Liverpool vs Real Madrid Bet Builder Tip

Real Madrid to win Karim Benzema to score Over 2 goals in the match ODDS – 13/2 with Bet365

Real Madrid to win

Liverpool have somewhat picked up of late, winning their last two games in the Premier League. However, I think Real Madrid will have too much for the Reds in this one in the Champions League. This should be a cracking fixture between two masters of this competition, and I expect it to be end to end at Anfield with both teams going all out attack. I think this will leave Liverpool exposed at the back, giving Madrid the opportunity to exploit their defence and get on the front foot from the get go. Madrid have won each of their last four fixtures in all competitions, scoring 15 goals in the process, and I think their strong form will continue and they’ll pick up the win in this one.

Karim Benzema to score

Karim Benzema is widely regarded as one of the best goalscorers of his generation, and he has performed incredibly in the Champions League for Real Madrid over the years. He has scored three goals in their last four games in all competitions, and has bagged 11 goals in his 13 La Liga appearances this season. I think he will have plenty of opportunities in this one and I expect him to convert at least one of these chances in what will be a high tense atmosphere between two teams with a history against each other in this competition.

Over 2 goals in the match

Given the way I expect both teams to set up, I think we’re likely to see plenty of goals in this fixture. Madrid have scored 15 in their last four fixtures bagging 4, 5, 4 and two in these matches. Liverpool have scored exactly two goals in their last two fixtures, and this one will be a fast paced encounter with Liverpool expected to employ their classic pressing, counter attacking style of play, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jurgen Klopp’s side on the scoresheet. However, I think Madrid will outscore the hosts and I think there will be comfortably more than two goals.
