Manchester United vs Istanbul Basaksehir
UEFA Champions League
Date: Tuesday, 24 November 2020
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Old Trafford.

In a competitive Group H, the Red Devils have managed to place themselves at the top after three match-days. And since they are taking on the dead-last placed Okan Buruk’s men, chances are high for the English contingent to post the three points.

Moreover, with the other two competitors – PSG and Leipzig taking on each other this same match-day in the group, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men could improve their lead further.

Going on, the Red Devils are also from the most competitive league in Europe, whereas the Turkish top flight is comparatively a much weaker one.

With a ticket to the knockouts on the line, count on the 13-time EPL champions to deliver a dominating performance and secure the needed three points.

Manchester United vs Istanbul Basaksehir: Head-to-head (h2h)

• Buruk’s men had recorded a 2-1 win at home in the reverse fixture. And this has been the sole face-to-face encounter between the two squads so far.
• Solskjaer’s men had won eight of their last sixteen match-ups against other Turkish teams.
• However, the Super Lig champions have a 100% winless record against other English rivals.
• They are yet to score against another EPL opponent as well.

Manchester United vs Istanbul Basaksehir: Prediction

The Red Devils lost 2-1 on the road the last match-day in the competition, against this same opponent.

However, barring that game they have a 100% winning record so far, and in the process, they had also inflicted a heavy 5-0 loss against the impressive Leipzig side, and recorded another 1-2 win away from home against the finalists of the last 2019-20 CL, PSG.

Going on, Solskjaer’s men are on a two-game winning run, and one of those victories were a 1-3 win on the road against Everton.

At home, they were also unbeaten in 15 of their preceding 20 fixtures, and they had also kept clean sheets in three of their previous four appearances.

On the other hand, their counterparts are on a two-match losing run, and they had conceded a total of six goals in the process. In addition, they had also lost seven of their last eleven road trips, and most importantly, they have a 100% winless record against other English opponents.

Taking these observations into account, expect a Manchester United win this Tuesday. Moreover, with the hosts eager to qualify for the knockouts, expect them to take advantage of this easier fixture, and go after a huge scoreline.
