Champions League betting offer of the day
Pre-game odds and win probability: Liverpool are favourites at a ground they have never won

- Draw: 18/5 – 4.60 (17.9%)
- Liverpool: 13/20 – 1.65 (60.6%)
*Odds provided by Ladbrokes. Subject to change.*
Liverpool are firm favourites at 1.65, with the market giving them just over a 60% chance of winning. Galatasaray’s price of 4.33 suggests they are outsiders, but given their strong home form in Turkey, some may view it as attractive value for a potential upset.

Galatasaray preview: Vulnerabilities appear in Cimbom’s armour
Galatasaray have received good news, as Victor Osimhen is reported fit and expected to be available again. However, their defence has been exposed frequently, conceding 22 shots in a recent 1-0 league win over Alanyaspor, highlighting their vulnerabilities going into a high-level match.

Liverpool Preview: The Reds are hoping for an immediate response
Liverpool’s defence will have to cope without Giovanni Leoni, who suffered an ACL injury and will be out long-term. They have replaced him in their Champions League squad thanks to new UEFA rules. Their squad still retains quality, but will need to manage both depth and stability.
The Reds lost for the first time this season over the weekend, having a test of their own medicine as a stoppage-time goal from Eddie Nketiah condemned them to a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), Frimpong, Van Dijk, Konaté, Robertson, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Salah, Isak & Gakpo

Player to Watch: Hugo Ekitike
Ekitike is available again after missing the trip to Selhurst Park via a suspension for the red card he picked up for his celebration against Championship side Southampton in the EFL Cup.
The French striker already has five goal contributions this season – four goals and one assist – averaging a direct contribution every 89 minutes. He might make the difference on Tuesday as he looks to re-establish himself and win back Arne Slot’s full confidence.
