Copenhagen vs Galatasaray Prediction and Betting Tips

Copenhagen host Galatasaray at Parken on Tuesday (December 12) in their final group game of the UEFA Champions League.

The hosts have had a largely encouraging continental campaign and are close to reaching the knockouts following a goalless stalemate at group winners Bayern Munich.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the competition but are also in knockout contention. They drew 3-3 at home to a floundering Manchester United side last time. Hakim Ziyech and Kerem Akturkoglu strikes helped Cimbom Avrupa Fatihi cancel out a two-goal deficit in the second half.

Both sides have picked up five points from as many games, with the winner to join Bayern Munich in the last 16 unless Manchester United fail to beat Bayern.
