Galatasaray vs. Bayern Munich Betting Tips: Best bets for Champions League clash

Matchday 3 takes place in the Champions League across Tuesday and Wednesday with Bayern Munich making the trip to Turkey to take on Galatasaray. The game kicks-off at 5:45pm BST on Tuesday and below we’ve previewed the action and provided you with our best bets.
Galatasaray are unbeaten in the Champions League group stage so far after a 2-2 draw with FC Copenhagen on Matchday 1, before a memorable 3-2 win at Old Trafford against Manchester United three weeks ago. It has been a superb start to the campaign for Okan Buruk’s side who now boast a remarkable 23-game unbeaten run across all competitions.
Bayern are also unbeaten so far in Group A after collecting maximum points from their two matches. The Bavarians saw off Manchester United 4-3 in their opening game of the latest campaign before coming from behind to beat FC Copenhagen 2-1 at the start of the month. Bayern have not lost any of their last 36 Champions League group stage games, the longest unbeaten run of its kind in the competition's history.
Galatasaray vs Bayern Tips
You have to go all the way back to 2017 for the last time that Bayern Munich lost a Champions League group stage game and we are backing them to get the win on Tuesday. The visitors are priced as short as 4/11 with some firms to collect the three points, however we’ll be opting for Bayern to win with both teams scoring, which is chalked up at a much more backable 8/5.
There is no denying the quality that they possess in attack, with Harry Kane, Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala and Kingsley Coman and Thomas Tuchel’s side have not tasted defeat this season since their Super Cup loss to RB Leipzig in August.
Bayern are averaging 3.1 goals per game across their last eight in all competitions but they face a Galatasaray side who have scored multiple goals in 11 of their last 12. The Turkish outfit have taken 25 points from a possible 27 in their domestic league this term and if it were not for Fenerbache setting records with a perfect nine from nine, Galatasaray would be top of the pile. Four of Bayern’s last six away victories have featured both teams scoring and a goal-laden affair could be on the cards here.
At 11/2 we’ve also taken a punt on both Harry Kane and Mauro Icardi to score with bet365. Since swapping London for Munich, Kane has scored nine Bundesliga goals in just eight matches and has one in this competition having scored from the spot against Manchester United. Galatasaray have conceded twice in both of their European outings so far this term and will struggle to shut out Kane and co in their toughest test so far this season.
Mauro Icardi scored 22 goals in 25 appearances in the Turkish top-flight last season and has started this latest campaign in scintillating fashion, having bagged 10 goals in his first eight starts! The Argentine is averaging a whopping 4.4 shots per game in 2023/24 and with Bayern missing Dayot Upamecano, Leon Goretzka and Manuel Neuer, he can make the net ripple to bring home this 11/2 double.
