Liverpool vs. Real Madrid: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

Liverpool will put their perfect UEFA Champions League record on the line when they host Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

Arne Slot has delivered beyond expectations following the Dutch manager’s move from Feyenoord to replace the great Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

Winning all their UEFA Champions League games so far and sitting eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, it has been the dream start for Klopp’s replacement.

Liverpool’s title credentials in Europe will be put to the test once again on Wednesday night when they host reigning champions Real Madrid.

March 2009 was the last time the Reds beat Los Blancos but perhaps this week can see that wait for a win over the La Liga giants come to an end.

Liverpool vs. Real Madrid betting picks and predictions

Liverpool to win and both teams to score (+220)

Currently on a 14-game unbeaten run in all competitions, Liverpool are one of the in-form teams in Europe right now and have managed to cope with injuries to some key personnel.

Madrid have had injury woes of their own and go into this clash on the back of the news star that forward Vinicius Jr. is facing the next few weeks out with a hamstring injury.

The absence of the Brazilian star will come as a real blow for manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is also without the likes of David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao and Rodrygo, while Aurelien Tchouameni and Lucas Vazquez are both doubts.

Given how Liverpool have been playing in recent weeks, with the Reds currently on a five-game winning streak, there looks to be value in siding with the hosts to win on home soil even if Real do get themselves on the scoresheet at Anfield.

Mohamed Salah anytime goalscorer (+137)

Mohamed Salah has been the hero for Liverpool on countless occasions and the Egypt international is worth considering to pop up with at least one goal.

Salah will head into this on the back of an impressive late brace in a 3-2 win over Southampton in the Premier League at the weekend to help Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the Premier League standings.

Now with 10 league goals in 12 appearances, the 32-year-old, whose future at Anfield remains uncertain amid rumors of contract talks, is showing no signs of slowing down.

Having looked sharp against the Saints, Salah will be eager to get among the goals again on Wednesday and score what would be his 50th UEFA Champions League goal.

Antonio Rudiger to be carded (+333)

With the likes of Salah and Colombian striker Luis Diaz to deal with, Real Madrid centre-back Antonio Rudiger is likely to have his plate full at Anfield.

The former Chelsea defender picked up 33 yellow cards during his time with the west London outfit, showing he has no issue with the physical side of the game.

Already picking up one yellow card in the UEFA Champions League this season, Rudiger is good value to add to his card tally on this one.
