When Real Madrid and Liverpool meet in the second leg of the Champions League last 16, all attention will be on Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Following their dominant 5-2 win against Jurgen Klopp’s team at Anfield, Los Blancos are determined to defend their lead.
Antonio Rudiger, who came on as a substitute in the 3-1 win over Espanyol, is vying for a starting position, and Karim Benzema has recuperated from an ankle injury. David Alaba is expected to begin on the bench.
In contrast, the Reds face a daunting challenge in Madrid as they strive to overcome a three-goal deficit.
Nevertheless, with Liverpool likely to take an offensive approach in Wednesday’s game, betting on over 2.5 goals could be a wise option.
Luis Diaz, Thiago Alcantara, Calvin Ramsay, and Joe Gomez are all injured and will not be playing, while Naby Keita is doubtful.
