Galatasaray have only lost one of their last nine home games against English clubs in all European competition (W5 D3), going down 1-4 to Arsenal in December 2014. They have already beaten Liverpool 1-0 at home in this season's competition.

Liverpool have won just one of five previous UEFA Champions League meetings with Galatasaray (D2 L2), a win rate of 20% - their joint-lowest against any side they have faced 5+ times in the competition (also 20% v Chelsea).

Liverpool have never won in three previous away games at Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League (D1 L2), only visiting Chelsea more times without ever winning in the competition (5).

Galatasaray have only lost two of their 22 home matches in the knockout stages of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (W13 D7), and are unbeaten in their last 10 (W6 D4) since a defeat to Atlético de Madrid in the first round in October 1973 (0-1).

Liverpool have lost four of their last five matches in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League (W1), although the one game they did avoid defeat in was Arne Slot’s only away match in the knockout stages in charge of the Reds: 1-0 at Paris SG in last season’s round of 16 (first leg).

In terms of starting XI average age, Galatasaray are the oldest side remaining in this season’s UEFA Champions League (28y 273d); overall, they rank 33rd out of the 36 teams in this edition, going from youngest to oldest. 

Dominik Szoboszlai has been directly involved in eight goals in the UEFA Champions League this term (4 goals, 4 assists), more than any other Liverpool player. The only central midfielder with more in a single edition for the Reds is Steven Gerrard, who notched 10 in 2007-08 (6 goals, 4 assists).

Victor Osimhen has scored seven goals in eight UEFA Champions League appearances for Galatasaray this season; just one goal shy of the most ever for a Turkish team in a single edition, which was also a Galatasaray player (8 - Burak Yilmaz in 2012-13).

Mohamed Salah could overtake Jamie Carragher to become Liverpool’s record appearance maker in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (both currently on 80 games). The Egyptian is also just one goal away from becoming the first African player to reach 50 in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (currently on 49).

83% of Hugo Ekitiké’s touches in the UEFA Champions League have come while under high-intensity pressure from an opponent; the highest percentage of any player in this edition (min. 90 minutes played).
