Why Real Madrid Could Win/Draw
Few days ago, if you were quick on the draw, you could’ve caught Liverpool at almost 2.50 odds.
But the market’s been shifting, and now they’re hovering around 1.80 – which honestly makes recommending a bet on Liverpool to win as appealing as ordering a salad at a BBQ joint.
Speaking of Liverpool, they’ve got a heavyweight clash with Manchester City coming up this weekend that they are already looking ahead to.
But here’s the cool part – they don’t necessarily need to go all-out tonight.
A draw and a single point would be enough to reclaim their spot at the top of the Champions League league table, which they were proudly sitting on before this round.
Would they really ming maintaining their throne at the top of the without breaking too much of a sweat, when they got the Manchester City clash coming this weekend?
Now, let’s talk about Real Madrid. Sure, they’ve got some injuries and challenges, but let’s be real – they’re still Real Madrid. That name carries serious weight in football, basically because they always manage to pull off wins, no matter what. Real Madrid and their manager are under immense pressure, and it feels like they need a win tonight to silence the calls for Ancelotti’s head.
This might just be the perfect moment for Kylian Mbappé to step up and be the hero for Los Blancos. And with Vinicius Jr. currently on the sidelines nursing an injury, the spotlight’s even brighter for Mbappé to shine. Talk about pressure, right? But hey, that’s why they pay him the big bucks!
Why Liverpool Could Draw/Win
Liverpool won their match down at Southampton, despite not playing their best.
Winning even when you’re not playing your absolute best? That’s the mark of a top-tier team like Liverpool and we all know how its turned out when Liverpool show us their A-game.
Remember their last Champions League home match? They absolutely demolished Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 – talk about making a statement! Sure, things might be a bit trickier this time around, but with their home crowd creating that electric atmosphere, it’s gonna be incredibly tough for any team to stand in their way.
Real Madrid have been unrecognizable this fall. It’s almost like they’ve forgotten how to fight and win games over talented opponents. One of their quirky challenges has been figuring out how to make Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior work together on the pitch – both players who love drifting to the left side.
Now Ancelotti’s got an unexpected solution with Vinícius out injured. Though let’s be real – missing the player ranked second-best in the world according to the Ballon d’Or isn’t exactly a positive.
There are whispers that Ancelotti might be hanging onto his coaching job by a thread. In the Champions League, he’s already taken some tough losses from Lille and Milan. Adding to the drama, his team has conceded goals in every single round so far, and it seems pretty unlikely that Los Blancos are going to keep a clean sheet on Merseyside.
Our Prediction
Real Madrid might be a bit banged up, but they’re still a force to be reckoned with, they have a knack for rising to the occasion, even when they’re not at full strength.
Liverpool haven’t been able to figure out how to beat them for over a decade.
Plus, they’ve got a bigger fish to fry with City this weekend, which could affect their focus.

Anything else that catch our eye?
- For those that want a safer bet, Real Madrid +1 Asian Handicap is available @ 1.71 with Betsson.
With this bet you will get refunded if Liverpool wins by a single goal.
- Real Madrid’s right-hand side of the defense is a bit shaky. Lucas Vázquez, who’s likely to start as a right-back, looks stressed and out of his depth and Asensio, making his debut as a right-center-back is inexperienced. Luis Díaz to score anytime @ 3.30 looks tempting.
