Liverpool vs Real Madrid
Liverpool will look to continue their excellent form when they host fellow European giants Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday at 8pm (UK time). The Reds have lost just once all season across all competitions and have won all four of their Champions League matches to sit top of the table. Defending champions Real Madrid, meanwhile, have suffered a much worse start to the campaign, losing against both Lille and AC Milan to sit 18th in the Champions League, while they trail Barcelona by four points in La Liga.
Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 goals (8/11 with Sky Bet)
Real Madrid are currently on a run of six matches in a row which have gone over 2.5 goals. In addition, three of their four Champions League matches have gone over 2.5 goals, and both teams soored in all of those three matches as well. As for Liverpool, they have scored at least twice in their last seven Premier League matches and have scored ten goals in their four Champions League matches too.
Mohamed Salah to assist (9/4 with Sky Bet)
Mohamed Salah has four assists to his name in this season’s Champions League, more than any other player. The Egyptian also has six assists in the Premier League in twelve matches, so the price here looks to be a good value pick.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid odds
How both teams go into Liverpool vs Real Madrid
As mentioned, Liverpool are enjoying an incredible start to life under Arne Slot. The Reds are top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables while still going strong in the EFL Cup, with the earliest whisperings of a treble or even a quadruple starting to flow from the Anfield terraces. Liverpool won each of their final four games before the international break, including a 4-0 thrashing of German champions Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield. The Reds returned from the international break with a topsy-turvy 3-2 victory over Southampton, with Mohamed Salah showing that he is as ready as ever for the fight with two key goals.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have endured a stuttering start to the campaign, sitting second in La Liga and way down in 18th in the Champions League with two wins and two defeats. Los Blancos were crushed 3-1 at home by AC Milan in their last European outing, but recovered to thrash Osasuna 4-0 just before the international break. A facile away win at Leganes was a a good way to return to action, and Carlo Ancelotti will hope his players can inspire some confidence ahead of what might well be their toughest game of the season.
