Prediction: Liverpool 1-2 Real Madrid
Liverpool has picked up some momentum while Madrid have slightly recovered from their iffy form. It’s two competitive teams meeting at the Round of 16.
Madrid’s issues in mid-field could be attacked on by Liverpool but the hosts’ overall form will be seriously tested.
The UCL is Real Madrid’s home in terms of competitiveness and we can see them edging this clash despite it being in one of Europe’s toughest stadiums, Anfield.
Players to watch out for: Gakpo, Henderson, Vinicius and Modric.
