It’s back to Champions League action again this week and arguably the standout tie of the round takes place at Anfield on Wednesday night. Two of the most successful sides in the history of the European Cups, Liverpool and Real Madrid are going head to head on Merseyside.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 14 games in all competitions and have lost just once in 18 games since the start of the season. They face a Real Madrid team who have fared only slightly worse themselves, with three defeats in their 18 games thus far. But it is worth pointing out that two of those losses have come in the Champions League, where the holders have found things far from straightforward.
After opening their campaign with a home victory against Stuttgart, Carlo Ancelotti’s men lost on the road at Lille and then followed up victory over Borussia Dortmund with another setback, a 3-1 home defeat to AC Milan.
Sportsbook CopyBet have Premier League leaders Liverpool as the 20/21 favourites for victory on Wednesday night, with Real Madrid out at 5/2 and the draw on offer at 13/5. The men from the Spanish capital sorely need a result as they currently sit 18th in the new look Champions League table and are heading for a playoff tie as things stand. Liverpool in contrast have won four out of four and sit top of the table, knowing that another three points from this one could all but secure their automatic qualification into the knockout stages.
In the goalscoring markets there are two names that stand out above the rest owing to their form so far this season. Vinicius Junior has netted an incredible nine times in his last seven games, including hat-tricks against Dortmund and Osasuna. The Brazilian is 11/2 to score first in this one and 7/4 to bag at anytime. Meanwhile for Liverpool, their Egyptian King Mohamed Salah was once again the matchwinner against Southampton on Sunday with two goals and he’s got himself on the scoresheet in eight of the last 12 games in all competitions. Another Salah brace is 7/1 whilst he’s 9/2 to open the scoring.
