Champions League Betting Preview: Galatasaray vs Liverpool

Turkish Super Lig leaders Galatasaray host Premier League outfit Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie at Rams Global Stadyumu, with kick-off set for 13:45 on Tuesday 10 March.

Expect a Tight Affair

We are expecting a close battle and with the odds favouring Liverpool, we will side with the home team at +0.75 on the Asian Handicap. This means half our stake back if Galatasaray lose by one goal and a full win at -112 should they draw or win the game.

Gala are top of the Turkish league, have five straight home wins in all competitions and impressed when they beat Juventus 5-2 at home in the play-off stage. Gala also beat Liverpool 1-0 at home in the league phase.

Liverpool lost to bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton in their last league game and currently sit sixth in the Premier League, looking far less impressive than last season when they won the title.

Gala Eliminated Juventus

Galatasaray won their last game, recording a 1-0 derby victory away to Besiktas at Tupras Stadyumu in the Super Lig. Gala had 40% of possession and four shots on target, with Victor Osimhen netting the winner in the 39th minute.

Liverpool triumphed in their previous game. It was away from home in the FA Cup where Wolverhampton Wanderers were beaten 3-1 at Molineux Stadium. Arne Slot's side racked up nine shots on goal and enjoyed 67% possession, while Andrew Robertson, Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones were on the scoresheet.

In their last Champions League outings, Gala advanced to the round of 16 after scoring two extra-time goals away to Juventus in the second leg of their play-off tie (0-3 after 90 minutes and 7-5 on aggregate), while Liverpool recorded a 6-0 home win over Azerbaijan Premier League side Qarabag in the league phase.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Gala overcame Liverpool at home when the teams last met, winning 1-0 at Rams Global Stadyumu in September.
