Real Madrid vs Liverpool
UEFA Champions League
Date: 15 March 2023, Wednesday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid).
After a successful comeback in the Champions League, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is looking to make another one against Real Madrid when the two meet up at the Santiago Bernabeu.
In 2019, the Reds were facing a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona at home. They then secured a remarkable victory, which became known as one of the most significant results in the history of the competition.
After falling behind against the La Liga champions, Liverpool will be facing another daunting task when they travel to Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final. In the first leg, they gave away five goals in just 15 minutes.
It’s hard to imagine how Klopp would be able to catch Carlo Ancelotti, who is one of the most prominent managers in the world of football, napping at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid vs Liverpool Head-to-head
- Real Madrid have been the dominant force in the history of this matchup, winning six and drawing one of the last seven meetings with the Reds.
- As mentioned above, the first leg of this tie ended in Madrid’s 2-5 win at Anfield in what was an open game full of chances at both ends.
- We’ve seen at least four goals in three of the previous five head to head outings.
Real Madrid vs Liverpool Prediction
While Liverpool are expected to go for a famous comeback, it’s not clear if they can find a way to score goals against Real Madrid’s back line, which has been improving all season.
It would be hard for Liverpool to trouble Real Madrid throughout the entire 90 minutes. Their inconsistent play this season has made it hard to see them challenging the reigning champions.
