Real Madrid vs Liverpool Preview & Prediction

Match preview

A pivotal match between Real Madrid and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will take place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday as the UEFA Champions League returns to action.

The La Liga standings now have Real Madrid in second position, although they have not played well this year. In their previous game, Los Blancos easily defeated Espanyol 3-1, and they’ll try to repeat that feat this week.

The Los Blancos managed to pull off an incredible comeback after the Reds established an early two-goal lead in the first game, and they are now the favorites to go to the quarterfinals.

Real Madrid’s team, led by Carlo Ancelotti, won again after a comeback on Saturday, this time over Espanyol. Joselu gave the Catalan team the advantage, but goals from Vinicius, Eder Militao, and Marco Asensio helped the team win.

Liverpool, on the other hand, has struggled with consistency this season and currently sits in sixth place in the Premier League table. Following a 7-0 home triumph over Manchester United, the Merseyside team must recover in this match after suffering a shocking 1-0 loss to Bournemouth over the weekend.

Real Madrid vs Liverpool prediction

Los Blancos in the Champions League is typically always a foregone conclusion, and the return of Benzema should only make their second-leg victory all the more emphatic en route to a place in the last eight. Ancelotti’s team cannot expect to keep a vengeful Reds team at bay, especially given their own patchy spell. Hence we go with the following pickings in this fixture:
