• Manchester United have won their last nine away games in all competitions, keeping a clean sheet in six.
• Istanbul Basaksehir have failed to score in six of their nine competitive matches this season.
• The hosts have lost 2-0 on five occasions this season, including both Champions League group matches.

Red Devils to stake claim to the top spot

Istanbul Basaksehir were always the underdogs coming into this incredibly tough Champions League group, and they are yet to spring any surprises to upset the apple cart.

They have lost both their opening two group games by 2-0 scorelines, and on Wednesday they come up against a Manchester United side that have found a new gear in the Champions League.

The Red Devils have won their opening two matches against last year’s finalists PSG and the talented RB Leipzig, and a third win on the trot would really help to stamp their authority on this group.

Admittedly the visitors haven’t exactly been in fine form domestically, but away from home they have won nine on the trot in all competitions and have won to nil in six of those. With Basaksehir failing to score in each of their two group games so far, as well as in six of their nine competitive games this season, backing Manchester United to win to nil looks a good choice.

We’re also opting for a third consecutive 2-0 defeat for the Turkish side for our correct score prediction. They have lost 2-0 on five occasions this season and Manchester United have scored at least two goals in each of their last nine away matches.
