Comments and predictions on the results of Liverpool vs Real Madrid

Last year, Liverpool were defeated by Real Madrid in the Champions League final. The lucky draw brought the two teams to clash right in the 1/8 round of this season. With the confidence that is at the moment, Liverpool can completely think of a victory over Real, which is not in the hands of the strongest squad.

Predictions before the match Liverpool vs Real Madrid

Not many teams have beaten Napoli this season, and Liverpool can be proud to be one of them. In the group stage, Klopp’s army overcame Napoli and won 15 points together. Unfortunately, The Kop still has to be ranked below the Partenopei due to a poor head-to-head record, mainly because of a 1-4 defeat at Diego Armando Maradona in the first match.

Second place in the table gives Liverpool a difficult draw to be Real Madrid. And hopes of progressing were shaken violently when the port city team performed in disappointment and fell very deeply in the Premier League as well as being eliminated from all domestic cup competitions.

Liverpool is in a good mental state to win Real

But confidence returned to Liverpool at the right time. Two consecutive victories over Everton and Newcastle in the Premier League means that the top 4 is still within reach of Liverpool. The strikers on the attack also had the opportunity to clear the barrel after a gloomy period. Nunez, Salah, and rookie Gakpo all contributed goals in this match and Liverpool began to see light at the end of the dark tunnel.

Klopp’s army has only been eliminated in the 1/8 round of the Champions League exactly once in the past 5 years – before Real’s city rival Atletico Madrid in the 2019/20 season. Liverpool’s unbeaten streak at Anfield has also been increased to 7. And Real must certainly be somewhat cautious when marching to Merseyside.

Real Madrid were not appreciated last season but beat Chelsea, PSG, Man City, and Liverpool on the way to the championship last season. The DNA of the king of the Champions League is not to be underestimated and underestimating Los Blancos is a mistake even though Real’s group stage performance is not perfect.

The draw with Shakhtar Donetsk and the defeat to RB Leipzig threatened Real Madrid’s ability to win the top spot. But beating Celtic with a score of 5-1 in the last match helped Real take the top spot of Leipzig with 1 point more. Recently, Real also won the FIFA Club World Cup.

Real has been playing relatively uneventfully in recent times

Over the weekend, Real got their fourth consecutive win in all competitions against Osasuna thanks to late goals from Federico Valverde and Marco Asensio. But Real’s hopes of winning the main title double this season are like hanging bells.

The gap with Barcelona in La Liga is still 8 points. Meanwhile, Real’s performance in the European Cup this season is also fluctuating. More worryingly, Real only won 2 of the last 6 matches having to play away from home in the European Cup.

Not only that, but Real’s force is also seriously chipped in an important position as a central midfielder. According to the list of players coming to Liverpool, Real will not have the service of midfielders Tchouameni and Kroos. These are the two most prominent midfielders in Real’s midfield this season. Without them, Real will face many difficulties in controlling the game and creating to score goals.

Losing in last year’s Champions League final extended Liverpool’s winless streak against Real Madrid to six. This is Liverpool’s longest winless streak against an opponent in the Champions League. But Liverpool have great advantages to put an end to this long series of matches at Anfield today.
