Liverpool - Real Madrid
This will be another opportunity for Liverpool to play against Real Madrid. Liverpool has been doing great in the champions league, they will have a better opportunity this time to win against Real Madrid who also have been very good both in the champions league and their local league. Even without Benzema, Real Madrid still have lots of players who have good goal scoring ability. Even If injuries scatter the teams from the world cup, I will still pick Real Madrid over Liverpool.
Dortmund - Chelsea
This is the end of the road for Chelsea in the Champions League unfortunately. Dortmund over Chelsea.
For some reason, in a pair of Liverpool - Real, everyone prefers Liverpool, although in fact Real is a team with character, its not just that last year they went through PSG and beat the same Liverpool in the Champions League in the final.
I wouldnt write off Chelsea right away either, I think they have good chances to beat Borussia. I would just say that in a pair of Borussia - Chelsea Chelsea is a favorite.
Liverpool need to have a good tactics on how to play Madrid not their same old way of playing. This season Liverpool is still struggling to be on top four,though they won their away match against Tottenham yesterday. This is not an assurance that they will do better against Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are strong this season this club always take any of their UCL matches very serious and they have only lost to Leipzig this season. They shall be playing their best football with Liverpool and will not want to loose the game since they know Liverpool's capacity. Its just too early for these two clubs to meet, this match can not be predicted because Champion League is full of surprises. To my own I guess Real Madrid is at the better side to win Liverpool.
