The second leg of the Champions League last 16 sees Liverpool aiming to overturn a 1–0 first-leg deficit against Galatasaray at Anfield. As Galatasaray travel to England without key defender, we predict a 3-1 home win. Arne Slot welcomes major boosts, with both Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike returning to the starting XI after coming off the bench in the 1–1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool’s home numbers suggest they can turn the tie around: they average 4.00 goals per home match, 2.80 goals scored, and produce 1.75 xG at Anfield.
Galatasaray travel without important centre-back Davinson Sanchez, a significant blow considering Liverpool’s attacking firepower. Even so, the Turkish champions arrive in excellent form—five straight wins, 80% win rate overall, and an impressive 2.50 goals scored per game. However, their away defensive metrics raise concerns: they concede 1.20 goals and allow 1.89 xGA on the road.
Given Liverpool's strong home stats and the return of key players, Home Win seems like a sure bet, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals (Liverpool home games average 4.00 goals; Galatasaray overall 3.50) and Mohamed Salah to Score.
This Champions League match will be played on Wednesday 18 March 2026 at 20:00.
