Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Liverpool vs. Real Madrid at UCL

Where: Anfield Road, Liverpool, England
When: Tuesday, February 21, 9 pm CET

The two old foes meet again as Liverpool hosts its big rival, Real Madrid. These two units have met frequently in the past, and lately, Real has had more success than the REds. Jurgen Klopp and his boys know that this is the last moment to save the season, and if they beat Real and eliminate them, the chances of winning the UEFA Champions League are going up. Meanwhile, Los Blancos are losing the La Liga title, and they, too, have to find trophies on the other side.

Liverpool vs. Real Madrid Prediction

Liverpool

The Reds’ defense has been anything but stable this year, and we need to say that apart from a shaky form, injuries have played a massive role. Throughout most of the campaign, Klopp had a headache with the back line. Even now, some of the top players aren’t eligible to play, like Ibrahima Konate, for example. Van Dijk recovered, but his form is highly questionable.

Liverpool didn’t lose in the past seven games at home, winning five and having two draws. The encouraging thing for the hosts’ fans is that they haven’t allowed a goal in the past 180 minutes at Anfield, playing 0-0 against Chelsea and beating Everton in the Merseyside derby 2-0.

The difference in their performances at home and on the road is massive, and we are pretty sure that Liverpool plans to attack the guests at Anfield.

Real Madrid

Los Blancos have been busy over the past month, playing eleven games in recent four weeks, which slowly takes a toll on the roster. Carlo Ancelotti faced certain problems at the start of February when some of his players picked up injuries, and he had to combine a lot. That’s how they lost pace with Barca in the La Liga title race.

A big boost for the European champs has been a trophy won in Morocco, when they became the World champs too. In games at the Club World Cup and against Elche after that, Real scored 13 goals, which also improved morale.

In the last 10 outings, Real won six times and lost four, and they, too, know to fail away from Santiago Bernabeu.
