Galatasaray vs Liverpool: probable lineups and all the key info for this clash

Europe Today at 02:49

The atmosphere promises to be electrifying in Istanbul. On Tuesday night, RAMS Park will set the stage for a prestigious showdown between Victor Osimhen’s Galatasaray and Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool, as part of Matchday 2 of the Champions League.

An already decisive match for Galatasaray

The Yellow and Reds got off to a rough start in their European campaign. Heavily beaten (5-1) in Frankfurt on the opening day, they can no longer afford to slip up. In front of their home fans, Okan Buruk’s side hope to bounce back against the reigning English champions. They’ll be boosted by the much-anticipated return of their star striker: Victor Osimhen.

Liverpool out to confirm their form

On the other hand, Liverpool hit the ground running. Arne Slot’s Reds claimed a 3-2 win over Atlético Madrid. With five wins from six Premier League matches, they arrive full of confidence. Their objective is clear: leave Istanbul with all three points to stay top of the group. If Mohamed Salah finds his rhythm, the night could become much easier for the Reds, who are eager to move past last weekend’s first Premier League defeat.

History and the numbers

Galatasaray have already played 329 European matches: 116 wins, 124 defeats, and 89 draws.
Against English clubs, the record is much tougher: just 5 wins in 24 matches.
Their most recent European victory came last season, against Tottenham.
