With all eyes on Anfield on Tuesday night, Liverpool will host Real Madrid in the red half of Merseyside for what will be a heavyweight Champions League showdown.
Affirming what was essential domestic momentum over the weekend, Arne Slot’s men are desperately searching for crucial recent stability as they turn their attention back to European action here.
While Los Blancos may have only just entered a new era over the summer, Madrid have come flying out of the traps since the 2025/26 campaign opened and should enjoy a trip to Merseyside in midweek.
Ahead of what should be a dramatic European showdown on Tuesday night, we’ve taken a look at some of the most attractive betting tips between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Madrid seeks to take a heavyweight scalp
While Xabi Alonso may have only arrived in the Spanish capital over the summer, Real Madrid are clearly enjoying life under the former Bayer Leverkusen boss.
Last seen over the weekend putting in another dominant display as they cruised to a 4-0 home win against Valencia, Los Blancos are leading the race to the top of the La Liga standings and have their sights firmly set on reclaiming their domestic crown this season.
Closing out October with an impressive 2-1 victory against bitter local rivals Barcelona, Alonso’s side have won their previous six consecutive appearances in all competitions by an aggregate score of 16-2.
Also worth noting is that Madrid have won 13 of their first 14 competitive appearances since the 2025/26 campaign opened and are considered a top European contender this year.
One of five clubs that can boast a 100% start to their Champions League adventure, Alonso’s high-flying side will be sure to make a heavyweight statement on foreign soil here.

Mbappé’s record play
While Kylian Mbappé may not have claimed a single trophy in his first campaign at the Bernabeu last season, the French captain has continued to break a number of records since arriving in the Spanish capital.
To further underline his status as Madrid’s top performer, the former PSG goalscorer has enjoyed a sensational start and is arguably the most attractive number nine on the entire continent.
Mbappé, who scored a brace in La Liga against Valencia on Saturday, has scored 13 goals in his first 11 La Liga games and the future Ballon d’Or winner has also enjoyed a real European run.
Including a famous Champions League hat-trick against European debutants Kairat Almaty on September 30, the 26-year-old has scored five goals in his first three games on the continent.
Mbappé, who will play a leading role in Madrid’s bid to win their 16th European crown this season, will be confident in exploiting a Liverpool defense that has continued to show some real problems.

Liverpool seeks crucial stability
Claiming what was a vital boost in the Premier League over the weekend when they recorded a 2-0 win against Aston Villa, Liverpool will be desperate to use that brave performance as a platform to build on.
However, despite finding a route back to the bronze medal among England’s elite, Slot’s team have come under serious scrutiny either side of the October international break and are already seven points behind runaway leaders Arsenal.
Facing an uphill battle in the race to defend his national crown this year, the former Feyenoord boss has seen his team lose six of their previous eight appearances in all competitions.
Having been knocked out of the EFL Cup last week after a shock 3-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace, it is no secret that the Premier League giants have continued to show some worrying issues at the back.
Including an action-packed 3-2 defeat against Brentford on October 25, Liverpool have recorded just one clean sheet since mid-September.
