Liverpool vs Real Prediction, 03:00 November 5: Shocking at Anfield

TPO - Football commentary Liverpool vs Real, round 4 of the 2025/26 Champions League qualifying round at 03:00 on November 5 - information on squad, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. Liverpool are not in good form, but they are coming back, and the Champions League atmosphere can ignite excitement, making coach Arne Slot and his team create a special night against Real.

Prediction before the match Liverpool vs Real

A 2-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend helped Liverpool put their nightmare October behind them. Not only did they escape the prospect of losing five consecutive Premier League games, Arne Slot's team also re-established their habit of controlling the ball, thereby dominating familiar situations. The positivity was also shown in individual performances, with Mohamed Salah scoring his 250th goal for the club, while Ryan Gravenberch returned to command the midfield.

Although not yet complete, Liverpool are gradually regaining their strength and confidence to be ready to welcome Real in the 4th round of the qualifying round of the Champions League 2025/26. Note that the European atmosphere always brings great excitement to The Reds. In the dark period with failures surrounding them, their only victory was achieved on this front (defeating Eintracht Frankfurt with a score of 5-1 right on the away field).

As for Real, it's no surprise that the 15-time European Cup/Champions League champions are the favourites. Los Blancos are in fine form under the guidance of former Liverpool player Xabi Alonso. However, they're not unbeatable (Atletico have proven that), while Slot and Liverpool know how to surprise.

Form, history of confrontations between Liverpool and Real

Real have beaten Liverpool in two Champions League finals (2018 and 2022). However, in their most recent encounter, in last season's qualifying round, the Reds won 2-0 at Anfield. Notably, also last season, Slot's team defeated Xabi Alonso, who was then leading Leverkusen, with a score of 4-0.

Anfield is also a factor that helps Liverpool's confidence. Of their last 6 defeats, 4 were away. They only lost 2 matches at home (against Crystal Palace and MU), and won 6 matches in all competitions when playing at Anfield. As for Real, their only loss in 14 matches since the beginning of the season was away.

Liverpool vs Real squad information

Gravenberch's return from an ankle injury and Curtis Jones' return to training are welcome news for Liverpool, but Alexander Isak is likely to miss out, as are Alisson Becker, Giovanni Leoni and Jeremie Frimpong.

On Real's side, the experienced defensive trio of Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba are all injured, as is youngster Franco Mastantuono. Former Liverpool player Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered but has been on the bench for the past two games. He will likely continue to sit out and Federico Valverde is once again trusted at right-back.

Liverpool: Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike
