TEAMS PREVIEW

Liverpool FC Preview

Under new coach Arne Slot, Liverpool's 2025/26 season has shown mixed results, and they currently sit 7th in the Premier League table with 15 points. Despite their domestic position, the team have displayed offensive strength, as Hugo Ekitike leads their scoring across all competitions with six goals, while Mohamed Salah has scored four in the league.

The team faces significant injury concerns. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker (hip), midfielder Stefan Bajcetic (hamstring), Alexander Isak (groin), Curtis Jones (knock), Giovanni Leoni (cruciate ligament), and Jeremie Frimpong (muscle injury) will all miss the match.

Stats That Matter

1. Liverpool have historically struggled against Real Madrid in the Champions League, losing seven of their last eight meetings.
2. They will rely on strong Anfield form; in the 2024/25 Champions League season, the team secured a crucial 2–0 victory against Real Madrid at Anfield.
3. Their European defensive strength at home stands out, as they kept a clean sheet at Anfield in the Champions League as of November 2024.

Liverpool Predicted Starting Lineups (4-2-3-1): G. Mamardashvili; C. Bradley, I. Konaté, V. van Dijk, A. Robertson; R. Gravenberch, A. Mac Allister; M. Salah, D. Szoboszlai, C. Gakpo; H. Ekitike

Real Madrid CF Preview

Real Madrid enter the match in strong form, sitting at the top of the La Liga table with 27 points, after losing only one game this season. Their attack remains prolific, with Kylian Mbappé leading the scoring charts with 18 goals in all competitions. The team averages 2.25 goals per match.

However, injuries have hit their defence, as key defenders Daniel Carvajal (knee), Antonio Rüdiger (leg), and possibly David Alaba (muscle injury) are sidelined. This situation could expose the visiting side against a Liverpool team eager to improve their domestic standing.

Stats That Matter

1. Real Madrid have dominated recent Champions League matchups against Liverpool, holding a record of five wins and one draw in their last six encounters.
2. The club’s extensive history in the competition, with 15 Champions League titles, shows why they are the most successful team.
3. Kylian Mbappe scored 5 goals in 3 matches for Real Madrid this season. 

Real Madrid Predicted Starting Lineups (4-3-3): T. Courtois; F. Valverde, É. Militão, D. Huijsen, A. Carreras; A. Güler, A. Tchouaméni, J. Bellingham; F. Mastantuono, K. Mbappé, V. Júnior

LIVERPOOL FC vs REAL MADRID CF
Winning Prediction

Real Madrid are the favourites to win this contest. Their superior domestic form and the prolific goal-scoring of Kylian Mbappé give them a significant edge. While Liverpool have home advantage and will look to exploit Real Madrid’s defensive injuries, the visitors’ attacking power and strong league position should decide the match.
