Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United Prediction, Stats, Analysis & Tips

Will Man Utd remain top of the pack after week three of play?

• Istanbul Basaksehir have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 Champions League matches.
• Istanbul Basaksehir has scored two or more goals in the last 3 superlig matches.
• Istanbul Basaksehir have averaged 8,5 shots per home game across all competitions this season.

TIP 1: Both teams will score

Manchester United started their Champions League campaign with a lot of class. They won first in Paris and then beat Leipzig at home last week. Some have already said they didn't get the results and many are hoping for two consecutive wins against Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir.

I'm not sure it's as simple as that, the capital club probably deserved to score in both games against PSG and Leipzig, but those two defeats mean they simply have to win here to have any chance of staying third. and a continuation. in the Europa League, if not in the top two. They have plenty of familiar faces in Demba Ba, Martin Skrtel and ex-red Rafael, but their most influential player of late has been Edin Visca. The Bosnian is the heart of the Turks' creativity and could come up with a goal or an assist to help his team do that.

With hosts having to go at one point or another I'm happy to take advantage of the 10/11 available on both teams to score. United thrive on games where their opponents attack them, so you wouldn't want to back down against them on Wednesday night, but their defense still leaves a lot to be desired.

TIP 2: Istanbul Basaksehir in most corners

I will follow this line of thought with a preview Basaksehir will take more corners at 5/2 as a price game. They scored 6 corners last time out against Leipzig and have scored 5, 10 and 13 in domestic home games this season. They also managed 7 away from home at Konyaspor in the weekend that just ended. The prices make United more likely to take the lead, which in turn would put the hosts in good position to take some corners.
