Liverpool vs Galatasaray Prediction
Liverpool Form
In has been a bit of everything for Liverpool in their previous three matches, where they first beat Wolverhampton by 1-3. This was followed by a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Galatasaray, before an encounter with Tottenham produced a 1-1 draw. Liverpool managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Champions League. They drew none though, while losing twice in this series. They scored 14 goals and conceded 12 times.
Galatasaray Form
Galatasaray are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Besiktas got left behind in a 0-1 win, before Liverpool got hammered in a 1-0 victory. Istanbul Basaksehir was the most recent victim in a 3-0 win for Galatasaray. Galatasaray managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Champions League. On top of winning once they also drew zero as well as losing five, while scoring 12 time and letting in six.
We fully expect Liverpool to claim a win against Galatasaray, but we believe the visitors have enough resistance in them to minimize the expected defeat.
