Liverpool – Real Madrid : Preview & Prediction
Liverpool had no problems at all in the group stage where they were tied on points with Napoli and went through as 2nd place on goal value.
This season in the Premiership they are the main disappointment, as they started as favorites (with respect to Manchester City) to win the title and after 22 games they are in the middle of the table 5 points behind Europe and 19 points behind the leaders.
In their 2 most recent matches they have won 2-0 against Everton and 0-2 against Newcastle this Saturday, with Darwin Nunez and Gakpo scoring against the Magpies.
Darwin Nunez himself had to withdraw early and is a doubt to host Madrid, so he could join Calvin Ramsay, Thiago Alcantar Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate in the absentee list. Arthur is also a doubt.
Liverpool’s eleven could be formed by Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil Van Dijk, Robertson; Bajcetic, Fabinho, Henderson; Mohamed Salah, Gakpo and Diogo Jota.
Real Madrid, who finished first in the group stage ahead of German side Leipzig, Shaktar Donetsk and Celtic.
In the Spanish League, they are fighting a battle against Barcelona in which they are trailing, trying without much success to cut points to the azulgrana team.
This Saturday they visited Pamplona against Osasuna where they won by 0-2 with goals from Fede Valverde and Marco Asensio, and although Vinicius also scored his goal it would not go on the scoreboard after mediation of the VAR.
In principle, Benzemá would be ready to play, but there are certain doubts about this statement. The one who will not be there is Tchouameni, who joins the injured Ferland Mendy and Mariano Diaz.
Ancelotti could start with Courtois; Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Rudiger, David Alaba; Toni Kroos, Camavinga, Luka Modric; Fede Valverde, Benzema and Vinicius.
