Liverpool vs Galatasaray Prediction & Tips
It was another difficult week for Liverpool, who, following their first-leg defeat, drew 1-1 at home against Tottenham, a team fighting to avoid relegation. Sunday’s goal scorer, Dominik Szoboszlai, urged his teammates to “wake up,” and Arne Slot’s team does not appear to be in the best shape to reach the UCL quarterfinals for the first time since the 2021/22 season. History is not on their side, as Liverpool has lost 11 of its last 16 European two-legged ties in which it started with an away defeat, but the “Reds” have won 15 of their last 19 European home games (D4), thus remaining favorites to advance.
Galatasaray has already managed to eliminate a big name this UCL season, after beating Juventus 7-5 on aggregate in the knockout playoff, and another win here would secure their first quarterfinal berth since 2012/13. The Turkish giant has advanced in 14 of its previous 17 European two-legged ties following a home win in the first leg, and their five consecutive wins across all competitions—the last three without conceding a goal—give them a huge boost of confidence. However, with just one win in their last 14 European away games (3 draws, 10 losses), the visitors cannot afford to take this match lightly.
