Liverpool vs Real Madrid Prediction: Can we expect revenge from Klopp's team?

In the first match of the Champions League round of 16 Liverpool will take on Real Madrid at the legendary Anfield. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Liverpool

Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp are not criticized this season. Even many fans believe it is time for the German specialist to vacate the place of the head coach. And not without reason - after 22 rounds in the EPL, the team is only eighth in the standings with 35 points, risking not even getting into the Eurocup competitions. There are still many rounds to go, but not the kind of thinking the fans of the top club dream about. Although in the previous two games, the Reds managed to perform successfully - first in the derby, they beat Everton (2:0), and then quite unexpectedly Newcastle (2:0).

Also, we should not forget that Liverpool looked great in the Champions League group stage. Opponents of the Merseysiders were Napoli, Ajax, and Rangers. The team finished second, scoring 15 points in six rounds.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid continues to chase the leading Barcelona in La Liga. However, they have a slim chance of becoming champion this campaign as they have an exemplary record of 59 points compared to 51 for Real Madrid. But what kind of season is Real Madrid without a trophy? The team has already won this season by winning the Club World Cup. After the final against Al Hilal on February 11 (5:3), the Madrid club secured straight victories over Elche (4:0) and Osasuna (2:0) in La Liga.

In the Champions League group, the reigning champion performed well and took first place in the quartet with RB Leipzig, Shakhtar, and Celtic. Real scored 13 points in six meetings.

Expert Betting Tips

Is it necessary to say that Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League? Everyone knows that, so the attitude toward this team in this tournament is very different. Currently, Madrid has no significant problems, they are doing well, so it is unlikely that something will prevent them from showing class in the Champions League again. And the chances of winning in La Liga are not very high - perhaps we should concentrate on the performance in the international arena. Liverpool is in a state of crisis.

It just so happens that Liverpool and Real Madrid have frequently been meeting in the Champions League recently - they have met six times since 2010. Five wins by the Spanish team and one draw - it is unlikely that the struggling English side can claim a win now. Therefore, it is logical to bet on the visitors not to lose.
