Real Madrid vs Liverpool Champions League - November 4, 2014

After a rather weak start of the season, Real Madrid are back on track again. Because after three losses in their first 6 games, they are now unbeaten for almost 2 months. In the Champions League, they had a great start from the beginning. 3 games are thru and they won all of them, with an impressive scoring balance of 10:2. Especially Benzema (3 goals) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2 goals) were able to impress. It seems like it doesn’t matter wheter they play at home or on the road. But performing at the Santiago Bernabeu, they have perfect stats. They won all of their last 8 games there. The only bad news come from Bale, who is still injured and not ready to join his team against Liverpool.

Last season, Liverpool FC was unlucky at the end and missed to win the Premier League title closely but this time, they are struggling in the League as well as in the CL. After 3 match days, they have lost 2 times and won only their season premier against Ludogorets. This win was followed by a defeat from Basel (0:1) and the 0:3 loss against Real Madrid. Remarkable is the fact, that Liverpool has problems with scoring goals. After 10 match days of the Premier League, they have only scored 13 times. At the same moment last season, they had already scored 17 times. Without Suarez and an injured Sturridge, they don’t have a striker to rely on. Another fact which speaks against Liverpool is that they have only won 2 out of their last 5 international games on the road. 3 of these games have been lost.

Probable lineups:
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo; Modric, Kroos; James Rodriguez, Isco, Ronaldo; Benzema
Liverpool (4-3-2-1): Mignolet; Manquillo, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno; Gerrard, Henderson, Allen; Lallana, Sterling; Balotelli
