The odds puts Real Madrid as underdog. That makes sense as they lost many key players. They lost almost all their main defenders. This put them at great risk in the away game against Liverpool.
In other hand, Liverpool is on fire now. They never lose, and have perfect GD (Scored 10, conceded 1). It makes sense if bookies favored them to win in their home game against Real Madrid. Salah, Diaz, and even Curtis are at their peak. They will make Real Madrid struggle.
I knew you were worried about how Madrid always turned things around when they were behind. But, this time is different. What can you expect from Real Madrid without Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, or even Courtois? They don't even have good RB left at this moment, and i think its gonna be ez game for Liverpool.
I agree that Liverpool is more favored in this meeting against Madrid this season, besides Madrid's condition, Liverpool is favored to play at Anfield and is also in very good form. I agree with what you said, if Madrid's defensive line situation is a big concern. but this is a big match, maybe Madrid can overcome the problems they are experiencing. it's just that the question is, does Don Carlo have a way for his team to play optimally or even be able to get full points. the answer is, nothing is certain, we just wait for this match to be held. however, if we look at the odds available, from my point of view Madrid still has a chance to win this match. with the scenario, they have to work hard. midfielders will be heavily relied on in this match, whether it's helping to build attacks or defending. that way, maybe Madrid can freely win this match. after all, Madrid has a qualified front line and has been tested for productivity in scoring goals. on the other hand, Liverpool can take advantage of this momentum to overthrow Madrid and break the bad record based on H2H. for me, this match is interesting for us to look forward to.
