Galatasaray vs Man United – Over 3.5 Goals

Man United travel to Turkey facing an uphill battle to remain in the Champions League, as they take on Galatasaray.

Galatasaray are level on points with Copenhagen going into the penultimate gameweek, but they are behind on goal difference. Given they play Copenhagen in the final game and they have an away trip to Bayern Munich, a result here would do them the world of good in getting through to the knockout stages.

Scott Thornton's Galatasaray vs Man United Prediction & Betting Tips.

As for Man United, they are bottom of the group and they effectively out if they fail to win in Turkey, given they host Bayern Munich in their last game. Erik ten Hag’s side picked up a crucial win against Everton on the weekend which will give them confidence away from home, but it is still up against them.

The reverse fixture saw plenty of goals, with a 3-2 going the way of the visitors. Both of Galatasaray’s home UCL fixtures and United away days in Europe have seen this bet come off, so we expect both teams to have their shooting boots on and see over 3.5 goals scored in the game.

Real Madrid vs Napoli – Real Madrid win

Real Madrid take on Napoli as they look to secure top spot in their Champions League Group having already qualified for the knockouts.

Los Blancos were the victors in the reverse fixture, winning 3-2 out in Naples. They’ve lost just the one fixture this season, and have a 100% record in the Champions League, so you’d expect them to continue that against the Italian outfit.

As for the visitors, a win could confirm their place in the knockouts, but this would be an almighty task considering the hosts have won the last three meetings in previous Champions League ties. Everything leads up to a Real Madrid win, and we would be hard fought to think anything else.

Braga vs Union Berlin – Braga win

The other game in Group C sees Braga host Union Berlin, with both teams fighting for qualification to the knockouts and the Europa League spot.

Braga have just the one win in the Champions League, a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against their opponents in the reverse fixture. They must win and hope Napoli don’t win to give them a fighting chance of qualifying for the last 16.

As for Union, they’ve been on an awful run of 15 games without a win, which consisted of a 12 game losing streak in all competitions. They did pick up a draw away at Napoli and against Augsburg more recently, so there is some hope for the German side.

We don’t think it will be enough for the visitors though, and we think they’ll go out of the group in bottom place after their latest defeat against Braga to finish off this Wednesday Treble.
