Liverpool vs Real Madrid Preview and Team News

Liverpool Team News

Liverpool have been slumping in recent weeks, but they took a gigantic step forward last time out with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Aston Villa this past weekend. 

It’s still hard to trust the Reds to get good results against top opposition, however, as they’ve suffered three defeats in their previous five matches across all competitions (W2, L3).

Furthermore, Liverpool’s slump shows the team have won only two of their previous six games. That run includes a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in Istanbul in MD2 of the UEFA Champions League, although they bounced back with a 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt. 

Still, it’s unlikely Liverpool will go out and score five against Real Madrid, especially given their recent struggles.

The lack of depth is something Slot complained about following the Carabao Cup against Crystal Palace on October 29, and that’s an issue that might resurface once again here. They’ll be without several would-be regulars for this clash, such as Alexander Isak (groin), Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring), and Alisson (groin). Therefore, Liverpool shouldn’t make drastic changes from the side that defeated Villa over the weekend.

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Szoboszlai, van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.

Real Madrid Team News

Real Madrid extended their dominant stretch with a sixth straight win across all competitions by thrashing Valencia 4-0 in LaLiga last time out. 

Xabi Alonso’s men have been playing better and better as weeks progress, and their 2-5 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby back on September 27 feels like a distant memory now.

Their results in the UEFA Champions League have been excellent as well. They hold a perfect record through three matches with wins over Marseille, Kairat Almaty, and Juventus, while showing outstanding efficiency on both sides of the ball with an average of 2.67 goals scored and two clean sheets over that span. 

This meeting against Liverpool will be their toughest test in the league phase, but a positive result here would all but secure their spot in the knockout rounds.

Los Merengues won’t have the same depth issues as the Reds, although there could be some concerns in defence. Antonio Rudiger (thigh) and David Alaba (foot) are out, paving the way for Dean Huijsen to slot alongside Eder Militao at centre-back. Dani Carvajal (knee) is sidelined, meaning Trent Alexander-Arnold could start in his return to Anfield. 

Key players Kylian Mbappé, Thibaut Courtois, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior should all start.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-3-1-2): Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Eder Militao, Huijsen, Álvaro Carreras; Valverde, Camavinga, Arda Guler; Bellingham; Mbappé, Vinicius Junior.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid Prediction, Odds

It’s getting harder to determine which team will walk away with the victory in this matchup. These two clubs are among the best in Europe regardless of their recent form, and the odds also reflect that parity. However, when digging a bit deeper, Real Madrid appear slightly more likely to leave Anfield with all three points.

First, it’s impossible to ignore both sides’ form heading into this contest. Even though Liverpool took a step forward with their win over Aston Villa, their slump has been notorious, and they’ll likely struggle with Real Madrid’s quality in the final third.

Los Merengues have been routinely destroying opponents, winning nine of their last 10 outings across all competitions while scoring at least twice in eight of them.

While Real Madrid aren’t expected to cruise through this game, they’re still in incredible form right now, whereas Liverpool have been struggling against squads with enough quality to unsettle them at the back. Los Blancos look likely to win here in what’s shaping up to be a cagey affair.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid Betting Tip

When you look at the attacking talent both clubs have at their disposal, it’s easy to picture a game filled with end-to-end chances. However, this is a high-stakes fixture for both teams. It wouldn’t be surprising to see a slow start, as neither will want to give an inch to the other on the defensive end.

Taking into account Liverpool’s performances in the Champions League and the way Real Madrid set up their tactical approach against Juventus, this could very well turn into a tight contest with under 3.5 total goals. That has been the outcome in four of their previous six UCL meetings since the start of the 2020-21 season.
