Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United
UEFA Champions League
Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2024
Start at 17.55 in the UK
Location: Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu, Istanbul.

Manchester United have not looked good in the Premier League standings, disappointing their large fan base several times this season. The situation is completely different when it comes to matches in the UEFA Champions League.

The Red Devils defeated PSG and RB Leipzig in the first two games, having a chance to secure the playoffs this Wednesday in Turkey.

Rivals Istanbul Basaksehir are bottom of the table on zero points and have no choice but to attack United and go for the much-needed victory.

All in all, we should see an interesting and open contest. Manchester United are heavy favorites with a stake of 1,36.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United Head to Head

There were no previous meetings between Istanbul Basaksehir and Manchester United.

The Turkish champions have faced an English team on their travels across Europe. It was a clash against Burnley FC in 2018 in the Europa League qualifying stage and they were defeated by a total of 0-1 FT.

Interestingly, the Red Devils lost their last duel on Turkish soil to Fenerbahçe in 2016 in the UEFA Champions League 2-1. They have had a total of 16 matches against Turkish sides so far, winning eight and losing five.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Manchester United Prediction

After a very slow start in the domestic Super Lig, the Istanbul champions have recovered somewhat in recent weeks. They are currently on a superb run of three straight wins against Trabzon, Antalya and Konya with an aggregate goal difference of 9-2. The biggest danger to Manchester's bottom line comes from veteran Demba Ba and Bosnian winger Edin Visca. Truth be told, Basaksehir deserved at least one goal in last week's clash with PSG.

Manchester United were stunned on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford after losing to Arsenal FC. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is certainly not happy with 15th in the table with just seven points accumulated from six games. We wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of changes to the roster, as it could leave some of the best players for the EPL clash with Everton. We expect to see Edinson Cavani in the starting eleven. In our opinion, the big bet of both teams is to score here, while winning away from home for such a low price is not worth risking.
