Recent formLiverpool were impressive in their last league game against Southampton with Mohamed Salah being impressive for the Reds. The result means that Liverpool have now scored at least two goals in each of their last six matches across all competitions.
Real Madrid’s form in the league have not been bad but they play second fiddle to Barcelona who currently lead the Spanish league but the Galacticos last game ended 3-0 against Leganes.
