Liverpool welcome Real Madrid to Anfield for what promises to be an exciting encounter in the UEFA Champions League. The Merseyside club will be looking to break their seven-game winless streak against the Spanish giants and claim a long-awaited victory over them for the first time since 2009. With both sides dealing with injuries and inconsistent form, this clash has all the ingredients for a dramatic and unpredictable spectacle.
In this preview, we’ll delve into both teams’ current form, tactical setups, and key players to watch. We’ll also highlight recent results and key matchups, offering insight into what could make the difference on the night.
Liverpool have been in fine form under new manager Arne Slot, who has revitalized the side since his arrival. With just one defeat across all competitions and a run of three consecutive victories, the Reds are riding high. Slot has introduced a tactical flexibility that has seen Liverpool play dynamic, fast-paced football, with a heavy reliance on pressing high up the pitch and exploiting quick transitions. The recent 4-0 demolition of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League highlighted just how dangerous they can be when firing on all cylinders. Mohamed Salah, as always, has been crucial to their success, contributing both goals and assists at an impressive rate this season.
However, despite their recent form, Liverpool have struggled against Real Madrid in their past encounters. The Spanish side has won the last three Champions League meetings, including a memorable 5-2 victory at Anfield in their last meeting. With key injuries to players, Liverpool will need to dig deep to challenge a Madrid side that has historically dominated them. The absence of goalkeeper Alisson Becker is also a concern, with Caoimhin Kelleher expected to continue in goal.
Real Madrid, under Carlo Ancelotti, have been a force in European football for over a decade, but their recent form has been anything but convincing. The Spanish giants were stunned by Ligue 1 side Lille in October, suffering a 1-0 defeat, before bouncing back with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund. However, their inconsistency was exposed in a 4-0 loss to Barcelona in El Clasico, followed by a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League. Despite their shaky performances,
Defensively, the loss of Eder Militao to a season-ending ACL injury has been a significant blow, and Ancelotti’s side now faces a defensive crisis, with academy player Raúl Asencio potentially making his Champions League debut. The absence of Rodrygo Goes and Aurelien Tchouameni further complicates Madrid’s preparations, but with Thibaut Courtois returning to fitness, there’s hope that the Belgian goalkeeper could be in line for a starting spot at Anfield. Madrid will need to tighten up defensively if they’re to avoid another heavy defeat in Europe, especially against a potent attacking force like Liverpool.
Our experts expect this to be a closely contested match, with both teams having the potential to cause each other problems. Liverpool’s high pressing and quick attacking play should give Real Madrid’s makeshift defense plenty of trouble, particularly with players like Salah and Diogo Jota (if fit) running at defenders. However, Madrid’s experience in European competition cannot be underestimated, and despite their inconsistencies, they have the firepower to punish any lapses in concentration from Liverpool.
Given both teams' attacking capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities, we anticipate a high-scoring affair. Liverpool will look to control the tempo and press Madrid high up the pitch, while Madrid will aim to exploit any gaps left open during the Reds' attacking forays. The key battle will be in midfield, where Liverpool's energetic pressing could disrupt Madrid's rhythm, but if Real Madrid's midfield trio can gain control, they may have the upper hand.

As much as it pains this Reds fan to say it, we’re predicting a 3-2 win for Real Madrid. Sure, Liverpool have been flying under Arne Slot, and Anfield on a European night is always something special, but Madrid’s pedigree in the Champions League and their big-game players could be the deciding factor. With Liverpool's defensive issues, especially without Alisson, they might struggle to keep out Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and co. in such a high-stakes match. Madrid have shown they can turn it on when needed, and despite their recent wobbles, they’ve got the muscle to edge this one.
For the bet, we’re leaning towards "Real Madrid to win and Both Teams to Score." With both teams likely to find the net in a back-and-forth game, we think Madrid’s experience and quality in key moments will see them come out on top. Liverpool’s attacking flair will certainly give them a chance, but Madrid’s clinical edge in Europe could prove the difference. We expect goals, drama, and perhaps a few too many nail-biting moments, but in the end, it’s Real who will be celebrating at the final whistle.
