Liverpool vs Realmadrid
Uefa Champions League 1st knock-out round 2nd leg, 20h45
This is such an interesting game to watch. It will be so tight. But still, I have made up my mind on the outcome.
Liverpool have a one goal cushion from the first leg played at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Benitez is known for his tactical approach to the game and the manner in which his troops grind out results. Benayoun is injured for the Reds, while Fernando Torres will play a part in this game only if his presence is needed, as he is recovering from an ankle injury. Daniel Agger is also out. Gerrard will be the best man for the hosts once again.
Realmadrid are trying to get something from this one. Raul has called this match the game of the season, marking that they have to score twice. Juande Ramos will field his best eleven tonight, as he welcomes back defender Pepe from suspension. Robben is fully recovered from injury.
This will be a very entertaining match, with the Spanish giants attacking and Liverpool pushing forward all the time. We will witness outstanding goalkeeping from two of the best keepers in the world, Pepe Reina and Iker Casillas.
I reckon Liverpool are strong favourites for this clash. Still,
I tip this match to finish with under 2.5 goals. The price is 3/5.
