Our Prediction Tip

Manchester United will win this match.

This will be the first time these two teams have met in European football. Istanbul Basaksehir’s only previous experience of playing English opposition was when they took on Burnley in the Europa League in 2018.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Man United Betting Tips

Manchester United might be at the wrong end of the Premier League table, and suffered another loss – 1-0 to Arsenal – at the weekend, but their Champions League form has been excellent.

Following victory against Paris Saint-Germain, Marcus Rashford stepped off the bench with a hat-trick as they thrashed RB Leipzig 5-0 last week.

Istanbul Basaksehir, by contrast, have won their last three league games but lost both matches in Group H so far.

They are yet to score a goal in this group and they look short of goals in general, with Demba Ba yet to get off the mark this season, for example.

At the back, they have former United man Rafael and ex-Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel.

But United’s in-form front men, fresh from the five they put past Leipzig, should be confident of more success this time out.

Their Premier League form is not good, but they are still big favourites for this Champions League game.

Istanbul Basaksehir Team News

Nacer Chadli, one of a small group of former Premier League players in the Basaksehir squad, is a doubt, while Cacicara is definitely ruled out. Enzo Crivelli, Azubuike Okechukwu and Mahmut Tekdemir could aos miss out.

Istanbul Basaksehir Key Players

Demba Ba – Well know to Premier League supporters, the Senegalese striker – now a veteran of this side – could prove himself on the big stage one final time.
Daniel Aleksic – Scored what proved to be the winning goal last time out, with his first of the season in the win against Konyaspor.
Martin Skrtel – The former Liverpool defender would love nothing more than to shut down United’s in-form front line.

Istanbul Basaksehir Team Form

Istanbul Basaksehir have won their last three consecutive league games, but they have lost their two Champions League matches in between. They lost 2-0 to RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain, but beat Antalyaspor 5-1 in their last home league game and 2-1 against Konyaspor last time out.

Istanbul Basaksehir Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line up: 4-2-3-1

Man United Team News

Alex Telles is out under the current medical guidelines, while Eric Bailly and Phil Jones remain long-term absentees. Jesse Lingard has travelled but faces a late fitness test, while Anthony Martial is back in contention up front. From the last Champions League game, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes could come into the starting line-up.

Man United Key Players

Bruno Fernandes – Continues to score penalties and supply assists, having been instrumental since his arrival last year.
Marcus Rashford – Took his off-field efforts onto the field as he stepped off the bench to hit a late hat-trick in the win against RB Leipzig.
Anthony Martial – In contention for Saturday with his domestic ban over, so he will be keen to prove himself up front in this match too.

Man United Team Form

United have twice failed to follow up their Champions League wins with league success. They drew 0-0 with Chelsea following the 2-1 win against PSG and then, after the 5-0 victory against RB Leipzig last week, they lost 1-0 to Arsenal. Mason Greenwood opened the scoring against Leipzig, before Marcus Rashford stepped off the bench to hit a hat-trick and Anthony Martial also scored in the 5-0 win.

Manchester United Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line up: 4-3-1-2

Manchester United's excellent Champions League form has been in stark contrast to their Premier League campaign so far. In Europe, they have been excellent so far and, after two wins from two, are big favourites when they take on winless Istanbul Basaksehir - who are yet to score in Group H so far.
Manchester United have won both matches so far, scoring seven goals in the process.
