UEFA Champions League Matchday 4: Manchester United Vs Istanbul Basaksehir Match Preview And Prediction.
Manchester United got their first Premier League home win this season against West Bromwich Albion, following two draws and two defeats at Old Trafford. They have only managed to pick up 13 points from a possible 24 in the League this term, so it is hardly surprising that they are sitting in mid-table.
Istanbul Basaksehir have enjoyed a total of 4 straight victories in the Turkish Super Lig, but suffered a 3-2 defeat on Saturday against Besiktas. They are already 7 points behing the League leaders Fenerbahce, so it will be difficult for Istanbul Basaksehir to defend their title this season.
Manchester United come into this clash on the back of a narrow 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Saturday, making it their first win at home in the League this season, but it has been a complete different story on the European stage. They beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 on matchday 1 before thrashing RB Leipzig 5-0 a week later.
Istanbul Basaksehir will be brimming with confidence following their last encounter with Manchester United, after losing 2-0 against Leipzig in matchday 1 and 2-0 against Paris Saint-Germain, Istanbul Basaksehir now have some points in the Group Stage.
Manchester United are currently without Jesse Lingard, Eric Bailly, Luke Shaw and Phil Jones. Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood will be assessed before Tuesday.
Istanbul Basaksehir could be without Muhammed Sengezer and Junior Caicara due to injury. Meart Gunok and Daniel Aleksic could be sidelined due to Coronavirus complications.
