Champions League Betting Preview: Manchester City vs Galatasaray

Premier League powerhouse Manchester City host Turkish Super Lig leaders Galatasaray at Etihad Stadium in the final round of the UCL league phase, with kick-off set for 16:00 on Wednesday 28 January.

Man City can be backed at -2 on the Asian Handicap in the knowledge that we get our stake returned if Pep Guardiola's side beat Galatasaray by two goals. A bigger win lands a full return at attractive betting odds of -100.

Manchester City sit 11th in the Champions League standings and are only outside the top eight on goal difference as they push for direct qualification, while Galatasaray, currently 17th, trail the top eight by three points but hold a two-point cushion over the teams below in the race for the knockout places.

City beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2–0 at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League last time out. The Citizens enjoyed 64% possession and had four shots on target, with Omar Marmoush and Antoine Semenyo each scoring one goal.

Galatasaray claimed a 3–1 Super Lig win on the road against Fatih Karagumruk at Vefa Stadium in their last game. The Istanbul side racked up four shots on goal and boasted 64% possession, while Gabriel Sara found the net twice and Victor Osimhen bagged one.

In their previous Champions League matches, City suffered a surprising 3-1 loss when visiting Norwegian Eliteserien outfit Bodo/Glimt, while Gala hosted Atlético Madrid and played out a 1-1 draw.
