Liverpool vs Real Madrid Predictions

• Liverpool have won 16 of their 18 games this season.
• Real Madrid have lost two of their four Champions League fixtures.
• Mohamed Salah has scored six goals in nine home appearances this season.

Liverpool saved by sensational Salah

Liverpool went eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a dramatic win away to Southampton, and they can continue their winning trend when they face the reigning Champions League winners Real Madrid on Wednesday.

It certainly wasn’t an easy afternoon for Arne Slot’s side, with a goal either side of half-time for the hosts leaving the Reds with a deficit to overturn.

This was duly delivered by talisman Mohamed Salah, with his crucial brace landing him his ninth and tenth Premier League goals of the season. Salah has netted six times in nine competitive home starts this term and looks a good bet to get on the scoresheet against a Real Madrid side that have struggled in the Champions League so far.

Los Blancos stumble in Champions League

The defending champions sit 18th in the newly structured league phase after losing two of their four assignments, including a dismal 1-0 loss away to Lille last month.

Combined with a humbling 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Barcelona at the end of October, Los Blancos have now failed to win four of their last ten games in all competitions, and Liverpool are arguably their toughest test yet.

Reds to prevail at Anfield

The hosts have won 16 of their 18 competitive games this season and all four of their Champions League fixtures. Their only blip at Anfield was a shock defeat to Nottingham Forest in September and they have won seven games there since, so backing them to take all three points appeals.

Liverpool have scored exactly two goals in five of their nine home games and two of their last four at Anfield have ended 2-1. With Real Madrid scoring in 16 of their 18 games this term, a repeat of that scoreline looks good value.
