Manchester United are bottom of Champions League Group A and travel to third-placed Galatasaray. The Red Devils are a point adrift of their opponents and FC Copenhagen who are second. Their only points earned so far came in a 1-0 home win over the Danes. Their other three games have all been lost, one each against the other three sides in the group. That includes a loss at leaders Bayern Munich, who United host in their final group fixture. A loss in Turkey would see them unable to qualify for the knockout stages. They'd even miss out on a transfer to the Europa League if Copenhagen were somehow to win away to Bayern. Sunday saw them beat Everton 3-0 away and a repeat of that performance is what they will need in Turkey.  The win at Goodison Park was the fourth they've had in their last five away fixtures.

Galatasaray are only behind second placed Copenhagen on goal difference. Their final group game is away to Copenhagen and they too will be hoping the Danes lose in Germany this week. The Turks have four points from as many group games. Their only win was the 3-2 victory at Old Trafford. At home, they lost 3-1 to Bayern and drew 2-2 with Copenhagen, coming from 2-0 down. Saturday saw them beat Alanyaspor at home in the Turkish Supe rLig and they are now second in the table. That was a welcome win after two successive defeats. Home form has produced just one loss (to Bayern Munich) in their last 16 league and cup games. A bet on both teams to score is our suggested wager.
