UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[EL MOHA]

Now that they have turned around the game against Copenhagen and got their full three points, it is highly unlikely that they could still fail to pass the group stage in the Champions League. They haven't lost a single game in the group stage in years. The game against Galatasaray in Istanbul will not be easy and the game against Manchester United in Old Trafford will also be tough, but they don't feel the pressure anymore that they have to win every game from now on. They will be doing fine if they win their home games against Galatasaray and Copenhagen. That will do the job for them. But the goal will be to win the group of course as it raises their chances to avoid to play against a heavy weight in the round of 16.

I am with the prediction that Bayern Munich will top the group. When the group seeding was done many actually had a prediction of the top spot been between them and Manchester United but with the way United are playing they would only get second best in the group if they even qualify. The big threat to united will certainly be Galatasaray, they have been one of the hottest clubs in Europe this season and if Bayern can beat them in the two legs and United produce same result in the other game with Copenhagen then Bayern will have save them selves the top spot. And this is something I am speculating to happen except we see a very different Galatasaray.

Bayern Munich are better than Galatasaray but we all know that Bayern have weak moments where they are performing badly and Galatasaray could profit from these moments to pick a point for exemple.
Odds are way in favour of Bayern Munich although they are playing an away game. This group depends a lot from Copenhagen games and the direct game between Galatasaray and Manchester United.

You can’t say they are better now because the stats so far favors Galatasaray over the other clubs in the group, they have the better wining record in all competitions this season than the other three clubs. I also don’t see them winning but you can be sure with the way Bayern are even playing this season.

Yes indeed, although Galatasaray managed to beat Manchester United but of course, it does not mean that Galatasaray will be able to beat Bayern Munich too. Because after all, Bayern Munich is basically the team that can certainly win Group A, considering the previously predicted competitor team is Manchester United . But in fact, Manchester United have had poor results in the group stage so far and therefore, Galatasaray will surely look to maximize this situation to become the runner up of group A.

Bayern should not be compared with Manchester United now, the Red Devils have many internal problems, this affects their results. Galatasaray will not be able to beat Bayern, but it may well score 1-2 goals, because Bayern's defense is not in the best condition right now and they still do not have a reliable goalkeeper in whom they can be confident, but the same goes for Galatasaray, they concede a lot of goals and I think Bayern will be able to score two or more goals.

Bayern Munich is the favorite in the group. There's no comparison with M.United. The old M.United is gone.
Galatasaray will definitely not beat Bayern Munich in Germany. (I hope I am wrong. )
Maybe we can beat them in Istanbul but it is a very low chance.
My prediction is that we will get 1 point in Istanbul.

Galatasaray has great chances of moving forward to the next stage as the Manchester United is simply having too many problems at the moment, with one of them being their overconfidence, just one day before the match against Galatasaray, Raphael Varane a Defender of Manchester United claimed the club has what it takes to win the UCL, when in fact they do not seem to have what it is necessary to move to the next round.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Bayern should not be compared with Manchester United now, the Red Devils have many internal problems.

Seriously, I don't see a reason why to compare Bayern Munich to Manchester United at this moment. Manchester United have been performing poorly in this on-going champions league and also in their domestic league, but Bayern Munich is performing well despite not being the team topping their domestic league table, so I don't see a reason to compare these two teams performances together. It is clear that Bayern Munich is better off than Manchester United currently, but I don't know what their performance will be in the next game. Maybe they will get back in form and start playing strongly.

Bayern Munich are better than Galatasaray but we all know that Bayern have weak moments where they are performing badly and Galatasaray could profit from these moments to pick a point for exemple.
Odds are way in favour of Bayern Munich although they are playing an away game. This group depends a lot from Copenhagen games and the direct game between Galatasaray and Manchester United.

I should also say that Bayern Munich should be better than Galatasaray from the set of players each team is keeping currently, but let me not jump to conclusions and say that because Galatasaray have also been performing great in their domestic league, but still, I am not sure if they can beat Bayern Munich. If Bayern Munich did not win the match against Galatasaray, the poor performances I am expecting from them should be a draw, but let's see what happens that day. Maybe my prediction will go wrong.

[Ndabagi01]

I think Bayern Munich's performance this season has improved compared to last season, but I don't expect them to be perfect. There are still 4 other matches that they have not played in the group stage and of course we are all still waiting to see how they finish. So I have no doubts about their abilities in each match because basically Bayern Munich is a higher quality team than the other 3 teams in Group A.

Bayern Munich's performance has been the best in comparison to the other teams in that group. They have a six-point advantage in the group after winning their first two games. There is also no indication that they will lose their next group stage encounter due to their current dominance. They say football is unpredictable, but Bayern Munich's odds of progressing to the next round are nearly 100%, and I don't see anything stopping that from happening now. 

Manchester United have lost their first two matches in the Champions League and have just one game left in the group which they must win by a big margin. If Manchester United cannot win by a big margin in the last match of the group stage of the Champions League, then Manchester United will be eliminated from the group stage.

Manchester United has lost two games and has four more to play in the group round. If they win all four remaining matches, which I doubt, they will qualify for the next round of the Champions League. Manchester United's form has been inconsistent and many people have lost faith in the club. They are not performing poorly, but in the Champions League, they must put in more effort if they want to go to the next round of the group stage with others.

[DaNNy001]

Bayern Munich have won 2 of the 6 matches they will play in the group stage. That was enough to make them lead the Group A standings even though they conceded 4 goals in 2 matches. In fact it doesn't matter how many goals you concede as long as you win the match, it is enough to qualify for the next stage.

I think Bayern Munich's performance this season has improved compared to last season, but I don't expect them to be perfect. There are still 4 other matches that they have not played in the group stage and of course we are all still waiting to see how they finish. So I have no doubts about their abilities in each match because basically Bayern Munich is a higher quality team than the other 3 teams in Group A.

Pretty sure Bayern Munich will qualify maybe also be the group winners in this preliminary round, it can be said with the remaining 4 matches they can win even though we are looking forward to how it continues.

Usually Tuchel's team will qualify without tough competition, feeling that this team can go far to the next phase, maybe it will also be a little different when the handle is Tuchel who has experience where he has brought the UCL champion when with Chelsea, or maybe Bayern will feel it?

It's definitely still hard to guess, I feel that Bayern will still be a strong team in the UCL.

Now that they have turned around the game against Copenhagen and got their full three points, it is highly unlikely that they could still fail to pass the group stage in the Champions League. They haven't lost a single game in the group stage in years. The game against Galatasaray in Istanbul will not be easy and the game against Manchester United in Old Trafford will also be tough, but they don't feel the pressure anymore that they have to win every game from now on. They will be doing fine if they win their home games against Galatasaray and Copenhagen. That will do the job for them. But the goal will be to win the group of course as it raises their chances to avoid to play against a heavy weight in the round of 16.

With the way that group is already set up and the way Bayern Munich are currently playing I don't think any team will stand a chance to actually qualify ahead of them. Bayern Munich no doubt will love to win all their matches but to something I was feel that Munich are lacking consistency and that's why they have were flipping like light bulp. But now that the team is looking better it would be very hard to actually get a point off them.

[Iroh]

It must become the most potential result. I meant let's take a look at how galatasaray was destroying manchester united away. I can't use it as the right measurement but it gives me a small insight about how strong galatasaray is.
The performance from the club can go up anytime with the help of its adrenaline. In my opinion if we will see a tough game between bayern and galatasaray soon.
Everything may be going well soon.

I don’t think a draw would be a potential result. More like a win for Bayern Munich. Rightly noted about not using the defeat Man United suffered to completely form an opinion. Bayern Munich is by quite a large margin, stronger than Galatasaray and would claim the win when they meet later.
I don’t think they are much of a threat foot Bayern. They might score a goal or two but I think Bayern Munich would come out victorious in the end.
It would be interesting to watch how Galatasaray would try for a win.

In fact, the money they spent in Bayern Munich during the summer is the main reason to say why Bayern Munich is the favorite in this group.
Bayern Munich after Kane is even stronger than before while other teams in this group like Manchester United are losing power time after time and the Mancshte United we see right now is not in good form, also the other two teams are not in the same level with a team like Bayern Munich.

Galatasaray's defense is not very good either. They gave many open positions in the Manchester United match and Hojlund punished the Galatasaray defense with 2 goals. It is certain that it will be a difficult match against Bayern Munich, but Galatasaray needs to get at least 1 point in these 2 difficult matches so that their chances of finishing the group in second place increase.

It seems to me that even if Bayern are not the main candidate for the championship this season, they are still much better than other clubs like Barcelona or PSG... Right now Bayern are in first place in the group and have won two games... That's a good result...

I don't see you giving reasons why Bayern Munich is better than Barcelona, ​​but I agree Bayern Munich is much better than PSG who have only won 1 of 2 games. Barcelona also won 2 games, they did it without conceding a single goal, but it would be good if you found a reason why Barcelona was worse.

Barcelona leads the Group H standings without any mistakes so far. They are favorites to progress to the last 16 and I am completely confident about that. Bayern Munich are also favorites to qualify for the last 16, but I'm not sure they are better Bayern than Barcelona because the two have not met so far. Barcelona and Bayern Munich are in a relatively easy group, so both are favorites in my opinion compared to PSG.

This may be his reason https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/history/h2h/50080/50037/

Bayern was always dominating barcelona in UCL. Bayern had been winning 10 games against barcelona with 33 goals which is amazing. compared with barcelona which was only able winning two times against bayern.
The domination from bayern over barcelona is obviously true. UCL head to head statistic has become the main proof why barcelona was not as good as bayern. The gap is quite big between these clubs.
Bayern has always been dominating the match against barcelona. No doubt if people will always be calling bayern was even better compared with barcelona caused by the statistic had been also explaining it properly.
Blaugrana was always losing against bayern with huge scores. It's a sense statement to call that if barcelona was bad when it's compared with bayern.

[TelolettOm]

Galatasaray's defense is not very good either. They gave many open positions in the Manchester United match and Hojlund punished the Galatasaray defense with 2 goals. It is certain that it will be a difficult match against Bayern Munich, but Galatasaray needs to get at least 1 point in these 2 difficult matches so that their chances of finishing the group in second place increase.

You're right. Galatasaray already got 4 conceded goals from 2 matches in this group phase. In each match, Galatasaray was conceded 2 goals. It indicates Galatasaray defense is actually rather weak. But their attackers played quite well, they scored 5 goals from 2 early matches. However, when they play against a strong team like Bayern Munich, it won't be easy to be as productive as the previous matches. So, I'm a bit doubtful that Galatasaray attackers will score many goals again. I just think that Galatasaray will be too focused on the defense line. They will play more defensive. It is a chance for Bayern Munich to play more offensively. Considering this matter, I assume the match will end with a draw result or a big win for Bayern Munich. It depends on how strong Galatasaray defenders to stop Bayern attackers.

I would rather than the defenders of galatasaray was too inconsistent. They were always going out of their positions. it makes galatasaray feel so hard in defending from the counter attack that might be coming from its opponent. I saw that how galatasaray was struggling when it was facing MU.
Galatasaray will meet strongest club in the group and im feeling doubt about the consistentcy from the club. This makes me feel so confidence to put my bet on bayern instead of galatasaray. Munchen is still being favorable to win the match even though it will be playing away.
Munchen's odds @1.47 while galatasaray was @6.20 btts @1.60

it's likely that if bayern will able to win against galatasaray with narrow score at this moment. Im feeling so confidence with bayern and tuchel has a target to get perfect result against galatasaray when it was playing away.
We are still far away from there after of international break. It looked like very long to wait it to come.

[AndySt]

Manchester United has lost two games and has four more to play in the group round. If they win all four remaining matches, which I doubt, they will qualify for the next round of the Champions League. Manchester United's form has been inconsistent and many people have lost faith in the club. They are not performing poorly, but in the Champions League, they must put in more effort if they want to go to the next round of the group stage with others.

Manchester United does not inspire faith in their football prospects yet, and even the last win in an English Premier League match should not deceive much because it was achieved in the time added by the referee. On the other hand, the beauty of dual football matches in the Champions League is that if you win both of these matches, you can significantly adjust your tournament position and future tournament prospects and games with Copenhagen in the current situation is not the worst option for this. Another question is that the current Manchester United does not allow us to talk firmly about this because it can give out both a failed match and a completely successful one.

[klidex]

Harry Kane has scored 1 goal and 1 assist in the Champions League in 2 appearances, while Kane has also scored 8 goals and 4 assists in 7 appearances in the Bundesliga. I believe Kane et al will be difficult to stop and Tuchel's plan for that match is to win, but if Galatasaray manages to win points in that match then I believe they will have a good chance of qualifying for the last 16.

It's difficult for Galatasaray to get full points against Munich and I'm sure it's easy for Munich to beat Galatasaray, Kane and the Munich players now seem to have adapted quickly so we can see Kane perform very well in the domestic league and UCL, Munich will not share points with Galatasaray like Usually the full three points are Munich's main target to qualify for the next round.

Tuchel will of course prepare a mature strategy in facing Galatasaray later, even though Munich is playing as a guest, it will not stop Munich from winning the full three points and leading group A so that they remain safe in qualifying for the next round of 16. So far Munich has played very well so they seem to have a chance to win the UCL title this season if they perform consistently.

Bayern Munich is still the strongest candidate in the Champions League and in the domestic league and I am sure Bayern Munich will still qualify for the next round, Thomas Tuchel will try his best to make his men work optimally to win the match against Galatasaray and bring full points to lead group A.
I am sure that Bayern Munich will be able to appear impressive in this match, Galatasaray is not an easy opponent for Bayern Munich, especially since Galatasaray will be superior because they are playing at home, but I am sure that Galatasaray will have difficulty breaking down Bayern Munich's defense and so far Bayern Munich is still quite confident themselves to face quite difficult competition in the Champions League.

[tiCeR]

Now that they have turned around the game against Copenhagen and got their full three points, it is highly unlikely that they could still fail to pass the group stage in the Champions League. They haven't lost a single game in the group stage in years. The game against Galatasaray in Istanbul will not be easy and the game against Manchester United in Old Trafford will also be tough, but they don't feel the pressure anymore that they have to win every game from now on. They will be doing fine if they win their home games against Galatasaray and Copenhagen. That will do the job for them. But the goal will be to win the group of course as it raises their chances to avoid to play against a heavy weight in the round of 16.

I am with the prediction that Bayern Munich will top the group. When the group seeding was done many actually had a prediction of the top spot been between them and Manchester United but with the way United are playing they would only get second best in the group if they even qualify. The big threat to united will certainly be Galatasaray, they have been one of the hottest clubs in Europe this season and if Bayern can beat them in the two legs and United produce same result in the other game with Copenhagen then Bayern will have save them selves the top spot. And this is something I am speculating to happen except we see a very different Galatasaray.

You summarized it quite well and I think the threat from Galatasaray is bigger than some might think at the moment. The problem is not that Manchester United lost one game against Galatasaray, the problem is that they lost their home game against Galatasaray and for everybody who thinks that nothing is lost yet and Manchester United just has to show some quality and beat them in the game in Istanbul, those games are like hell with the Galatasaray fans backing their team. For Manchester United I think the game against Galatasaray will be no easier than the game against Bayern when they played in Munich. The atmosphere and then also the quality that Galatasaray has at the moment both makes me believe that Manchester United will not win that game. And if they don't win it I think they can't qualify for the next round in the Champions League.

before the group phase started, most of the people here said that Galatasaray would not be able to appear strong in the group phase and I also said that the team would not be able to compete with other european teams such as Man United etc. but the fact is that it is not as previously thought that Galatasaray can become a strong challenger to Bayern Munich because from group A the only ones who appear unbeaten are Munich and Galatasaray. this is very worrying if it can surprisingly shift Bayern Munich ranking even though it is impossible I always remember there are surprises in every match so I admit that Galatasaray cannot be underestimated if this team is one of the strong teams in Group A and Bayern Munich must be careful with this team.

Bayern Munich and Galatasaray won Manchester United, and the only club left is Copenhagen, which is completely out of the picture for anyone who underestimates any club at the moment because they have no comprehension of the fantastic performance that these teams will generate. The primary concern is, can Manchester United qualify from Group A after putting in so much effort and settling for less? I have enthusiasm for Manchester United since they are widely recognized for their capacity to turn things around in injury time, this is football were everything is possible to happen.

But so far this momentum of "this is football where everything is possible to happen" did not work in favor of Manchester United, but in favor of Galatasaray. When they won their game, I think that was a typical "everything is possible" moment. When Galatasaray saw the drawing of their group and they noticed Bayern Munich and Manchester United, I am quite sure that they were motivated but also grounded with their expectations. I am also sure that they thought they should do everything they can to win their home games, but instead they now have a win against Manchester United and still have their home game. I have big doubts that they will slip this momentum away from them. That is why I am convinced that Galatasaray will not lose the home game. I have no idea whether they can win twice against Manchester United, but depending on the odds I will consider betting on a win/draw combination for Galatasaray.

[rendravolt]

Shakhtar Donetsk will face Barcelona in the next match in Group H and I think their chances are still maintained if in the next match Shakhtar Donetsk can hold Barcelona to a draw. I know it is quite impossible to stop Barcelona with their current performance but it should also be known that Barcelona has now lost several important players due to injury such as Lewandowski, Jules Kounde and especially Gavi, it is likely that he will recover faster than other players because his injury is very light.

Shakhtar Donetsk can make good use of this, at least to put pressure on Barcelona even though this is an away match for them at Camp Nou. Shakhtar Donetsk's previous victory over Royal Antwerp could be a full motivation to be able to achieve a positive trend and perhaps the luck factor will play a very important role when facing Barcelona later.

[ancafe]

Yes, it is true that Bayern Munich this season is playing well and can maximize every game, unlike Manchester United, which is in a slump. although in the UEFA Champion League Bayern is ranked first, they have a tough rival, namely Galatasaray. in the upcoming match Bayern Munich will meet Galatasaray, of course this will be a fierce struggle for points for both teams.

Bayern Munich have the best players to perform optimally in every match but they must prepare everything to face Galatasaray later. Although Galatasaray is called a strong team this season but Bayern munich must be able to maximize the match later.

Galatasaray has good capital when they host Bayern Munich after winning at home to Manchester United and in the domestic league Galatasaray has also performed well so far. Bayern Munich must be aware of their front line if they don't want to lose in this match, playing in front of their own supporters makes things more convincing, where Galatasaray will definitely appear to press to get a quick goal.

The defense line is quite crucial in a match like this, especially since Bayern Munich is playing at home to Galatasaray as an away game. If Tuchel doesn't provide a solid defense then it is feared that they will concede more quickly and if that happens then Galatasaray will have greater enthusiasm to secure victory.

Yeah Bayern Munich will play with a bad defense since Neuer, Upamecano, De Ligt, and Guerreiro are injured, this will make Galatasaray able to score against Bayern Munich. It also depend on Bayern Munich striker, will they score more goals than Galatasaray or not.

Honestly I doubt Galatasaray can beat Bayern Munich, I think the biggest possibility would be draw.
