Galatasaray travels to Liverpool this evening, aiming to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in over ten years.
The Turkish Süper Lig champions hold a 1-0 lead but will face challenges, given their weak track record in England.
Galatasaray has managed only one win in their 12 away matches against English teams in all competitions, suffering eight losses. Their only victory was a narrow 3-2 win at Manchester United in October 2023. However, they have defeated Liverpool three times in their last encounters, all in Istanbul.
Galatasaray team news
Manager Okan Buruk rested several players for the 3-0 win over İstanbul Başakşehir, including Mario Lemina, who is expected to return to the lineup at Anfield.
The Turkish side will be without Davinson Sanchez due to suspension, which may lead Wilfried Singo to move to centre-back alongside Abdulkerim Bardakci. Rolland Sallai, who plays with Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez on the national team, could start at right-back.
Victor Osimhen will lead the attack, having scored seven goals in the Champions League this season. He has also set a record for the most goal involvements by a Nigerian player in a single UCL campaign with eight.
Galatasaray predicted lineup
Galatasaray predicted XI: Cakir; Sallai, Singo, Bardakci, Jakobs; Torreira, Lemina; Yilmaz, Sara, Lang; Osimhen.
When will the match kick off?
The Champions League match is set to take place at Anfield on Wednesday, 18 March 2026, with kick-off at 20:00 GMT.
