The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Liverpool lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important clash at Anfield on Tuesday.

Liverpool are currently in 8th position in the Premier league table and they have hard a very rough campaign this season. They fell short of expectations and have been performing below their usual. They have struggled to find goals this season, and have only managed to score 38, while at teh back, they have shipped away 28 goals, showing just how much problems they currently have. In their last five games, Liverpool failed to win in 3 occasions, suffering 2 defeats and one draw. Going into this game, they will not be too confident of taking something from this game.

Real Madrid on the other hand, will head into this game on the back of a 2-game winning streak and they will be looking to extend that run. They sit in 2nd position in the La Liga standings with 51 points, and that shows just how good they have been this season. On the attack, they have been ruthless as they have scored 46 goals this season, making them the best attack in La Liga. At the back, they have been equally solid and impressive, as they have conceded just 17 goals all season, making them the second best defense in the league.

Looking at the records have shown that Real Madrid have the clear advantage going into this game. Real Madrid have an impressive record against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League and have won five of the nine matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Liverpool's three victories. Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last three away games against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League and have kept clean sheets in their last two such matches. Additionally, Liverpool are winless in their last six matches against Real Madrid. We are backing the visitors, Real Madrid, here as we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat by either securing a victory or by earning a draw.

本周，欧冠联赛又开始了新一轮的比赛，利物浦将于周二在安菲尔德与卡洛·安切洛蒂的皇家马德里队展开一场重要的交锋。

利物浦目前在英超积分榜上排名第8，他们本赛季的比赛非常艰难。他们没有达到预期，表现一直低于正常水平。本赛季他们一直在努力寻找进球，只进了38个球，而在后面，他们已经送出了28个进球，这表明他们目前有多少问题。在过去的5场比赛中，利物浦有3场比赛未能取得胜利，遭遇2负1平。进入这场比赛，他们不会太有信心从这场比赛中获得什么。

另一方面，皇马将带着两连胜进入本场比赛，他们将寻求延续这一势头。他们在西甲积分榜上以51分排名第二，这表明他们本赛季的表现有多好。在进攻方面，他们非常无情，本赛季他们已经打进46球，成为西甲最好的进攻球队。在后防线上，他们同样坚固而令人印象深刻，因为他们整个赛季只丢了17球，这使他们成为联赛第二好的防守。

从记录来看，皇马在这场比赛中拥有明显的优势。皇马在欧冠联赛中对阵利物浦的战绩令人印象深刻，两队之间的9场比赛中，皇马赢了5场，而利物浦则赢了3场。皇马最近3次客场对阵利物浦保持不败，最近2次客场零封对手。此外，利物浦在最近6场对阵皇马的比赛中一场未胜。我们在这里支持客队皇家马德里，因为我们希望他们能够通过确保胜利或获得平局来避免失败。
