Galatasaray vs Manchester United betting preview

It’s been said many times by Manchester United fans before but oh for the days of Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Champions League group stage was often a formality for Fergie’s men but the Erik ten Hag version of United finds itself bottom of the group and staring an early exit in the face.

Having already suffered three defeats in the competition, including 3-2 in the reverse fixture, that will be the outcome if they lose here.

A draw would keep their hopes of making the last 16 alive but their destiny would be out of their hands. That could still be the case even if they win but three points looks a must for the visitors here, especially with Bayern Munich still to play on matchday six.

Of course, it won’t be easy. Gala are a point better off and eyeing the last 16 themselves. A draw for them keeps the Turks in control of their own destiny.

They caused United a lot of problems going forward back in October and United’s defence remains vulnerable against the better sides.

Only leaders Arsenal have kept more Premier League clean sheets but the fact is they’ve shipped 3+ goals on seven occasions this season, including three times in this competition, plus domestic games against the Gunners, Newcastle, Brighton and Man City.

This may well prove another European struggle but recent history suggests it may well entertain with the goals angle one worth pursuing.

Galatasaray vs Manchester United key stats

Over 4.5 goals (Spreadex)

United’s games in this season’s Champions League have been wild with three of the four landing this bet, including the reverse fixture at Old Trafford. Two of them featured seven goals!

A defeat sends United out of the competition so they have to come out if they fall behind, while it’s hard to see them trying to keep things tight as they’ve simply not been good enough at doing that.

They may have won 3-0 at Everton on Sunday but that didn’t really tell the story – the hosts had enough chances in the first half to have been ahead at the break and United won’t score a wonder goal to open the scoring and immediately take the pressure off very often.

Essentially, there looks to be some value in this long shot.

⚽ Back over 4.5 goals at 10/3 at Spreadex ⚽

Lucas Torreira 2+ fouls (bet365)

The former Arsenal midfielder loves to get stuck in and that’s reflected in the fact he’s recovered possession more than any other player in this season’s Champions League.

Put into layman’s terms, he makes a lot of tackles – and they inevitably lead to fouls.

Torreira has landed the 2+ fouls bet in seven of his last 11 games, including the match with United at Old Trafford.

In what is likely to be a hotly-contested game, given what’s at stake, getting odds-against about this outcome looks a strong play.

⚽ Bet on Torreira 2+ fouls at 11/8 at bet365 ⚽

Wilfried Zaha to score (Sky Bet)

Everton have made more tackles than any other Premier League side this season and the expected raucous atmosphere should only increase the numbers as Bluenoses roar their men to get ‘stuck in’.

Garner makes the top 10 in the division for tackles and since moving into a more central midfield position, he’s landed this bet in all five games.

Again, the price looks a big too big and worth snapping up.

⚽ Back Garner 3+ tackles at 21/20 at Sky Bet ⚽
