At the Etihad, City traditionally control the ball and pace, but Guardiola’s team have been making mistakes in the opponents’ quick transitions lately. Losses force Bernard Silva and Phil Foden to take on more responsibility, while Erling Holland remains the main hope in the final phase. In the absence of guarantees of a place in the top 8, the hosts are unlikely to play carefully – they need a victory, which is no secret.
Galatasaray arrive in Manchester with a reputation as a team that isn’t afraid to attack, even against heavy favourites. Under the leadership of Okan Buruk, the Istanbul club is experiencing one of the most successful periods in its history – two consecutive Super League titles, record winning streaks and the status of the most successful club in Turkey. In the current Champions League draw, the team scored 10 points (3 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses) with a goal difference of 9:9.
Even in away matches, star Galatasaray shows character and willingness to play as number two with sharp counterattacks. The City’s defense will have to pay special attention to the flanks, where Barysh Alper Yilmaz is active, as well as to the quick attacks of the attacking line with Leroy Sane and Victor Osimgen. The Turkish giants have already proven that they are capable of punishing for free space and are unlikely to abandon their style at the Etihad.
According to the version bettingyou can bet on the victory of Manchester City with the coefficient 1.23while Galatasaray’s potential success is measured by the indicator 12.00. The probability of a draw is represented by a coefficient 7.00
📋 INDICATIVE COMPOSITIONS MANCHESTER CITY: Donnarumma — Nunes, Khusanov, Gei, O’Reilly — Rangers — Semenho, Bernardo, Foden, Doku — Holland
