Basaksehir FK vs. Manchester United 11/4/20 UEFA Champions League Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Basaksehir FK is hosting Manchester United at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium in round 3 in the UEFA Champions League.

Basaksehir is the weakest team in this group, and they have lost both of their games so far. Basaksehir has conceded 4 goals in the Champions League while still being without a scored goal. In the Turkish Super Lig, Basaksehir has won their last 3 games, and they are in 7th place with 10 points, 9 scored goals, and 8 conceded goals. In their last Champions League game against PSG at home, Basaksehir has had 46% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 83% of the correct passes. Basaksehir was defending well in this game, but they ended up conceding 2 goals in the second half, and they lost this game 0-2. There is still hope that Basaksehir will end up in a third place that will take them to the Europa League, but they would need to change their game drastically, especially in the attacking end. Caicara, Sengezer, Chadli, Tekdemir, Crivelli, and Skrtel are all injured, and they will not be in the lineup for this game. Basaksehir is still not playing well, but they will be one of the best competitors in the Super Lig, but as far as the Champions League goes, Basaksehir will stay in the last place.

Manchester United is an interesting team this season. United is still without a win at home in the EPL, and their latest loss came against Arsenal this past weekend. United was just sloppy and slow in that game, and they ended up losing this match 0-1. In the Champions League, United has been a completely different team, and they have won both of their games. United has scored 7 goals while conceding only 1 goal, and they are in first place of their group. In their last Champions League game, Unite was hosting Leipzig, and they have had 47% of ball possession, 8 shots on goal, 2 corner kicks, 6 big chances created, and a solid 83% of the correct passes. Leipzig’s defense hasn’t been playing well in this game, and United has been incredibly effective. Manchester United has scored won this match 5-0. Marcus Rashford has scored 4 goals for United so far in the Champions League, while Martial, Fernandes, and Greenwood each added 1 goal. Alex Telles is the only injured player for United as of right now. United has been playing much better soccer on the road this season, and they have been good in the Champions League, and I don’t see a reason why that wouldn’t continue.

Basaksehir and United have never played against each other in the past. Basaksehir is playing solid soccer in the Super Lig, and they have had a decent game against PSG last week, but United is the better team here, and if they can’t beat Basaksehir, they shouldn’t even be here. I will side with Manchester United on the road.
