1X2 Betting Odds
| Galatasaray (1) | X | Liverpool (2) |
| 3/1 | 8/3 | 11/15 |
In the 1X2 football betting market, you can back one out of three possible results:
- 1: Home win (Galatasaray)
- X: Draw
- 2: Away win (Liverpool)
Let’s take a look at the Galatasaray vs Liverpool betting odds in the 1X2 market: Galatasaray has 3/1 odds for a win, Liverpool has 11/15 odds, and a draw has 8/3 odds. This means that for every pound you bet on Galatasaray, you’ll win £3 in profit if they win. Similarly, you win £11 for every £15 for correctly predicting Liverpool’s win, and £8 for every £3 for predicting a draw. Your stake (betting amount) is also returned if your bet is successful.
So, how to determine which team to bet on? Start by looking at whether a team’s odds are long or short. Bets that pay a low return are said to have short odds, and bets that give better returns are said to have long odds. However, bettors should note that even though short odds pay less, they have a higher chance of winning. On the other hand, bets with long odds have a low chance of success.
Upon simplifying the fractions for this market, you’ll observe that bets on Liverpool pay less. That means they can be considered the favourites in this fixture. However, this does not mean fans should not bet on the Turkish team. Galatasaray won their last head-to-head match against the English team. So, carefully analyse both teams’ form before picking your choice in this market.
Double Chance Odds
| Galatasaray or Draw | Galatasaray or Liverpool | Draw or Liverpool |
| 8/9 | 3/13 | 2/9 |
The Double Chance market increases your chances of winning by covering two outcomes in a single bet:
- Galatasaray or Draw (1X): Loses if Liverpool wins.
- Galatasaray or Liverpool (12): Loses if the match draws.
- Draw or Liverpool (X2): It loses if the Turkish team wins.
This market is useful if you are unsure which team to back or if both teams appear to be evenly matched. However, the tradeoff is that your potential profit is lower as your chance of winning is higher in this market.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Galatasaray (+0.75) | Liverpool (-0.75) |
| 10/13 | 10/11 |
| Galatasaray (+1.75) | Liverpool (-1.75) |
| 2/7 | 12/5 |
| Galatasaray (-0.75) | Liverpool (+0.75) |
| 15/4 | 2/13 |
Choose a handicap bet to give an advantage to your favourite team. For example, you believe that Liverpool has an edge, but you want to bet on Galatasaray. Choose a handicap to give an advantage to the Turkish team. A +1 handicap means one point will be added to Galatasaray’s final goal tally and deducted from the Reds. So, a final score of 0–1 will be adjusted as 1–0.
Your bet wins or loses depending on the adjusted final score and the goal margin. Here’s how it works:
- Galatasaray (+0.75)/ Liverpool (-0.75): Bets on the Turkish team win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal, as a score of 1–2 will be calculated as 1.75–1.25. Liverpool will need to win with a two-goal margin to overcome the gap (0–2 becomes 0.75–1.25).
- Galatasaray (+1.75) / Liverpool (-1.75): Bets on Galatasaray win if they win, draw, or lose by a three-goal margin. A score of 0–3 will be adjusted to 1.75–1.25, giving a win to Galatasaray. Liverpool will be able to overcome the gap with a four-goal win margin (0–4 becomes 1.75–2.25).
- Galatasaray (-0.75) / Liverpool (+0.75): This is the opposite scenario, where Liverpool gets an advantage. Bets on the English team win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal (1–0 becomes 0.25–0.75). Galatasaray will need to win the match with at least a two-goal margin to overcome the gap.
Wider handicaps will give you a better chance of winning. However, the wider the handicap, the shorter your odds will be.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
| Yes | No |
| 13/25 | 11/8 |
The Both Teams to Score (BTTS) market considers whether both teams will score at least one goal in the match. You can bet on one of these two outcomes:
- BTTS Yes: Wins if both teams score at least once. The minimum score should be at least 1–1 for this bet.
- BTTS No: Wins if either or both teams fail to score. It could be a 0–0 draw, or one team scores while the other doesn’t, like 0–1, 2–0, etc.
Consider the clean sheet records when looking at the Galatasaray vs Liverpool odds in the BTTS market. A clean sheet is when the team’s defense is strong, and the opposition team fails to score any goals. Liverpool kept five clean sheets in their last 10 matches, and Galatasaray kept two. Use this data to minimize risk.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 5/4 | 4/7 |
Predict whether the total goals scored in Tuesday’s match will be over or under your chosen number. For this fixture, the betting line is set at 3.5 goals. So, if the final score is 1–2, the combined total becomes three, and Under 3.5 bets win.
Here’s how you can pick:
- Over 3.5 Goals: Select this if you believe we will see four or more goals in the match. Scores like 2–2, 1–3, or 0–4 win this bet.
- Under 3.5 Goals: This market is useful if you think it will be a slow match with very few goals. Any total under three, like 0–2, 0–0, 1–0, 1–1, wins in this bet.
Consider the Galatasaray vs Liverpool odds in this market after checking both teams’ recent scoring history. Liverpool averaged 2.7 goals per match in their last 10 fixtures, and Galatasaray averaged 2.8. This brings their combined average total to 5.5, which is well over the 3.5 betting line.
Correct Score Odds
| Correct Score | Galatasaray vs Liverpool Odds |
| 0–0 | 17/1 |
| 1–0 | 16/1 |
| 1–1 | 13/2 |
| 0–1 | 10/1 |
| 2–0 | 25/1 |
| 0–2 | 10/1 |
| 2–2 | 11/1 |
Predict the precise score in this market by selecting any combination of the final score between zero and +5. The correct score market always has long odds because of the risk involved. However, it is better to play it safe and bet only small amounts here, as predicting a precise score is difficult.
