Galatasaray have opened up their Turkish Super Lig season in fine fashion, securing seven consecutive victories to open up a six-point advantage over Fenerbahce.

They did suffer a dismal 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in their first Champions League league phase match, however, to sit second-last in the table.

Liverpool finally lost their first game of the season as Crystal Palace scored a late winner to take all three points on Saturday.

The Reds defeated Atletico Madrid in their Champions League opener at Anfield courtesy of a late winner of their own.

Team news

The Turkish side have a clean bill of health ahead of this clash, which should give them a massive boost.

Striker Victor Osimhen returned from injury against Alanyaspor at the weekend and is in line for his first start since the end of August.

Elsewhere, recognisable faces such as Leroy Sane and IIkay Gundogan will likely start on Tuesday evening.

Liverpool will be missing defender Giovanni Leoni, who suffered a season-ending injury against Southampton in the EFL Cup.

Aside from that, Arne Slot has a full squad to choose from ahead of the tie in Istanbul.

The stats

Liverpool have played Gala on four occasions, but surprisingly,have won just once.

The two sides drew 1-1 and 0-0 in the Champions League during the 2001/02 season.

Four years later, the Anfield side won 3-2 in the group stages, before losing the return fixture by the same scoreline a few months later.

Slot's men have been known for their late goals this season, indeed, the Reds have scored seven goals from the 80th minute onwards this season.

In total, Liverpool have netted 19 goals across nine games, with both teams scoring in seven of those.

Gala have also been prolific this term, netting 20 goals in eight games. Three of their previous five games has seen both teams scoring.

The previous three games between these two clubs has also seen both teams finding the back of the net.

Prediction

Slot will still be smarting about Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League defeat to Palace at the weekend and will be keen on getting back to winning ways as soon as possible.

With Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak at his disposal, the Reds pose a significant attacking threat.

With 12 goals conceded, however, the defence remains an issue and this is something the home side can take full advantage of.

Having claimed an excellent 3-2 win over Atleti in their first European match of the season, Slot will be determined to seal another three points in Turkey.

The hosts will push them hard, but the Reds have the tools to edge this match by the narrowest of margins.
