21st February 2023 – 21:00, Anfield, Liverpool
Liverpool and Real Madrid will face each other in one of the most interesting ties of the Champions League eighth finals. Both teams want to go very far in this competition and will search for a positive result in the first leg.
Liverpool Preview & Team News
Liverpool, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 2-0 Premier League success against Newcastle United. It was the Reds’ second straight win, but they are still far from the top-four zone. A recurring trait of more recent Liverpool games is seeing a zero in the scoreline. Taking their prior sextet of clashes before this one, in 5 of them, a bet on both teams scoring would have been a loser. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend can be sustained into this next match. Regarding the availability issues, Arthur Melo (Surgery), Luis Díaz (Knee Injury), and Calvin Ramsay (Knee Surgery) will not be taking part for Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp.
Real Madrid Preview & Team News
Real Madrid will come into the encounter following on from a 02-0 La Liga win vs Osasuna in their most recent match. Los Blancos are still chasing Barcelona in the Spanish top flight, as they are five points behind their fierce rivals. Demonstrating their fondness for eventful encounters, goals have been seen as many as 22 times in the last six matches in which Real Madrid has played, making it a mean average of 3.67 goals for each meeting. Opposing teams have got 5 of this grand total. Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has to contend with reduced team options currently. Ferland Mendy (Muscle Injury), Karim Benzema (Muscle Fatigue), Aurélien Tchouameni (Flu), and Toni Kroos (Abdominal Influenza) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be an exciting game that can easily go either way. Both teams have improved their game recently, and we believe this clash will end in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Both sides have fierce attacking potential, and they should show it in its best light at Anfield. That’s why we think neither team will keep a clean sheet on Tuesday evening.
