Galatasaray enters the match with a historical advantage at home, having lost only one of their last eight European encounters against English teams, winning 4 matches and drawing 3. They have also lost only 3 times in their last 18 European matches at home. However, the Turkish team has not achieved any victory in their last 7 European matches, drawing 4 and losing 3.

The team's striker Victor Osimhen needs just one goal to become the first Nigerian player to score 10 goals in the Champions League, currently tied with Obafemi Martins at 9 goals.

On the other hand, Liverpool struggles away against Turkish clubs, having won only one of their 6 European encounters, drawing one and losing 4, with the only victory being 2-1 against Trabzonspor in the Europa League in the 2010/2011 season.

However, the Reds have a strong record in the tournament recently, achieving 13 wins in their last 14 group stage matches. Additionally, Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is close to a historic record, needing just two more goals to reach 50 goals in the Champions League, making him the first African player to achieve this milestone after scoring 19 goals in his last 21 group stage matches.
