play a good game, I'm greatly disappointed with the entire squad and how they play. They can not get that win again Copenhagen, if you get to analyze the game yeah, you'll see the chances they f a draw are higher than either of them sides winning.

The game tommorow I can say, Manchester United can not win Copenhagen. The qualification? I'll take back wherever I must have said. Manchester United though should improve else they're back in the Premier League week in week out!

Even though the game will be played in Turkiye and the good performance shown by Galatasaray in this group stage but honestly I don't think they could get a chance vs Bayern Munich since we cannot compare them to Manchester United.
ManU isn't playing good in the latest games and they are doing a lot of mistakes at the opposite of Bayern Munich which look more consistent with Sane and Kane scoring in every match basically.

Bayern might be a little more confident as well as Galatasaray who have a strong mentality after they were able to win over Manchester United, actually this is a match between two teams who have a chance of qualifying from this group, maybe they will have more motivation to be able to get points in the match This.
However, realistically, if we look at the quality of the two teams, of course Bayern is much stronger so I think they have a bigger chance of winning the match.
