It is certainly a bigger game for the home side than it is the away team, but United will be coming here with all three points on their minds and nothing else. Momentum is massive in this competition and Sir Alex Ferguson’s men do need to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat at Norwich last weekend.
Ferguson may change his team around slightly as of course he has the luxury of being able to rest key players, but he will be looking to win this one and put in a good defensive display as well.
The Red Devils have a squad that can come out on top here – but they do need to be at their best as their opponents will be desperate for a win.
Robin Van Persie, Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney will all sit out the trip meaning Sir Alex will be once again looking to blood his youngsters, with Nick Powell, Tom Thorpe and Ryan Tunnicliffe all looking to feature.
The odds of 11/4 on the away win tell the story as to the group situation and it would take a patriotic punter top jump on the Red Devils at that price.
Galatasaray could put themselves in a super position to qualify for the final 16 if they take all three points here. They do come into this one on the back of a defeat in the Turkish top flight though, which is far from ideal preparation.
Players such as Emmanuel Eboue and Milan Baros know just what playing Manchester United is all about at their spell in the Premier League, so they could be key men in this one.
If the hosts can get their home crowd behind them, then they can certainly take all three points in this encounter as the 11/10 on the home win looks more than a touch of value, considering the intimitating atmosphere of the Türk Telekom Arena.
It looks like being a very entraining encounter with plenty at stake. Kick-off is at 7.45PM on Tuesday night.
