Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Liverpool vs. Real Madrid at UEFA Champions League
It can’t be better for any football fan to see these two teams clash. Liverpool and Real Madrid have quite a history, and each time they collide in one event, that’s simply bound to be a spectacle. This one takes place at Anfield Road, and we should see a terrific battle.
Liverpool
The Reds don’t have as many injured players as in recent years, and that’s the reason why they have so much success on all fronts. Arne Slot’s boys have been constant and very rational, so it’s not odd to see this team topping the English Premier League.
Liverpool has been unstoppable at home since the campaign kicked off. Apart from losing to Nottingham Forest way back in September, they have noting byt wins, and all of them came with Slot’s machine netting at least twice.
We have to mention that when playing in front of their own fans, Liverpool’s defense also steps up, and five clean sheets are a testimony to that. It’s a great upgrade compared to the previous season when their backline struggled to find its rhythm.
Real Madrid
Los Blancos were in a crisis for the moment losing both big-time matches. After suffering a hammering in El Clasico to Barcelona, 0-4 at Bernabeu, Ancelotti’s unit was bashed by AC Milan, 1-3. That’s something which we haven’t seen for a long time, and the fans became pretty nervous.
The international break came in handy for the Spanish and European champions, as they had time to regroup and clear their minds following the turbulences they’d experienced.
Until this past weekend, Real’s matches were efficient. The last five in a row had three or more goals, and four were with over 3.5 hits.
Liverpool: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Diaz, Nunez
Real Madrid: Lunin, Vazquez, Rudiger, Asencio, Mendy, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde, Bellingham, Vinicius, Mbappe
Liverpool and Real played eleven times. Real has seven wins, Liverpool three, and one ended with a tie. The goal difference is 17-10 for the Los Blancos, who haven’t lost in the previous eight meetings against this rival. Seven of those matches concluded with their victories.
The time has come for the Los Blancos to lose against the Reds. Why? Liverpool plays better than its Spanish opponent, who also has plenty of injury problems. We don’t believe that Real managed to adjust to new circumstances regarding the replacements and create chemistry. Now, a team like Liverpool will surely use that, particularly at home, and due to the motive they have to stop a negative streak against the Madridians.
Our verdict: Liverpool wins
