- Germans have won 15 consecutive Champions League group stage games
- Galatasaray won at Manchester United last time out
Bayern Munich's imperious Champions League group stage form has continued at the start of 2023/24, but a challenge well away from the comfort of Bavaria greets them on Tuesday.
Thomas Tuchel's side were forced to come from behind to beat Copenhagen on Matchday 2 after opening their account with a 4-3 win over Manchester United. Their next two games see them take on a Galatasaray side that won at Old Trafford last time out and haven't tasted defeat all season.
Bayern first visit Istanbul before welcoming the Turkish Super Lig champions to Munich in two weeks time.
Here's 90min's preview of Bayern's upcoming duel as they attempt to extend their unbeaten run in Champions League group stage games to 37.

Galatasaray vs Bayern Munich score prediction
Bayern have won 15 Champions League group stage games on the spin, but their thin squad means they've got their work cut out if they're to extend that run to 16 on Tuesday.
Galatasaray, buoyed by a raucous fanbase in Istanbul, will be confident of upsetting the odds and bringing the Germans' imperious run to an end. They've got the attacking talent to compromise Bayern's aggressive defensive line, and while the visitors were somewhat impressive at Mainz on Saturday, complete performances have come few and far between.
There should be goals at both ends on Tuesday, with the spoils being shared.
Prediction: Galatasaray 2-2 Bayern Munich
