Current form

At the weekend, Bayern almost got a dry spell against home side Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park. Harry Kane was the main contributor to the demolition, scoring a hat-trick. 2 assists were provided by Leroy Sané, who is currently one of Bayern’s best players.

Galatasaray played their league match at home against Kasimpasa 2-1 and kept their one point lead at the top of the table over Fenerbahce. Wilfried Zaha was instrumental in the win, scoring both goals for the home team.

Group situation

Manchester United’s win over Copenhagen has shaken up the group situation. Currently Bayern is leading the group with 9 points, Galatasaray is defending 2nd place with 4 points, 3rd place belongs to Manchester with 3 points and last Copenhagen has one point for a draw with the Turkish team.

So for the Turkish club, any point gained would be crucial in the promotion math. Of course, Copenhagen could also help Galatasaray by taking points from the English giant. It could be said that the Turks have promotion in their hands no matter how the Munich match ends.

Who to watch

Leroy Sané is playing in excellent form. He cuts through the opposition’s defences with his predatory passes, he can surprise the opposition with a brilliant pass in the final stages, but he can also shoot hard and accurately. In the last 5 games he has 2 goals and 5 assists.

The most watched man in the visitors’ jersey will of course be the Argentine Mauro Icardi. The striker is the club’s top scorer in the domestic league and has 2 goals in the Champions League. Above all, the team from Turkey will rely on his choice of position and great goal-scoring flair.

Betting tips

The home side Bayern go into the rematch between these teams as favourites. The visitors can only surprise in Germany. The home side should win by a bigger score difference, so the match invites a bet on Bayern at a handicap of -1.5. The match will offer plenty of scoring opportunities, as both teams are in a great frame of mind, so bets on the number of goals in the match exceeding 2.5 come into consideration.
