Galatasaray Recent Form: Last 5
Key Factors
xG Regression: Liverpool has underperformed their xG significantly in the last three matches (avg 2.03 xG for only 1.0 goals), suggesting a clinical 'burst' is imminent at Anfield.
Defensive Void: Galatasaray will be without key defender Davinson Sanchez (suspension), severely weakening their ability to maintain the low block that stifled Liverpool in the first leg.
Anfield Factor & Salah's Milestone: Mohamed Salah is one goal away from 50 Champions League goals; combined with Liverpool's historical 78% win rate in home knockout second legs, the psychological advantage is immense.
Injuries & Absentees
Liverpool is missing Alisson Becker (Mamardashvili starts) and striker Alexander Isak, forcing a reliance on Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nuñez. However, the most critical absence is Galatasaray's Davinson Sanchez. His replacement lacks the same recovery speed, which is a major vulnerability against Liverpool's high-pressing 4-2-4 system. Federico Chiesa remains a late fitness test (illness).
