Galatasaray and Manchester United will play in the 5th round of the Champions League group stage on 29 November. The starting whistle will sound at 20:45 Moscow time.

Galatasaray in four matches of the group stage gained 4 points. The results are not the best, but the team still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League playoffs. However, they need to do well in the remaining two matches. After the defeat to Bayern in the 4th round of the group stage, Galatasaray played two games in the Turkish championship. On 11 November, the team lost to Hatayspor (1:2), and two weeks later defeated Alanyaspor (4:0). Now Galatasaray has the same number of points as Copenhagen - four points each. The Danish club will face Bayern in their next meeting and will likely lose. Galatasaray is hugely motivated. There is a high probability that in case of victory, the team will go to the second place. Galatasaray plays great at home this season. The team scored points in every meeting. There was only one fiasco - in the LC match with Bayern (1-3). It happened on 24 October.

Before the start of the group stage, Manchester United was considered one of the favourites in the quartet. But now the Mancunians are in a difficult position. In the spring, the team may be left without European cups at all. We need to rectify the situation as soon as possible. In four matches, Manchester United have picked up only three points. But there are still two meetings to go. In the group stage, Manchester United achieved only one victory. The club took the upper hand over Copenhagen at home (1-0). In the other three meetings there were defeats. In the upcoming match, it is difficult to identify a clear favourite. Both teams will fight for victory. An extremely tense confrontation is expected, because the loser may drop out of the European Cup.

In this match bookmakers favour the visitors. On the victory of Manchester United can be bet for 2.50. A win for the home team comes with odds of 2.75. A draw is priced at 3.60. The English club must urgently correct the situation. Manchester United will manage to win three points in Istanbul.
