Liverpool v Real Madrid Match Result
Liverpool supporters will be dreaming of a Premier League and Champions League double right now. The Reds have been going along well domestically and in Europe, with the Merseyside outfit foot perfect as far as the latter is concerned. There have been victories against Milan, Bologna, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen so far.
The latter win was achieved by a 4-0 scoreline, with the Reds running riot in the final thirty minutes of the game after it was goalless on the hour mark. Luis Diaz chipped in with a hat-trick although it’s Mohamed Salah who is the star of this LFC team and the Egyptian could be a real thorn in the side of opposition who have been shipping plenty of goals this season.
Yes, Real Madrid have an all-star team featuring Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, although Carlo Ancelotti has had difficult getting the right blend since the Frenchman arrived from Paris Saint-Germain. Vini did bag a hat-trick against Osasuna although those home defeats against Barca and Milan were heavy ones.
It’s likely that Liverpool will feature in many an accumulator to win the game, especially as you can get around even money for Arne Slot’s side to do the business. They look defensively rock solid right now, with Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch enjoying an excellent season and this is a well-oiled machine who can take advantage of visitors’ defensive frailty.
Can we make a case for Los Merengues? This is pretty much the biggest odds you will find for a Real Madrid win all season and we shouldn’t forget that they are European champions. They are averaging more than two goals per game domestically and there were ten shots on target against Milan, although what has happened defensively?
Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger haven’t turned into bad players overnight and perhaps the draw could come into play. It should be stressed that Liverpool don’t need to win this fixture after earning those four wins, with a draw keeping them in the box seat to get an automatic qualification to the last sixteen stage.
Liverpool v Real Madrid Goals Under/Over
It’s likely that we’ll see a few goals being scored at Anfield in this clash. Liverpool showed their attacking edge when bagging four goals against Bayer Leverkusen and they are capable of covering the goal line by themselves, especially if Real Madrid don’t tighten up defensively. There is a big attacking threat coming from Mo Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.
Naturally, Real Madrid will adopt an attack-minded approach and they managed to put five goals past Borussia Dortmund after falling two goals behind. The presence of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior offers a chance to find the net, with Los Merengues’ games involving an average of four goals thus far.
There’s the option to potentially combine a Liverpool win along with BTTS Yes. Real Madrid might need to come out of their shell and go on the attack, something which might leave them open to the Reds’ counter-attack. If you are really anticipating the net bulging a few times, there’s the option to push the envelope further and back Over 3.5 Goals where you can get a bigger price.
Liverpool v Real Madrid BTTS
The Champions League betting sites anticipate that both teams will find the net in this game. Liverpool have only failed to score in one of their matches so far, going 1-0 down at home to Nottingham Forest. However, they have scored ten goals in four Champions League games, averaging 2.5 per match.
On the flip side, they have only conceded once in those matches. There’s little denying that the central defence of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahim Konate are something of a brick wall this season, with Trent Alexander-Arnold hoping to return from a hamstring injury and the full-back has been linked to a move to Real Madrid next summer.
Real Madrid have scored nine goals and conceded seven in their four games played thus far. We know that this team have a potent attack although there have been lapses including a 1-0 defeat away to Lille. We really don’t think there’s a lot of value in wagering the BTTS Yes option at the current prices.
Liverpool v Real Madrid First Goalscorer
Liverpool have got plenty of goals in the team! They have found the net twenty-one times in the Premier League and also scored ten times in four Champions League encounters. Mohamed Salah has bagged ten goals in all competitions this season and let’s not forget that any penalty duties will fall the way of the Egyptian.
However, it was Luis Diaz who scored that hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen and the Colombian clearly carries a scoring threat of his own. He has nine goals of his own this season, with Cody Gakpo expected to take the central striking role and the Dutchman has excellent finishing ability.
As for Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham will clearly be motivated on his return to England, with Vinicius Junior representing the best chance of Los Merengues scoring. The Brazilian continues to be the main man for the Spanish side, with twelve goals managed in all competitions and that includes nine goals in the previous six encounters.
Kylian Mbappe enjoyed a run of five games where he was able to find the net earlier in the campaign, although he’s managed to find the net just once in the previous seven encounters. Having not appeared for France during the international break, he could be fit and raring to go.
