Galatasaray vs Liverpool

Liverpool remain winless in all six of their away games against Turkish clubs in major UEFA competitions (D1 L5), the only nation whose sides the Reds have had 3+ away games against in major European competition without ever winning.

Galatasaray kept their first clean sheet in their last 24 matches in all European competition, and first since a 1-0 UEFA Champions League qualifying win over Olimpija Ljubljana in August 2023.

Liverpool have lost five of their last eight away games in all competitions (W3), as many as their previous 34 beforehand (W21 D8 L5).

Galatasaray and Liverpool will meet for a fifth time in European competition, with both sides managing one victory apiece across the previous four (D2). This will be their first game against each other since a 3-2 win for Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League in December 2006.

Liverpool are winless in their previous two away trips to face Galatasaray, 1-1 in February 2002 and losing 3-2 in December 2006. The only teams they’ve faced away from home more often in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League without winning are Chelsea (5 – D3 L2) and Napoli (3 – L3).

Galatasaray are unbeaten in their last three games against English opponents in European competition (W2 D1), with wins over Manchester United (3-2) and Tottenham (3-2) in the UEFA Europa League in the last two campaigns. This is as many victories as they managed in the previous 12 combined (W2 D5 L5).

Liverpool have won 13 of their last 14 matches in the group/league phase of the UEFA Champions League (L1), while the last team to keep a clean sheet against the Reds in a non-knockout stage game in the competition was Atalanta in November 2020 (scored 56 goals in 23 such matches since then).

Galatasaray have only won one of their last 18 games in the UEFA Champions League (D5 L12), while they lost their opening game in the competition this season by four goals (1-5 v Eintracht Frankfurt). They haven’t lost their first two games in a UEFA Champions League campaign since 2012-13.
