Game Preview
On Wednesday night, Liverpool will travel to Madrid to face Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. Liverpool must produce an extraordinary performance at Bernabeu to keep their European journey alive after their 5-2 loss at Anfield three weeks ago. Real Madrid’s impressive comeback victory poses a significant challenge for Liverpool.
Despite the excitement brought by Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, Carlo Ancelotti remained composed throughout the match. Although Liverpool conceded four goals to Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema, Ancelotti’s team showed no signs of apprehension.
Real Madrid managed to get back on track with a comfortable 3-1 win against Espanyol last weekend after failing to win their three subsequent domestic matches. Real Madrid has won 26 out of the last 27 times they won the first leg of a Champions League tie away from home, but Liverpool is hoping to avoid a similar fate to Manchester United’s defeat at Anfield.
Liverpool’s defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday was surprising, and they have not won against Real Madrid in their last seven encounters since the quarter-finals of the 2008-09 edition. Liverpool will miss the support of their home fans and Divock Origi’s ability to execute quickly-taken corners.
Let’s check the latest picks, Champions League news, stats and Champions League expert picks for Real Madrid vs Liverpool. We’ve plenty of Champions League predictions for you to consider.
Karim Benzema is expected to lead Real Madrid’s line at Anfield, with Ferland Mendy possibly returning, but Ancelotti may not want to risk him from the start. David Alaba will miss the second leg due to a thigh issue.
Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, still has to consider the absences of Luis Diaz, Thiago Alcantara, Calvin Ramsay, and Joe Gomez for their trip to Bernabeu. Liverpool may adopt an ambitious 4-2-3-1 setup and bring in Diogo Jota, with Jordan Henderson as the first choice for midfield changes.
It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will be able to secure another quarter-final berth, or whether Liverpool will be able to pull off a surprise and come from behind in what looks to be a very difficult round of 16.
