Football games are not decided with our opinions we're only meant to say our own opinions on how the game would be. Domination in the Champions League doesn't mean that dominant club can't be beaten. Real Madrid last season lost to a random side last two seasons during the group stage but they fought hard ensuring the qualifications for the round of sixteen.

Four more games until the group stages gets to full conclusion. Two more meetings with Galatasaray, one with Copenhagen and lastly Manchester United. Too much expectations leads to heartbreaks. Why not enjoy these game gradually? Enjoy the process, don't rush it.

When it comes to quality of players between Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, it's very obvious that Bayern Munich are better the Turkish club.
That being said, Bayern Munich must play in their full strength if they really want to win double header games they have against Galatasaray. At Manchester United last week, Galatasaray showed that they're not a team to mess around with as they defeated the English Premier League club in their own turf. Bayern Munich is very beatable and would be beaten by Galatasaray if they underrate their opponents.

It is also natural that they are labeled as the weakest club in this group, because their experience in the Champions League is still minimal and like it or not, it can indirectly affect their appearance in the game. But so far, until the 2nd match at least, they can show a good performance and even they are now at the top of the standings with 4 points. At least their journey can still compete is a good achievement, especially the group they live in is the strongest group and is said to be a hell group. Their chances of making it to the next round are very high.



Exactly as I said before, their inexperience in the Champions League is why they are not considered much in this group. Now with what they've achieved so far, there's no reason for other clubs not to consider them a serious contender in the Champions League.
One thing I will appreciate about them is their ability to capitalize on their finncial situation. We can't deny that they are what they are today because they have very good financial capabilities.

But when it comes to statistics since the 2017-18 season they have only lost 1 time for the group phase in the Champions League the rest until now they have never tasted defeat when playing in the group phase and this is also a reason that I think can be used as a benchmark in winning 3 points.
Indeed, Galatasaray can still maximise the draw but it will also not be easy for them if they see the current conditions for Bayern, their strength and experience are different and Bayern have an attacking quality that is above Galatasaray's level so with this I am quite sure of 3 points in this match.

It won't be easy for Bayern but once they get into a rhythm I don't think Galatasaray will be too much trouble.

The defence is not very good and that is evident with them conceding 4 goals in 2 matches although it is covered by the attacking line quite well. The chemistry in defence is still a lot of gaps and that can be exploited by Bayern especially with their conditions which do have extraordinary attacks,
But in the end if there is a condition where an unexpected match when Galatasaray can win in this match then it looks like the road for Manchester United will be more difficult if it expects to qualify as runner up in group A.

Facing Galatasaray cannot be taken lightly. Because Galatasaray really has a very fast counterattack strategy. But Galatasaray's defense is actually not that good either. Sometimes their defenders move too far forward and are too late when returning to the back area. And I'm sure Bayern will be able to beat Galatasaray. Because the quality of Bayern's attack and defense is at a higher level. Galatasaray in the match against Man Utd they were very difficult. Even though we know Man Utd is not at its best this season. Meanwhile, Bayern is currently still in good form. But Bayern should not underestimate Galatasaray. because maybe Galatasaray will give a surprise.

Bayern Munich is the strongest team in the group and also one of the favorites to win this season, but that doesn't mean they don't have weaknesses and counter-attacks from opponents will always be an obstacle for a team that is concentrating on attacking, any team will always have difficulty dealing with that, but for me in the group phase Bayern Munich is still quite safe, they can concede or even get a draw in the next match, but It is quite certain that they will pass the group phase and the next focus is how to reduce mistakes that make their defense look weak, when they entered the knockout rounds and remained a productive team by always scoring goals in every match.

Currently the quotes are as follows:

Newcastle 1.28
PSG 1.33
Milan 2.75
Dortmund 4.00

Regarding Newcastle, I have no doubts - they look solid, but the other three clubs, although they have very different odds, in fact, I would say they have similar opportunities. Each round can turn an underdog into at least the second team in the group. The next round will be uncompromising - the guests must win in both pairs. If Newcastle and PSG win, they will most likely cement the current situation.

One thing that differentiates between Manchester United and Bayern Munich is the quality of the players as well as the performance of the players plus several injuries to key players. Munich is much better than Manchester United in attack, midfield and even defense. even so, for me Bayern has a weakness, namely Sven Ulreich as their final defensive wall. His performance was very doubtful when Thomas Tuchel's team played a crucial match. As for Galatasaray, I think Tuchel really knows the strength map of the team that will be his opponent on matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage.

Apart from that, what Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk implemented is not necessarily the same when they played the match against Bayern Munich. For me, it's quite the opposite, Okan as Galatasaray coach has to anticipate Bayern Munich's patterns and fast play. Apart from that, it's not just Kane who is dangerous when it comes to scoring goals. other players such as Lenoy Saney, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala and also other players. Tuchel doesn't only rely on Kane to get goals for their squad, Kane also contributes in terms of assists, and the players are also given the freedom to score goals if they have the opportunity. btw, I'm not in the mood to overestimate Bayern Munich. It's just that these two teams have a gap, we can even refer to the betting odds for these two teams. However, I am quite sure that Galatasaray will put up a fight against Bayern Munich. It's just that their defense line is quite weak and that proved to be the case against United.
Anyway, in football anything can happen and there are no definite and accurate predictions. So, let's just wait for the points on matchday 3.

Bayern Munich is very strong and one of the most worthy contenders for this year's Champions League title. However, the Galatasaray team cannot be called weak. Galatasaray's main strength is that they have excellent bonding between their players and their match strategy is quite good. Galatasaray may not have the same experienced and talented squad as Munich. Still, this team is capable of playing well enough. Galatasaray players proved it against Manchester United. And so if Bayern Munich are careless in this match then I think there is a possibility of them losing points. The Munich team will have to play very carefully in this match. At the same time, the Galatasaray team cannot be underestimated in any way. Any team can be dangerous at home.

The counterattack that Bayern must anticipate when facing Galatasaray because seeing from their game against Manchester United, the long passes of the Galatasaray players for counterattacks are quite troublesome and this must be anticipated by Bayern who always attack by locking up the defence and their players always come out of their posts to help attacks such as Davies and Mazroui who are always active in helping Bayern's attacks this could be a gap for Galatasaray.
But I'm pretty sure with the current difference in strength then this will not be a problem for Bayern and they will still win 3 points in this match.

No matter how hard Galatasaray will try I don't think they have the power to get this point although their attack is brilliant with Icardi and Zaha,two ex Serie A really good strikers.We saw the power of Bayern Munchen in the game against Copenhagen where they got down in the second half and in this exact remaining part of the game they got together and turned things around,no other team would have done that as easily as Bayern and in such short amount of time that was remaining to the game.One thing is sure though,with those strikers Galatasaray is going to score.

Bayern Munich remains the favorite even though this time they will play at home to Galatasaray, Bayern Munich superiority in terms of player material and their experience in the Champions League gives Munich the opportunity to take points home from Galatasaray. Galatasaray, who are performing well in the domestic league, are trying to fight back to get points from Munich, they have to play disciplined and close all the space tightly to prevent Bayern Munich players from bombarding their defense. One point is very important for Galatasaray, they must take advantage of the home game to keep their position safe.

we can admit that Bayern Munich always gets the edge and most people would also prefer to bet on Munich because it is very convincing but as a bettor you have to be careful because after all Galatasaray is very aggressive and has big ambitions in this UCL so the chance of losing is of course also there but we can bet using other options such as double chance.
If we compare the depth of player performance, Munich will definitely be superior because the experience and line-up of the current players is extraordinary. but we also have to pay attention that several times what is worrying is that Bayern Munich's goalkeeper sometimes does not perform optimally and causes Bayern Munich to lose.

and for the score the possibility of winning is slim 0-1 or 1-2 for Bayern Munich.

I don't think it was just defense that was a problem and Onana also made several mistakes which put the ball into the net. Bayern Munich's performance against Manchester United also didn't look that good, because even though they were two goals ahead in the first half they conceded in the second half. This shows that Bayern Munich's defense was also not very good in that match so this should be a special concern for the coach in the upcoming match.

Facing Galatasaray, Bayern Munich must pay special attention to their defense if they don't want to concede. Galatasaray will probably play quite carefully in this match and playing at home gives Galatasaray the opportunity to get victory or the match ends in a draw.

The game of Bayern Munich with Manchester United showed that the club is not perfect with the defense and 2 goals of MU is a vivid illustration of this. Galatasaray, too, under certain circumstances, can rest and achieve results, so you should not discount them and give an unconditional victory in advance. Bayern Munich has certain moments when the team gets lost and allows the opponent to get back into the game again.

Bayern's position is not yet safe. The club needs to win at least 4 matches in a row on the group stage to make its position much more safer than before. It's caused by the gap was not so big compared to the team below it.
Tuchel's team needs to win more match to ensure its position will not be replaced by another team. Bayern needs three points from galatasaray. This will help the club to create the gap to the second position of club right now.

I hope manchester united will be going to the europa league by being placed at the third position at the end of group qualification. We shall not even talk about the qualification stage coz bayern is still trying to save its position as the winner of group stage.

Winning against galatasaray will make the chance to win the group stage is even bigger. Galatasaray is not that strong. I think bayern will able to get perfect results against it soon.
Three points from galatasaray is a must for the club.

There isn't much to compare between these two teams. Bayern Munich will always be favourites to win, not because of their name, but because of their style of play and long-standing domination in the Champions League competition. Galatasaray may be good and doing very well in both their domestic league and the Champions League, but they have no chance against Bayern Munich no matter what even if Bayern Munich is in poor form and performing ineffectively.  Bayern has already won the group stage, and we should be thinking about who they will face in the qualification round.

As said by Carlos Ancellotti, Jude Bellingham is a special player and not a striker. He has been scoring doesn't make him a goal machine, I love what he is doing and would want to see more.

Can you drop the entire list of clubs according to the way they're being ranked?

Jude Bellingham so far has got to be the best transfer done this season, he has scored and done everything to support his teammates.
I want to see him taking his game to another level. Half he is working with the best club and set of midfielder's.

I can understand this situation mate, there are always surprises in every match, even Galatasaray playing at home also has a slightly greater chance of winning, but I am just trying to think logically looking at the depth of the players performance and the quality of the current players. so I say Bayern Munich still has a chance to win because as I said before, Kane can still be relied on even though he has difficulty scoring goals when he is always being blocked by opposing defenders, but Tuchel strategy is always right, he will also rely on Leroy Sane, Musiala and also Gnarby.
some of the players I mentioned will also play an important role for Bayern Munich in getting a winning score and the contribution of these players can replace Kane when he has difficulty scoring. so, whatever happens betting on Bayern Munich does not seem to hurt.

In Group A, Manchester United the only one team not get points yet from two matches than Bayern Munich with impressive performance winning 2 matches and Galatasaray on 2nd position have get 4 points. Finish on second place as realistic target for Manchester United in Champion League but depend next match against Copenhagen how possibility with United get three points or not. I am waiting with Manchester United upcoming match result against Copenhagen for predicting how bigger chance qualifying to the next round or Manchester United have relegated to Europe League in their first performance in Champion League after absent last year. Not only depending with Manchester United matches result but also waiting with consistency Galatasaray performance.
