Mario Lemina\u2019s early goal in the seventh minute proved decisive in Istanbul, giving the Turkish side a narrow but important advantage heading into the return match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool have produced famous European comebacks in the past, although they have only overturned a first-leg defeat twice in the Champions League knockout stages. Those successes came in memorable semi final ties against Chelsea in 2007 and Barcelona in 2019. Arne Slot\u2019s side head into the game in mixed form after a 1\u20131 Premier League draw with Tottenham, leaving them with three wins, one draw and two defeats from their last six matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite that inconsistency, Anfield remains a difficult place for visiting teams in Europe.

Galatasaray arrive with confidence after winning five of their previous six games and are aiming to reach the Champions League quarter finals for the first time since the 2012\u201313 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-liverpool-team-news\">Liverpool team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool face a number of absences for the second leg. Alexander Isak, Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley and Stefan Baj\u010deti\u0107 will not feature, and several other squad members are also ineligible to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-galatasaray-team-news\">Galatasaray team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Galatasaray will be missing key defender Davinson S\u00e1nchez due to suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last 6 Meetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Galatasaray have had the edge in recent meetings, winning both games this season without conceding. The Reds have yet to find the net against the Turkish side in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Competition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/03\/26<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Galatasaray 1-0 Liverpool<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Champions League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30\/09\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Galatasaray 1-0 Liverpool<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Champions League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool&#8217;s superior stats across attack and defence, combined with home advantage and Galatasaray&#8217;s recent discipline issues, point to a strong chance of the Reds taking all three points. Yet, with Galatasaray having frustrated Liverpool twice already this season, the question remains \u2014 can the hosts finally break their duck against the Turkish side? Our top pick is for both teams not to score at 11\/10 and for Virgil van Dijk to have Over 1.5 shots at 13\/8 with bet365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><small>Odds correct at the time of writing.
