Based on what we see, Liverpool's performance in the last 5 matches has been quite consistent in winning and Real Madrid has lost 2 times in the last 5 matches. In the Champions League, Real Madrid's performance is also a little different this season, unlike previous seasons which were able to achieve a convincing victory in the first round of the UCL, but if you look at the statistics of their meetings so far in the UCL, Madrid has always won matches against Liverpool, let's see if there will be a surprise in their meeting this time.
If you look at the head to head of both teams, Real Madrid is superior, but if you look at the performance of both teams in the Champions League this season, Liverpool is superior, even Liverpool so far is the only team that has managed to achieve perfect results in the Champions League without defeat and without a draw. This match will certainly be interesting to look forward to, there will definitely be a surprise in this match, whether Liverpool will be able to achieve the victory that has been difficult for them to get when playing against Real Madrid, or Real Madrid will make a surprise with limited players due to injuries and their unstable game rhythm.
But actually Liverpool has a great chance to win this match by taking advantage of Real Madrid's current weaknesses. The reason is, Real Madrid is currently experiencing a player crisis due to injuries that have caused 9 of its players to be absent due to fitness problems. Lastly before the international break, Real Madrid added one more injured player, namely Eder Militao which made him absent for the rest of this season. So it can be said that Real Madrid is facing Liverpool with an incomplete squad due to a crisis in the defensive position. If Liverpool can take advantage of Real Madrid's weaknesses like this, I am sure Liverpool can win this match and strengthen their position at the top of the standings.
