As the final matchday of the Champions League group stage approaches, “Manchester United” is at the bottom of the standings with four points. However, their chances of advancing to the playoffs are still alive as “Copenhagen” and “Galatasaray” have one more point. Today, they need to win and hope for a favorable outcome in the parallel match. A draw between the competitors would be the best scenario. In their last away game, the “Red Devils” drew with “Galatasaray” (3:3). Overall, matches involving “Manchester United” in this Champions League edition have been the most goal-filled. Erik ten Hag’s team scored 12 goals but conceded 14 in the process. In the Premier League’s last round, Man United suffered a crushing defeat at “Old Trafford” against “Bournemouth” (0:3), although they had previously secured a victory over “Chelsea” (2:1). The team still lacks consistency. It is also concerning that forwards Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial missed training before the match against Bayern due to illness. Their appearance on the field today is in doubt.
Bayern Munich has had a series of four consecutive victories in the Champions League, securing the top spot in the group. In the last game against “Copenhagen,” Thomas Tuchel’s team did not deliver their best performance, settling for a draw with the Danes (0:0). Before that encounter, Munich consistently produced high-scoring matches, with all games featuring more than two goals and goal exchanges. In the Bundesliga’s previous round, Bayern suffered a devastating 1:5 defeat away against “Eintracht.” It was the team’s first setback in the championship after 13 matches. In the league table, Munich is in second place, trailing “Bayer” by four points with one game in hand.
