Liverpool's Champions League campaign continues on Tuesday against Galatasaray, with RAMS Park the staging ground for the first leg of their round of 16 tie.

The Reds are sixth in the Premier League, but they will take confidence from their third-placed finish in the Champions League's league phase, though their hosts already won 1-0 against the Merseysiders in September 2025 and will be challenging opponents.

Head-to-head:

• Galatasaray won two of the five UEFA Champions League meetings between the two teams.

• Liverpool recorded just one victory.

• The remaining two clashes ended in draws.

• Galatasaray scored seven goals, while Liverpool hit the back of the net six times.

• Galatasaray are on a three-match winning streak.

• Liverpool have won four of their last five games.

• Two of the last five meetings between these clubs have ended in a draw.

Form:

• Galatasaray in the Champions League: L-D-L-W-L

• Galatasaray in all competitions: L-L-W-W-W

• Liverpool in the Champions League: W-L-W-W-W

• Liverpool in all competitions: W-W-W-L-W

Team News:

• Galatasaray will miss out on the services of Enes Buyuk due to his injury and Metehan Bataci because of his suspension.

• Alexander Isak, Wataru Endo, Stefan Bajcetic, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley are not going to be in action for Liverpool. They are injured.

Player(s) to watch:

• Victor Osimhen is going to be one of the important players in the attacking front for Galatasaray. In eight UEFA Champions League matches of the ongoing season, he has scored seven goals and will be looking to add more to his tally. The 27-year-old is in decent form and is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

• Mohamed Salah has now scored in back-to-back matches for Liverpool FC and will be looking to keep his goal-scoring run going. Even though he has not been in his top form this season, the 33-year-old will be a crucial part for the Reds in the final third. He will lead the attack from the right and will surely create problems for the hosts.
