Liverpool will play at home, and they are the favorite on the Champions League 2024 betting odds, but they will be wary of their opponents as they lost 5-2 at home to Madrid last time. Real Madrid’s odds to win is set at 4.00 (3/1), while a draw is worth 3.75 (11/4).
The Reds have a poor record against Real Madrid, failing to beat the Spaniards on eight different occasions. The Blancos beat the Merseyside team in two UCL finals in the last decade, but they are underdogs on Liverpool vs Real Madrid odds.
After four games, Liverpool is the best team in the Champions League this season, and they are the only team with a perfect record. Mohammed Salah and Co have been ruthless this season, and they also lead the standings in the Premier League. It’s been a dream start to life for Arne Slot, and he has another chance to endear himself to the Liverpool faithful. The comeback win against Southampton was Liverpool’s fifth consecutive win, and they are in good spirits for this tie vs Madrid.
Trent Alexander Arnold has been out for a few weeks, and Conor Bradley is the chosen fullback in his absence. Caoimhin Kelleher is also another player who has stepped up in Alison Becker’s absence, and he’s expected to start in between the sticks.
Real Madrid couldn’t build on their UCL form after the sensational 5-2 win over Dortmund, losing 3-1 at home to AC Milan in their next game. The Whites have won their last two games, scoring at least three goals, but both those matches were against Osasuna and Leganes. Real Madrid will face a tougher test at Anfield, and with the new format, they need to get back to their best to avoid the playoffs. Jude Bellingham is getting more action in the final third, and he could be very decisive for Los Blancos on Wednesday.
Thibaut Courtois has returned to the squad, and he is one player Carlo Ancelotti will be happy to have back. Dani Carvajal and David Alaba are ruled out of the season, while Vinicius will miss the game due to the injury. Rodrygo Goes has resumed group training, and he will be one to watch for the Liverpool vs Real Madrid betting tips.

Arne Slot has one of the best starts among the managers in Liverpool’s history, and they are top favorites to win both the Premier League and Champions League. They have dropped points at home only once this season in a shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Liverpool are a different side this season, and not only are they great in attack, they have been very good at defending. Real Madrid has lost their last two games vs top teams, and they will struggle against Arne Slot’s side. LFC betting odds for a win are valuable, and they should be able to score at least two goals alongside getting all three points.

Liverpool’s defense has been a key part of their spectacular performance this season, and they have conceded just one goal in the Champions League. Real Madrid scored just one goal at home against AC Milan, and they failed to find the back of the net last time away from home against Lille. The Reds haven’t conceded at home in the UCL, and they can limit Madrid to under 1.5 goals. Backing this option has good value on the Liverpool vs Real Madrid predictions.

Mohammed Salah bagged a brace to save his team from what would have been an embarrassing defeat. The Egyptian forward has scored ten goals in 12 PL games, and he has a personal vendetta against Real Madrid after his injury in the 2018 UCL final. Another player who is poised to shine in this game is Jude Bellingham. Real Madrid’s number 5 was the best player in Spain last season, and he has scored in his last two games for the Whites. Backing Mohammed Salah and Jude Bellingham to score is a good offer on legal football betting apps in 2024.
