Liverpool vs Real Madrid Match Prediction
UEFA Champions League
Anfield
This season Real Madrid find themselves 2nd in the La Liga table. Real Madrid last season did the double as they won both La Liga and the Champions League. This season has been tough for Los Blancos. Madrid finds themselves 5 points behind arch-rivals Barcelona having played a game more. Real Madrid is also having a lot of injury issues this season. The likes of Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Eden Hazard have found themselves frequently on the sidelines. The loss of Casemiro has also put a lot of pressure on Madrid’s midfield with Tchouameni still finding his footing. Real Madrid has performed well in their Champions League group stage, topping their group with the likes of Leipzig, Shakhtar Donetsk and Celtic featuring.
Liverpool FC has shocked a fair few when it comes to their performance in the Premier League this season. Last season, the Reds won the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup reached the Champions League Final and lost the Premier League Title to Manchester City only by a point. Last season’s long haul in every competition has seemed to have derailed Liverpool this season. Liverpool FC has had a lot of injuries also to deal with this season. The likes of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino who were on the sidelines are now fit. The major cause though for Liverpool’s demise this season is their ageing midfield. Liverpool’s starting midfield of Thiago, Henderson and Fabinho has not produced a single goal or assist this season. Jurgen Klopp and his men were victorious against arch-rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby on Monday. Liverpool then went on to beat Newcastle United at St James’ Park 2-0 with 1st half-goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo. Liverpool has now extensively boosted their top-four chances. The Reds now sit in 8th position in the League, 6 points away from 4th placed Newcastle with a game in hand. Though their away form has been abysmal, Liverpool is quite strong when it comes to playing at Anfield. The Reds have won seven, drawn three and lost just once at home this season.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Liverpool
We predict that Liverpool will go into this fixture as slight favourites to win. Real Madrid has arguably been one of the best sides in La Liga this season and one of the toughest to beat. The Los Blancos have lost just three games all season and have not lost a single game at home though they have lost all their three games away. Liverpool comes into this game on the back of a victory away at Newcastle and their form at home has been good. With Madrid’s attack being one of the best in La Liga, Liverpool’s defence could find it difficult to cope against them. Liverpool averaged 2.27 goals a game at home this season. Jurgen Klopp’s team have scored only 25 goals in 11 home games this season. Real Madrid has conceded just 10 goals from 12 games away from home this season. Liverpool could find it difficult to break down Madrid and could also be vulnerable on the break. In terms of odds, Liverpool is a slight favourite to win. It’s foolish to count out Liverpool when they play at Anfield but this season and with Madrid having injuries to key players, we predict Liverpool are slight favourites to win.
