Bayern Munich will be looking to maintain their 100% record in the UEFA Champions League this season when they host Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray on Wednesday.
Under Julian Nagelsmann, Bayern progressed through the group stage of the Champions League with ease in each of the last two seasons. The Reds finished the group stage with a 100% record in all two seasons and are keen to continue that record this season under Thomas Tuchel. The German outfit sits top of Group A having managed three wins from the three games played so far.
For Galatasaray this is their first appearance in the Champions League group stage since 2019/20. Okan Buruk's side return may not have been as good as they would have liked but being second in a group with Bayern, Man United and Copenhagen is surely giving their fans joy right now.
FC Bayern Munich vs Galatasaray Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Bayern once again showed how good they are in the final third in Der Klassiker, scoring three or more goals for the fifth time in their last six games. The Reds did not concede a goal in this game but that was largely down to Dortmund being toothless in the final third.
Thomas Tuchel's men have also struggled to keep clean sheets in recent European games. The Bavarians are without a clean sheet in each of their last five games in the Champions League. Both teams scored in each of the last four fixtures.
Galatasaray are not the best goal-scoring side in the Süper Lig at the moment, but the Yellow and Reds rarely fail to score. Indeed, the visitors scored at least once in each of their last sixteen matches in all competitions. They also have a good scoring record away from home in Europe, having scored in each of their last four away games.

Bayern Munich team news
Bayern Munich will be able to use the services of Joshua Kimmich after the midfielder missed Der Klassiker due to a red card suspension.
The return of the 28-year-old means Leon Goretzka could start Tuesday’s game on the bench, but Thomas Tuchel is not expected to make any other changes to his starting eleven.
On the injury front, Bayern will be without Matthijs de Ligt (knee), Tom Hülsmann (hamstring) and Tarek Buchmann (muscle).
