Heading into this tie, both Liverpool and Real Madrid are coming from back to back wins. Los Blancos have the slight upperhand with four wins in the last five matches in all competitions. Let’s take a closer look at both sides.

Liverpool v Real Madrid UCL Prediction – Preview

Liverpool F.C.

Liverpool finished the group stage second in Group A with 15 points. In their last group stage game in November, they saw off Napoli 2-0. The game had been goalless up until the last few minutes, when Mohamed Salah pounced on Alex Meret‘s parry to give the Reds the lead. Darwin Nuñez then gave the killer blow with another finish on Meret’s spill. The Jurgen Klopp-led side would then struggle after the World Cup break, but got back to winning form just in time for the UCL with wins over Everton (2-0) and Newcastle (2-0). However, the Merseysiders received a setback with Nuñez’s recent injury. Will their lineup still be enough as they face familiar foes Los Blancos at Anfield?

Liverpool won their first 3 encounters against Real Madrid in Europe between 1981 and 2009. The Reds have since been winless in 6 matches against Los Blancos, 5 of which are losses (D1). (This is also their longest winless run against a single opponent in the competition).
After losing the opening game of this campaign (1-4 against Napoli), Liverpool have won each of their last 5 matches in the UCL. Only one time before have they had a longer winning streak under Jurgen Klopp in the UCL (7 consecutive wins between September 2021 and February 2022).

Real Madrid C.F.

Real Madrid finished the group campaign on top of Group F with 13 points, clearing RB Leipzig by one point. On the final day of competition in November, they thrashed Celtic 5-1 at the Bernabeu. Luka Modric opened the scoring from the spot on just 5 minutes, then Rodrygo doubled the lead also via a penalty 16 minutes later for a 2-0 halftime lead. Marco Asensio, Vinicius Jr and Federico Valverde all netted in a span of 20 minutes to put away the game, with Jota scoring a consolation goal for the Scottish side. The Carlo Ancelotti-led team may have fallen behind rivals Barcelona in the La Liga title race, but they remain deadly, having recently won the Club World Cup. They are also fresh off a dramatic win over Osasuna in the Spanish top flight, with Valverde and Asensio again scoring. Can they beat a Reds squad that is peaking at the right time at Anfield?

This is Real Madrid’s 4th journey to Anfield to face Liverpool in the competition. After bowing in the first one 0-4 in March 2009, they have been undefeated in their last 2 trips and maintained a clean sheet: 3-0 in October 2014 and 0-0 in April 2021.
Los Blancos have just won 1 of their past 7 away matches against English teams in the UCL (D2 L4). This was against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in April 2022.
