Why RB Leipzig is a good bet versus Real Madrid

Leipzig had been playing terrible soccer but in their last before this past weekend’s matchup, RBL dusted a decent team in Union Berlin 2-0.

The victory is a sign that Leipzig’s form has turned the corner. Also, although Leipzig had lost 4 straight in their last form cycle, the losses were against top competition: Frankfurt, Bundesliga leader Leverkusen, and Stuttgart.

Why Real Madrid is a good bet versus RB Leipzig

Real’s lone hiccups in their last form cycle were against one of their top rivals, Atletico Madrid. Atletico beat Real 4-2 to start the cycle and then drew with Real 1-1 to end the cycle.

Three wins over Almeria, Las Palmas, and Getafe prove that Real Madrid has what it takes to go into Leipzig and beat RBL. In addition, Ancelotti wants to put this aggregate to bed right away. So don’t be surprised if Real goes for the knockout punch in the first leg.

Final Betting Analysis: RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid

Leipzig is good enough to play Real to a draw. However, Leipzig’s form still requires some work. The bottom line in this is that although Leipzig is a decent soccer club, their roster doesn’t stand up to Real Madrid’s.

Valverde, Diaz, Camavinga, Bellingham, and Kroos man the middle and play the forward positions. All five can make their own shot and are terrific at setting up their teammates.

This is the time of the year when Real kicks it into gear. Expect El Blanco to score the road win.

Why Liverpool is a good bet versus Real Madrid

After a draw and a pair of losses, Real has turned around the form in their last 2. Real drew 0-0 versus Chelsea and then lost 2 straight versus Brighton & Hove and Wolverhampton.

But since the draw and losses, El Blanco has played great soccer, beating Everton 2-0 and besting Newcastle 2-0. The victory over Newcastle impresses big time because Newcastle has played well this season in the Premier League.

Not only that, but in the victory, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo scored goals, which is a sign the Reds are finally gelling.

Why Real Madrid is a good bet versus Liverpool

Real isn’t just winning, they’re dominating opponents. El Blanco has outscored their last 4 opponents a combined 15 goals to 4.

Real allowed 3 goals in the FIFA Club World Cup Final versus Al Hilal. Since conceding the 3 goals in the 5-3 victory over Al Hilal, Real has kept Osasuna and Elche from scoring.

For sure, Pool is a step up from Real’s recent opponents. But during the run, Karim Benzema didn’t play in every match. Real’s top players should be well-rested for this.

Final Betting Analysis: Liverpool vs. Real Madrid

Speaking of Benzema, he’s back to playing lights out. In his last 2 games played, Benzema has rocked with a goal against Al Hilal and a goal versus Elche.

Karim has played in 5 matches since Jan. 26. He should be more than healthy enough to show his best against a Frankfurt side that yielded 3 goals against Cologne.

The reason Carlo Ancelotti can rest Benzema so much is because the team is much deeper than just Karim. Luka Modric is playing great, Vinicius Junior, Marco Asensio, Francisco Valverde and even Eden Hazard should help Real secure the regulation victory.

Liverpool is playing well. But Real owns the Champions League. The club has won more titles than any other. Expect Benzema to break down Pool’s defense in what should be at least a 1-goal victory.

Champions League Pick: Real Madrid +196
