Liverpool current condition is certainly very supportive to get 3 points from Real Madrid. But personally I will not underestimate Madrid because we have to remember in the past when Liverpool was favored but it backfired which ended in defeat with an aggregate of 6-2. At least with the new format Liverpool did not play Leg 1 and 2. Real Madrid game is unstable and this is the right time for Arne Slot to design a strategy to beat Ancelotti.
And actually, Real Madrid hasn't lost to Liverpool for quite a long time. And conversely, it has been a long time since Liverpool last managed to beat Real Madrid. So Liverpool currently has a good opportunity to break their record of always losing to Real Madrid in many seasons. I don't even remember when Liverpool won.
But I still agree that we cannot underestimate a strong club like Real Madrid. Because even in the worst conditions, Real Madrid could surprise us by still beating Liverpool. But I noticed that most of us are now starting to prefer Liverpool as favorites for the upcoming match. Because the reasons are understandable. Namely Liverpool is the most solid this season. This is different from Real Madrid, which actually looks unstable throughout this season, especially in the UCL. So I understand why there won't be many people betting on Real Madrid this time.
The two teams has met several times in recent seasons, like you say so far Madrid has still been able to maintain their winning record over Liverpool when they meet in the Champions League, but I think the head to head of the two teams so far certainly cannot be a reference for us to favorite Madrid in the match, indeed we cannot predict the exact result in a match but I think we also must to think realistically if we look at the condition of the two teams today, So far Liverpool has a consistent performance with the support of a sharp attacking line and also a solid defense, while Madrid, who have been superior to Liverpool, are not in their best form this season after their unstable attack and defense, so in this case, I personally tend to favor Liverpool in the match but in betting of course BTTS will be an alternative for me in the match.
