THE KEY STATS

- FC Copenhagen have lost only two of their last 12 UEFA club competition matches (W4 D6).
- Galatasaray have not failed to score in their last 12 UEFA club competition matches.
- Galatasaray are aiming to qualify from their Champions League group for the first time since the 2013/14 season.
- Galatasaray have scored 10 goals after five matches in the current Champions League group stage campaign. The most goals scored by a Turkish club in a UCL group is 11 (Beşiktaş 2017/18).
THE PREDICTION
It’s winner-takes-all in regards to knockout qualification between FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray in this final round of group stage fixtures. Whilst a draw could be enough for the hosts, they won’t want to take the chance that Man Utd won’t defeat Bayern Munich and leapfrog them as a result. With this is mind, expect both teams to take more risks offensively the longer this game goes on. Copenhagen’s gameplan could alter depending on the score at Old Trafford but crucially, they are a stronger defensive outfit than Galatasaray, as shown in Munich when they held Bayern to a 0-0 draw. Combine this with home advantage being in their favour and it’s well worth backing Copenhagen to triumph via the draw no bet market for extra security.
TIP: FC COPENHAGEN DRAW NO BET
