Match Preview
Liverpool face a must-win Champions League night at Anfield, trailing 1-0 from the first leg after Mario Lemina's early header stunned them in Istanbul. The Reds' recent form is concerning — just one win in four — and a flat 1-1 draw with Tottenham at the weekend did little to settle nerves.
Galatasaray arrive riding a five-game winning streak, sitting seven points clear atop the Turkish Süper Lig. Victor Osimhen has been lethal with seven Champions League goals this season. Liverpool will be without Conor Bradley and Wataru Endo, while Joe Gomez is a doubt — but the visitors lose suspended centre-back Davinson Sánchez.
History favours the hosts — Galatasaray have never won at Anfield. Expect Mohamed Salah and Florian Wirtz to thrive under the European lights, but Osimhen will make it uncomfortable. Our prediction: 2-1 — Liverpool to scrape through after extra time.
