Our betting predictions for Real Madrid vs Liverpool FC match are:
Real Madrid vs Liverpool FC Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Both teams have shown some great attacking football in their recent matches. Real Madrid have now scored in 15 games on the trot. However both teams are still missing some big names in their defensive line, Sergio Ramos being the latest casualty. Thus betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.65 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Karim Benzema is in the form of his life and is the main reason behind Real Madrid’s recent dominance. He has now scored 7 goals in his last 5 matches and thus betting on him to score against an inexperienced Liverpool defence at odds of 2.20 (bet 365) is a really good bet.
Another man in top form is Liverpool’s Diogo Jota. He has now scored 6 goals in his last 4 matches which includes international matches as well. Betting on him to get on the scoresheet at odds of 2.50 (betway) is a pretty safe bet.
Quick Rich
We expect both teams to get a lot of attacks resulting in a lot of corners. Both teams have averaged 5 or more corners this season. However, the teams will still play it safe in this first leg and we do not expect the game to have a lot of goals. Thus betting on the combination of under 2.5 goals and over 9.5 corners at odds of 3.75 (betway) can give you high returns at minimal risk.
Betting on the scoreline is always a good way to earn big. We expect the scoreline to end as a 1-1 draw at odds of 6.50. (bet 365)
Win/Lose/Draw
Liverpool and Real Madrid are the two most successful teams in the Champions league. Both the teams come into this game after a good run of results and will depend on Champions League success to revive their mediocre season, especially Liverpool. Both teams cannot afford a loss and thus we expect this game to end as a draw at odds of 3.40 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Real Madrid are known to start games strongly and thus if they take the lead in the first half , we expect Liverpool to make some attacking substitutes and get a goal back in the second half. Thus betting on Real Madrid to lead in the first half and the match to end as a draw at current odds of 13.00(bet 365) can be a good bet to make during the match.
