ANALYSIS LIVERPOOL VS REAL MADRID
Liverpool isn’t under heavy pressure to win. A draw is enough to reclaim the "top spot" in the Champions League. Despite this, they’ve been bet down to around 1.80 odds, even with a crucial league match against Man City looming this weekend. For me, there’s good value on a draw here.
Luis Diaz – Operating from the left wing, he could have a "field day" given Real Madrid’s struggles at right-back.
Jude Bellingham – Was strongly linked to Liverpool when his departure from Dortmund was imminent but ultimately landed at Real Madrid. Will he haunt Anfield tonight?
ANALYSIS BOLOGNA VS LILLE:
Bologna remains winless. They haven’t even scored a goal! But could this finally be the turning point?
Once again, they host French opposition.
Their last attempt against Monaco (0–1) didn’t go well, as Thijs Dalinga came off the bench and managed just one shot.
Dalinga scored 26 goals in Ligue 1 (over two seasons) for Toulouse before moving to Serie A this season. While he hasn’t found his groove yet, the talent is undeniable. He fared well against Lille in the past, with two goals and an assist in four matches. Lille has also allowed significantly more chances than Monaco in Ligue 1 this fall.
ANALYSIS:
Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in training for Liverpool, but all signs suggest he’ll be rested for this weekend’s big game against Man City. Young Conor Bradley made his first PL start of the season over the weekend and was booked right away. Today, he’ll have to deal with Kylian Mbappé...
Dortmund has a favorable matchup, and Pascal Gross, who handles most of their set-pieces, should get plenty of chances to warm up his right foot. Several strong headers in the squad to aim for.
Girona hasn’t been as strong as last season, but they’re starting to return to a more functional base play. They frequently use the flanks when attacking—39% of their La Liga attacks have come down the right wing. Sturm Graz will be under heavy pressure. Malick Yalcouye covers huge areas in midfield, has impressive stamina, and frequently drops back to support the full-backs. He’s on a yellow card and might miss the next round due to suspension.
