Liverpool vs Real Madrid Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, 21 February 2023.
Liverpool seem to be improving their form right when they need it the most. They registered two back-to-back wins in the PL in the last two game weeks – against Newcastle, and Everton.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are fresh off the triumph in the Club World Cup, and will be eager to defend their title in the CL. And note that they are taking on the same opponent whom they defeated in the previous edition of the CL Final.
Liverpool vs Real Madrid Head-to-head stats
As mentioned, the Royal Whites registered a 1-0 win in the Final of the 2021-22 Champions League, to lift an unprecedented 14th title. They also are unbeaten against this opponent since 2009, and even won five of the last six h2h clashes.
In fact, over the course of their history, the Reds have a single win against this opponent at home – and it came 14 years back in 2009.
Who will win the match between Liverpool vs Real Madrid?
Jurgen Klopp’s men just defeated the seemingly unbeatable Newcastle, and are rightfully high on confidence. They are also at home – the famed Anfield, and moreover they are raring to avenge themselves for the defeat last May in the Final.
However, the Los Blancos do have a habit of raising their level in crunch situations. They have made it a habit of delivering masterclasses in the Champions League, and most of all, they have a phenomenal h2h record against Liverpool.
Likely, expect a hard-fought win for the guests this Tuesday.
How many goals can be expected?
The Reds scored two or more goals in their last two fixtures. In fact, they slotted in two or more goals in every single appearance at home after November – barring the Chelsea game.
At the same time, not only are Carlo Ancelotti’s men on a four-fixture winning streak, but they also scored 15 goals in the process.
Moreover, four of the past seven h2h meetings had three or more goals as well.
As these two determined titans take on each other this Tuesday, anticipate a high-scoring affair.
Will Both Teams Score in the match?
Only once have Klopp’s men failed to score at home this whole season in all competitions; against Chelsea. In fact, they scored twice or more in 100% of games at this venue after November, barring this Chelsea match-up.
On top of that, only once have Real Madrid failed to find the back of the net on the road since May.
As such, it is logical to expect goals to come from either end of the pitch this Tuesday.
Liverpool vs Real Madrid Prediction
The Los Blancos are on a four-fixture winning streak, and are also fresh off their triumph in the Club World Cup. Moreover, they are the defending champions of the UCL, and they won the final against this same opponent.
On the other hand, Liverpool have not been at their brilliant best this time around in the PL. Despite their good performances in the latest couple of games, they have been a mess. On top of that they have a poor h2h record against this rival too.
And most of all, the Royal Whites are kind of specialists in the UCL at this point. Backing them to win this fixture is an easy decision here – at an odd of 3.00.
Going on, they scored 15 goals from their last four games, and failed to score just once on the road since May. On the other hand, Liverpool are at their fortress, Anfield, where they have always been formidable.
Moreover, they are determined to make amends for the final loss, and they also failed to score at this venue just once this whole season.
As such, the Over 2.5 Match Goals would be a decent pick, at an odd of 1.75.
