International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Manchester United and Galatasaray are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It's no vacation for neither Manchester United nor Galatasaray as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Manchester United form and stats
Last season, United's Europa League journey ended in the quarter-finals against Sevilla.Manchester United have collected 6 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-0-2.
The Manchester United supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Old Trafford: A 0-1 defeat against Crystal Palace. Midfield player Fernandes got a match rating of 8.12 in that game, the max score being 10. Fernandes hit three key passes and had 60 successful passes (of 70 total).
Ahead of that fixture, a home win hosting Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Manchester United as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Brentford are visiting.
Manchester United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. United have conceded 6 from these games.
Galatasaray form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Super Lig travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 2W-1D-0L. This is both home and away.
Impressive finishing from Zaha secured the home win 2-1 against Ankaragucu in their previous game. Angeliño, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.31. Angeliño served one assist, hit seven key passes and won 1 of 5 duels.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Istanbulspor at their stadium, the result 1-0.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Galatasaray manager Buruk as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Antalyaspor.
Galatasaray are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. The Galatasaray defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({1 goals} in 4 games).
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the last three meetings featuring these two squads are: two wins for Manchester United, zero draws and one win for Galatasaray. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: two games.
