"Liverpool head to Galatasaray tonight looking to avenge their 1-0 defeat in the league phase and claim a first-leg result that will put them in a strong position for next week's return at Anfield. Victor Osimhen's penalty separated the sides at RAMS Park in September and the Nigeria striker will again be the man to watch for the home side, who sit top of the Turkish Super Lig."
"Liverpool have won five of their last six games in all competitions, with the only blip being the 2-1 Premier League reverse at Wolves last week. The visitors do have an issue in goal with regular number one Alisson injured. Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili will deputise."
"Galatasaray have only lost one of their last nine home games against English clubs in all European competition. Galatasaray have only lost two of their 22 home matches in the knockout stages of the European Cup/Champions League. Liverpool have never won in three previous away games at Galatasaray in the Champions League."
Liverpool travel to Galatasaray for a Champions League fixture aiming to reverse their earlier 1-0 league phase loss and secure a favorable first-leg result before the return match at Anfield. Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker who scored the penalty in their previous meeting, remains Galatasaray's primary attacking threat. The Turkish side currently leads their domestic league. Liverpool arrive in strong form, winning five of their last six matches across all competitions, though they suffered a 2-1 Premier League defeat to Wolves recently. A significant concern for Liverpool is the absence of goalkeeper Alisson through injury, with Georgian replacement Giorgi Mamardashvili set to start. The match kicks off at 5:45pm UK time.
