Manchester City are brimming with confidence following a 2-0 Premier League win over Wolverhampton and with several first-team regulars returning to the starting XI, we predict that they will defeat Galatasaray 3-1 in the final game of the Champions League league phase. The Citizens have a chance to secure a top-eight finish and with their expected goals at home sitting at 3.40, Home Win should definitely be considered. Key attacker Erling Haland is back to the starting XI, while whil midfielder Rodri missed out through suspension. Pep Guardiola, though, is surely capable of filing the gap.
Galatasaray, on the other hand, need one point to clinch their place in the Champions League playoffs, but they will have a mountain to climb in the blue part of Manchester. With the Turkish outfit scoring 2.25 goals per away game of late, a lively contest is on the cards at Etihad Stadium. However, their expected goals against away of 1.19 is a bit of a red flag. Both Singo andd Unyay are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
The two teams meet for the first time in the elite competition. Anyhow, the gap in quality is huge and Home Win seems like a sure bet. Alongside, Haaland to Score and Over 2.5 goals markets seem tempting.
This Champions League match will be played on Wednesday 28 January 2026 at 20:00.
