Meeting statistics

The current form of Liverpool F.C.

Starting with the hosts, Liverpool have had a remarkable ascent since Arne Slot’s arrival, despite the fact that many people at Anfield may have been devastated by Jürgen Klopp’s departure over the summer. The “Reds” have continued to win sympathies from all around the world, especially when they provide performances such as the one last Sunday, when they mounted a second-half comeback away at Southampton and ultimately left St. Mary’s with an exciting 3-2 triumph.

With an impressive eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League standings, the former Feyenoord manager has watched his team lose only once in 18 games in all competitions. Liverpool should be looking forward to returning to Anfield midweek after besting German powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 in their most recent European match. In the UCL standings, Liverpool are also at the top, but here they only made a two-point buffer zone to the second-placed Sporting Lisbon.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, a full-back linked to a move to Real Madrid this summer, is out indefinitely and has no specific comeback date. Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota are both out until the middle of next month. Although he’s getting close to rejoining the starting eleven, Álisson is probably going to stay out.

The current form of Real Madrid CF

Regarding the guests, Real Madrid may have been in the middle of a fierce battle when they opened in November, but they’ve recently regained some stability. Carlo Ancelotti’s team will now understand the significance of securing a crucial European boost after returning from the two-week break with a resounding 3-0 victory away at Leganés.

The reigning champions have only scored six points from their first four games, placing them 18th. Their most recent Champions League performance was a 1-3 loss at home versus Milan. Even though Wednesday night’s matchup at Anfield will be extremely difficult, “Los Blancos” will be motivated by their impressive record versus the hosts. Real Madrid are undefeated in all eight of their previous matches with Liverpool, including a 6-2 aggregate victory in their most recent face-off in March 2023. Even so, they are underdogs against Liverpool: 3.880 on Parasino; Liverpool are 1.880.

This week, Ancelotti must deal with a number of injury concerns. Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão are both gone for the season, and David Alaba isn’t anticipated to return until January. Rodrygo might only be well enough for a bench spot at Anfield, but Lucas Vázquez might be healthy enough to start.

Head-to-head

The tide has swung against Liverpool after they defeated Real Madrid three times in a row from 1981 to 2009. The English team is winless in their last eight head-to-head matches, losing to the Spanish powerhouses seven times in a row. “Los Blancos” have actually won more games versus the “Reds” than any other team in European competitions. During this run, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool in the 2018 and 2022 championship games. The last time the two teams played at Anfield was in a final-16 first leg in 2023, when Real Madrid emerged victorious 5-2.

Match analytics

There are arguments for each of the three scenarios when a spectacular Champions League matchup like this one is scheduled. Liverpool’s attacking players have been playing well so far this season and have earned a reputation for their free-scoring exploits in the final third. The “Reds” will try to defeat the reigning champions for the first time since March 2009 in a competitive match. “Los Blancos” have only kept two clean sheets on the road this season, and Real Madrid’s defensive issues may prove difficult to ignore. Attacking-wise, they will likely net in this match, but that won’t help them much. All of these point to one conclusion: Slot’s wards will set an early standard for success in Europe.
