Manchester United must defeat Bayern Munich and hope the other game in Group A goes in their favour if they are to reach the Champions League knockout phase.
Having already booked their place in the last 16, Bayern Munich visit Old Trafford on Tuesday, with Man Utd trailing Galatasaray and Copenhagen by one point.
Not only do Erik ten Hag’s side need to beat Bayern, but they also need Galatasaray and Copenhagen to draw at Parken.
Manchester United head into Tuesday’s showdown on the back of a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, who made the most of their chances at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The Red Devils have now lost two of their last three Premier League matches, with five defeats coming in their previous 10 outings across all competitions.
In truth, Man Utd have endured a hugely disappointing Champions League campaign up to now, recording one win, one draw and three losses.
To make matters worse, United have conceded a whopping 14 goals in five UCL encounters (2.8 goals per game), meaning only Antwerp have a poorer defensive record.
Funnily enough, Bayern Munich also experienced a heavy defeat last time out, suffering a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt.
Still, Bayern have won four of their last six matches across all competitions, with nine victories coming in their previous 12 clashes.
In the Champions League, Thomas Tuchel’s men have picked up four wins and one draw, taking 13 points from a possible 15 to take control of Group A.
Although Bayern have scored 11 goals in five UCL outings (2.2 goals per game), they netted one goal fewer than Man Utd this term.
Head-to-head: Bayern Munich claimed a wild 4-3 victory over Manchester United in the reverse fixture back in September.
As a result, the Red Devils have won only two of their 12 meetings with Bayern, including the 1999 Champions League final.
Team news: Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount and Victor Lindelof are all currently injured for the hosts.
On the flip side, Bayern Munich’s injury list contains Tarek Buchmann, Gabriel Marusic, Bouna Sarr and Matthijs de Ligt.
Although the Red Devils pushed Bayern all the way in the reverse fixture, the hosts will struggle to overcome the visitors this time around.
Forebet predicts that Bayern Munich will register a narrow victory at Old Trafford, eliminating Manchester United from the Champions League.
