Tuesday’s Matchday 2 Champions League Best Bets: Manchester United vs. Galatasaray
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Manchester United (-230) vs. Galatasaray (+600), DRAW (+390) | 2.5 (-170/+135)
The afternoon slate features a Group A battle as Manchester United gears up to host Galatasaray. Kickoff is slated for 3:00 p.m. ET from Old Trafford in Manchester, England.
Things have not been going well in Manchester, really on any front. Erik ten Hag’s club is off to a 3-0-4 start in the Premier League and they also lost a 4-3 thriller at Allianz Arena against Bayern to open up UCL play. Since the road defeat to the German giant, United beat Burnley 1-0, defeated Crystal Palace 3-0 (Carabao Cup) and lost to Crystal Palace 1-0 in the PL this weekend.
Considering this underwhelming form, I must play the road underdogs plus a goal with a plus-money payout. Perhaps this is a "get right spot" for Manchester United, but it won’t be easy against this Turkish powerhouse. Galatasaray is 6-1-0 to start their Turkish Super League campaign and they’ve out-scored opponents 14-4. They’re also an unbeaten 11-3-0 over all competitions this season. So, you’re giving me a goal with a plus sign in front of the payout against this flatlining United side? Sign me up. Let’s ride with Galatasaray on the road.
Bet: Galatasaray +1.0 (+115)
