Manchester United take on the visitors Galatasaray in the round 2 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Monday, October 3rd at Old Trafford (Manchester).
The Red Devils seemed to have eliminated their sources of concern. First, in 2022, they terminated Ronaldo's contract. Then, they loaned out Greenwood to Getafe before the deadline. However, it appears that the saying a holy place is never empty applies here in a peculiar way. Issues include Antony's accusations, Sancho's exclusion from the lineup, and, to top it off, an accident involving Rashford. Coupled with the poor form of players, the unreliability of their new number one, Onana, and subpar finishing, Manchester United is off to a bad start (although there's Chelsea for the truly disastrous). It's not surprising that their visit to Munich ended in a routine but vibrant defeat. It's crucial for them to maximize their results now.

Galatasaray, under Okan Buruk, have returned to the top of Turkish football. The Lions have discovered a new definition of rock bottom for themselves. It was the 2021/2022 season with humiliating results that saw them finish in 14th place in the final Super Lig standings. However, it was after this that a local legend was appointed as the head coach. The former footballer, with blood and gold credentials, won the previous championship ahead of schedule and, in the current season, with the addition of star newcomers, the club started off clearly intent on retaining the title. Simultaneously, they made it through the Champions League qualifiers against Zalgiris, Olimpija (Ljubljana), and Molde, only drawing in Vilnius. But in the first round, the Turks suffered a 0-2 loss to Copenhagen at home. Fortunately, they managed to snatch a hard-fought 2-2 draw.
In the 1993-1994 season, Galatasaray played three draws against English teams, only losing in the end. Furthermore, in 2012, the teams exchanged minimal victories on their home fields during the group stage of the Champions League. Red Devils are considered the favorites in this matchup, but there are concerns surrounding them. We'll take the neutral option with a total over 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
