Galatasaray and Liverpool will square off in a UEFA Champions League fixture on Tuesday (September 30th). The game will be played at Rams Park.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 away win over Alanyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig last Friday. Mauro Icardi broke the deadlock with a stylish flick midway through the first half and his goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Liverpool, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. They went behind to regular boogeyman Ismaila Sarr's ninth-minute opener, marking the Senegal international's fifth goal in eight games against the Reds. Substitute Federico Chiesa equalized in the 87th minute to raise hopes of another late turnaround. But injury time drama came at the other end, with Eddie Nketiah settling the contest with a smart finish in the seventh minute of injury time.

Galatasaray vs Liverpool Prediction
Galatasaray's thrashing by Frankfurt is their sole defeat in their last 19 games, with the other 18 games ending in victory. However, this does not tell the full story of the Istanbul outfit's European sojourn, as they have won just one of their last 18 UCL games (12 losses). They will relish the return of talisman Victor Osimhen who has recovered from the injury he sustained on international duty with Nigeria.
Liverpool travel to the Turkish capital, Istanbul, the venue of arguably their most famous European exploit. The Merseyside outfit will be looking to bounce back from their loss over the weekend. However, they have lost four of their last six trips to Turkey (one win).
Back the visitors to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Galatasaray 1-3 Liverpool
