Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Liverpool has recently fallen into an obvious form slump, achieving only 4 wins and 6 losses in the last 10 matches. Although their 2-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa in the last round boosted morale, consecutive losses to mid-table teams such as Crystal Palace and Brentford earlier exposed serious defensive vulnerabilities. Data reveals the key problem: Liverpool conceded 7 goals in the last 5 home matches, and the high average of 27 clearances per game reflects the chaos in the team’s backline build-up system. The offensive line still maintains full firepower (scoring 8 goals in 3 Champions League games), but the decline in midfield interception ability has led to frequent loopholes in attack-defense transitions. In terms of personnel, Liverpool still relies on the golden offensive line led by Mohamed Salah, but Salah’s performance in recent matches has been questionable, with certain problems in his scoring ability and linking-up play. It is worth noting that the team’s home performance in the Champions League is better than that in the league – they once thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the group stage, proving that they still have the potential to explode with the support of the Anfield atmosphere.
Real Madrid has created a terrifying record of 9 wins and 1 loss in a sweeping manner, and has recently secured a 6-match winning streak. The La Liga leader has shown dominant performances on both offensive and defensive ends: averaging 2.6 goals per game in the league (topping La Liga in scoring), and thrashing Almaty 5-0 in the Champions League group stage to demonstrate offensive depth. What is particularly noteworthy is their away ability – scoring an average of 2.8 goals per game in the last 10 away matches. Star player Kylian Mbappé is in hot form, scoring a brace in La Liga last Saturday, and has accumulated 24 goals and assists in club and national team matches this season. In addition, the newly recovered English midfielder Jude Bellingham has been involved in 4 goals in the last 3 matches – these two core players will pose a huge threat to Liverpool’s fragile defense. Besides, this match has special emotional significance for Xabi Alonso, who once helped Liverpool achieve the "Miracle of Istanbul" as a player, and Florian Wirtz, who is currently struggling in the opponent’s squad, is also his former protégé at Bayer Leverkusen.
Summary:
The two teams have faced each other frequently in recent years. Last season, after the reform of the Champions League format, Liverpool finally defeated their old rival at home, ending the embarrassing record of 8 winless matches against Real Madrid. However, when they meet again now, Liverpool’s problems have erupted in an all-round way, and the current team atmosphere is not as good as that of Real Madrid. Given Liverpool’s style of play, they will definitely launch an all-out attack at home, but the current midfield control of Liverpool is not as good as that of Real Madrid. Moreover, Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior in Real Madrid’s frontcourt both have the ability to take on the defensive line alone during counter-attacks, which will only have a negative effect when Liverpool’s new signings have not yet integrated into the team. In terms of the Asian Handicap, the initial line for this match gave Liverpool -0.25 at home; so far, some handicaps have dropped to a level line, while others remain at -0.25. It is not difficult to see from this situation that the market has already formed a basic perception of this match – Liverpool still has many problems in the squad. In contrast, the fact that Liverpool can give a -0.25 handicap shows that a large number of bettors in the market find this handicap unreasonable. Therefore, it is advisable to back Real Madrid to secure a draw or win at Anfield in this match.
