This is why people enjoy UEFA Champions League elimination games. Galatasaray were a big underdog in the books but managed to win 1-0 after Mario Lemina propelled Galatasaray in the 7th minute of the first leg at Rams Park in Istanbul. Now it’s time for the 2nd leg in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. The game is set for Anfield on Tuesday, 17 March 2026, with the kick-off at 8:00 PM GMT. Arne Slot’s side needs at least one goal at Anfield without conceding to keep their European campaign alive. Let’s see what the books predict before this highly anticipated matchup.
Liverpool vs Galatasaray – Betting Odds
Anfield might give Liverpool an advantage, but Galatasaray’s one-goal lead means everything is still on the table. Let’s look at the most popular Liverpool vs Galatasaray betting odds for the second leg. Also, keep in mind that more UEFA Champions League betting odds for the Round of 16 2nd legs will be available on our sportsbook.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 is usually the simplest and most straightforward way to bet on any footballing fixture. They back one of the three outcomes for the game. Bettors have these different options:
- 1 (Home Win) – Bet on Liverpool to win the game
- X (Draw) – Bet on the game to end in a draw
- 2 (Away Win) – Bet on Galatasaray to win
As of now, Liverpool’s home record and the obligation to attack make them heavy favourites. Bookmakers still see the English side as the 80% favourite to win the game outright. At the same time, a chance for a Galatasaray win is viewed at ~12.5%, with around 17.4% for a draw.
| Market | Odds |
| Liverpool Win (1) | 1/4 |
| Draw (X) | 19/4 |
| Galatasaray Win (2) | 7/1 |
Keep an eye out for the [EP] badge near the betting market. This highlights Early Payout eligibility, meaning if your team jumps out to a huge lead, your bet can be settled as a successful one before the game ends.
Double Chance Odds
Double chance betting lets you cover two outcomes with one stake. Once again, our customers can choose one of multiple outcomes to wager on:
- Liverpool FC or a draw
- Liverpool FC or Galatasaray
- Draw or Galatasaray
As of now, a Liverpool or Draw (1X) has the highest implied probability at around 94.3%. Liverpool or Galatasaray (12) is also viewed as highly likely with 90% implied chance, followed by X2 with ~32%.
| Market | Odds |
| Liverpool or Draw (1X) | 1/15 |
| Liverpool or Galatasaray (12) | 1/9 |
| Draw or Galatasaray (X2) | 21/10 |
Remember that these bets have a form of safety net. This means that the odds will be lower than those of 1×2 betting, but it’s understandable due to the fact that you cover 2 outcomes instead of just the one.
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap lines try to level the playing field virtually. They give a virtual advantage to the underdog and provide a virtual disadvantage to the favourite, which they must cover for the bet to win. You must know how to read the handicap numbers to bet responsibly.
For example, a -1.5 handicap for Liverpool demands the Reds win by 2 or more goals. On the other hand, Galatasaray +1.5 means the Turkish side can lose by one, and your bet still wins, but they can also draw or win outright. The current Liverpool vs Galatasaray odds for handicaps can be found in the table below.
| Market | Odds |
| Liverpool −1.5 | 4/6 |
| Galatasaray +1.5 | 11/10 |
| Liverpool −2.5 | 31/20 |
| Galatasaray +2.5 | 10/21 |
Out of these listed picks, Liverpool -1.5 and Galatasaray +2.5 carry the highest implied probabilities with 60 and 67.7%, respectively.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
Both Teams to Score asks whether both Liverpool and Galatasaray will find the net at least once during the 90 minutes plus stoppages.
Both squads have motivation to score, with Liverpool needing a goal even to stay alive, and Galatasaray having proved they’re dangerous on the counter. Plus, Victor Osimhen remains a constant threat. Let’s see these Liverpool vs Galatasaray betting odds in more detail.
| Market | Odds |
| Yes | 7/11 |
| No | 9/8 |
As of now, ‘Yes’ carries the higher implied probability at ~61%, meaning books anticipate that both teams might be able to score.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
No list of football betting odds would be complete without listing Goal Total (Over/Under).
These markets focus on the combined number of goals across the full 90 minutes. There are thresholds with two modifications – Under & Over. Here’s how they work:
- Over 2.5 goals requires three or more in-game goals in total
- Under 2.5 means the match ends with two goals or fewer.
It’s hard to predict whether both squads will be able to drive the ball past the goalkeeper, or whether the 17 March affair will turn into a dogfight with minimal chances.
| Market | Odds |
| Over 2.5 Goals | 10/31 |
| Under 2.5 Goals | 43/20 |
| Over 3.5 Goals | 4/5 |
| Under 3.5 Goals | 20/23 |
From this list, Over 2.5 Goals is considered the most likely of the Goal Total Liverpool vs Galatasaray odds. The books give it an implied chance of 75.6%.
Correct Score Odds
Correct score betting offers the highest potential returns in this fixture. However, guessing right is very difficult because there are so many factors involved. For example, if you think that Liverpool will win 2-0, you can find a particular pick and bet on it. The bet will only win if Liverpool wins by that score.
Correct Score Odds are suitable for players with a higher risk tolerance.
| Market | Odds |
| Liverpool 1–0 | 11/1 |
| Liverpool 2–0 | 15/2 |
| Liverpool 2–1 | 8/1 |
| Liverpool 3–0 | 8/1 |
| Liverpool 3–1 | 9/1 |
| Draw 1–1 | 11/1 |
| Galatasaray 1–0 | 35/1 |
There are a few, almost equally positioned markets, with Liverpool 2–0, Liverpool 2–1 and Liverpool 3–0 showing the highest, yet nearly identical implied probabilities.
To Qualify
These markets tend to pick up the pace before 2nd legs, but are popular outright picks just after the draws are announced, with ‘To Qualify’ wagers, bettors back one or the other team to qualify. Bettors are rewarded for choosing the more consistent squad, which is able to deliver a better overall result over 2 legs. Here’s how the numbers look before a visit to Anfield.
| Market | Odds |
| Liverpool | 5/14 |
| Galatasaray | 2/1 |
Even though they come in with a 1-goal deficit, Liverpool are still the bookmaker’s favourites to qualify with a 73.7% implied probability to progress. Galatasaray get a 33.3% chance.
