Liverpool have the advantage of being the host, apart from their slightly more consistent performance than Real Madrid at this time. Player injuries have affected Real Madrid chances of getting full points, and perhaps Liverpool will take advantage of this to get revenge and improve their previous meeting record. Regardless, beating Real Madrid is not an easy job, Arne Slot needs to work hard to do it. The match feels very important for Real Madrid, losing points will make their steps towards the last 16 even more difficult.
No one expected Arne Slott to be able to do his job very well, he managed to lead Liverpool to the top of the Premier League and Champions League standings. Real Madrid will be a tough test for them, and it can be said that the match is basically difficult to predict.
Liverpool is currently in a fairly safe situation in the UCL. Because they have never lost in this phase. So I think Liverpool will play without pressure and they can play better thanks to the calm they will have. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will really play with a lot of pressure. Because they have to win and collect points so they can increase their chances of qualifying for the next stage. And it would be very bad if Real Madrid lost points again in the match against Liverpool. Because Real Madrid could be pushed out of the play-off zone. Madrid currently only has 6 points and is very different from Liverpool who have collected 12 points. And yes, Liverpool's position as host will also benefit Liverpool. And Liverpool certainly also has the ambition to end their losing record so far when facing Real Madrid.
