Time: 2024-11-28 04:00
Liverpool, under the leadership of Slott, has performed very strongly this season. In the last round of the league, Southampton won 5 consecutive matches. Currently, it is at the top of the league, beating popular teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal. They have also performed well in the Champions League. The team has won all 4 games and is temporarily ranked third in the standings with 1 round in hand. During this period, they scored 10 goals and conceded 1 goal. They have shown a very high level on both offense and defense, and they have played at a very high level in the past 3 games. They have completed zero seals in every Champions League game, and their defense has been flawless recently. Liverpool’s home performance is very strong and they are currently in the midst of 7 consecutive wins in the main match, including two UEFA Champions League home wins with zero seals, Bologna and Leverkusen. The star player Salah scored twice in the last round of the league. He has scored 12 goals and 10 assists in 18 games so far. He is the first player in the five major leagues to reach double figures in offensive statistics this season. However, he made controversial remarks on the contract renewal issue after the last round of league games, which may affect the atmosphere within the Liverpool team. In terms of personnel, Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson, forward Jota and winger Chiesa are still absent due to injuries. Core Arnold has a hamstring injury and will be evaluated before the game whether to play.
Real Madrid defeated Leganes 3-0 in the last league away game and ushered in their second consecutive victory. However, the team’s performance this season is hardly outstanding. Currently, they are currently 4 points behind Barcelona in second place in the league. In the Champions League, the team achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses in the first 4 games of the league stage, ranking 21st. During the period, the team scored 9 goals and conceded 7 goals in 4 games. The defensive end was not a small problem. Real Madrid’s away performance was not ideal. They lost to French Ligue 1 team Lille in their first away game in the Champions League this season. They were also tied with weaker teams such as Las Palmas and Mallorca in the league. After joining Real Madrid this season, Mbappe’s performance at the center position has been slightly sluggish, and he has been unable to fully integrate into the team. Bellingham, who performed well last season, has more defensive tasks this season. Little contribution on the offensive end. Real Madrid is currently plagued by injuries, including Courtois; defenders Carvajal, Alaba, and Militão; midfielder Chuameni; forward Vinicius is absent due to injury, and Rodrigo will play. suspect.
The two sides have met 5 times in the past 3 years. Real Madrid has an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 1 draw. In addition, their most recent visit to Anfield was a 5-2 victory. They have an absolute advantage in historical encounters. Liverpool are in hot form this season, and their recent performance has been very strong. On the other hand, the content and results of Real Madrid’s games this season are not particularly good, and they are still in the midst of a two-game losing streak in the Champions League. Liverpool is bound to have the ball in this game, but Real Madrid is good at defensive counterattacks. Mbappe will give Liverpool a lot of trouble in this game. I hope Real Madrid will score points away from home!
