Liverpool are set to travel to Galatasaray on Tuesday for the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.

Arne Slot’s side bounced back from their shock Premier League defeat to Wolves last week to progress into the next round of the FA Cup on Friday.

As a result, confidence will likely be high amongst the Reds’ squad as they travel to Turkey to continue their Champions League journey.

Galatasaray previously knocked out Juventus in the playoff round to reach this stage; therefore, the visitors will have to be at their best to win in this mouthwatering Liverpool showdown.

Liverpool’s record vs Galatasaray explained

Football Insider exclusively revealed that Liverpool could lose several top stars if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. Therefore, winning the competition could be a simple route to ensuring their participation in the next campaign.

However, their progression into the quarter-finals may be trickier than first thought.

Liverpool have a terrible record against Galatasaray, winning just one of their five meetings.

This includes a 1-0 defeat earlier this campaign at RAMS Park in the league stage, where Victor Osimhen netted the only goal of the game from the penalty spot.

In fact, the Reds have lost their last two meetings against the Turkish side, with the other coming in the group stages of the 2006-07 season.

Therefore, Liverpool will have to overcome their poor record if they want to progress further into the competition this season.
