Liverpool vs Real Madrid Predictions
Real Madrid’s control and structure give them the edge
Real Madrid arrive at Anfield on a six-match winning streak, having claimed 13 victories in their opening 14 fixtures this season. Xabi Alonso has restored balance and structure to Los Blancos, blending their attacking quality with disciplined positional play. Madrid’s transitions remain sharp, while the midfield trio have regained control that allows them to dictate tempo and isolate defensive weaknesses in opponents.
Liverpool’s backline, by contrast, has struggled to maintain cohesion — conceding consistently during a run of six defeats in eight matches. That instability plays directly into Real’s strength in forward movement and clinical finishing. Alonso’s side have been ruthless away from home, adapting their press and possession game effectively depending on the opposition’s rhythm.
Given their current fluency and Liverpool’s fragile defensive shape, Real Madrid look well-placed to continue their run with another composed, high-tempo display.
Tip: Real Madrid to Win ( at N/A)
Liverpool’s attack can test Madrid, but defensive gaps remain
Liverpool’s forward line still carries threat — even amid their inconsistent spell. The Reds continue to create chances through pace and pressing intensity, especially at Anfield, where they often build momentum early. However, the absence of balance between attack and defence has left them exposed once the opposition breaks through their first pressing line.
That lack of defensive compactness has cost them repeatedly, with five of their last six defeats coming by a single goal. Against a side as efficient as Real Madrid, any lapse in structure could prove decisive. Alonso’s team are unlikely to allow Liverpool the space Aston Villa granted at the weekend, focusing instead on exploiting transitional moments.
Liverpool’s offensive spark may ensure an open contest, but Real’s efficiency in both boxes should decide it.
Tip: Real Madrid 2-1 ( at N/A)
