The Merseyside derby victory over Everton (2:0) was a turning point in the current competition for the Reds, who managed to hit Newcastle United twice in the first half last weekend. These goals eventually brought a second victory in a row and the hope of returning to the fight for one of the places in the UEFA tournament zone. Over 22 rounds, the Reds have chalked up ten victories and five peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 35 points and eighth position in the standings. Fans are looking forward to the visit to Anfield of Real Madrid, which has a lot of fans not only in Liverpool, but throughout Britain. In recent years rivals have played five head-to-head matches, in which they won four times and only one duel ended in a draw. Moreover, the state of the Reds is still under a huge question. The defense looks especially dull, having missed in seven of the last ten home matches. There are losses in the composition of the hosts. Nunes, Konate, Thiago, Ramsay, Diaz and Artur, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to help the team today.
In the last match Real Madrid entered the field without Karim Benzema, after the Frenchman moved into second place in the list of the Spanish club’s top scorers, bringing his tally to 230 goals scored. The forward scored this record in a duel with Elche (4:0). The game against Osasuna was dictated by the reigning champion, who beat the Pamplonians dry on all lines, which resulted in 51 points and the second position in the standings. In addition, the “whites” are still the first in the league in terms of the quality of the attack, which differed 46 times. At the same time, the capital conceded less than one goal per duel. It is impossible not to remember this month’s victory at the Club World Cup, where the team scored nine times in two matches and defeated Al Khilil (5:3) in the championship final. Chuameni, Mendy, Kroos, Diaz and Benzema, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to take part in this fight. More success soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
