In the second round of the UEFA Europa League round of 16, Liverpool will try to complete the seemingly "impossible task" by challenging Real Madrid on the road. In the first round, Liverpool suffered a 2-5 defeat at home, and this matchup originally looked hopeless, but the "Reds" have been on fire lately, having beaten Manchester United 7-1 in the Premier League, showing amazing strength and proving that they have the ability to create miracles. Despite the difficulty of a reversal, Liverpool will attack with all their might and strive for a 3.5-goal win! (Now 643 live at 4am on Thursday)
Despite Liverpool's unexpected loss to Fennymouth in the Premier League, they had to go all out in the UEFA Europa League. In the first leg against Real Madrid, the team showed a furious attacking attitude soon after the start, scoring two goals in 15 minutes, but the mistakes of the back line led to the final defeat. With the return of injured players from the front line, the "trident" of Mohamed Sanaa, Davin Nunes and Gabe has produced a chemical reaction, and with players such as Diego Suarez and Roberto Firmino on standby, the strength of the front line is not to be underestimated.
"The Tridents are back in force, no worries about goals
Liverpool will have to go all out in this game, there's no room for "steady as she goes". They'll be on the attack right from the start, just like they were in the first leg. In fact, Liverpool has been quite aggressive in their UEFA away matches, scoring at least 3 goals in each of their last 5 UEFA away matches, with 4 of them scoring 4 or more, including a 7-1 win against Rangers and a 3-0 win against Ajax, and they are not afraid to play attacking soccer at the Stade de la Barnabe.
Real Madrid are 9 points behind Barcelona in La Liga, and defending the UEFA Europa League has become a more realistic goal. They have also shown a great offense in this year's UEFA competition, with a total of 5 or more goals in their last 3 UEFA matches. Benschmar, who was rested in the La Liga match against Espinoza to save his strength for this match, is expected to capitalize on Liverpool's gaps to gain a lot of counter-attacking chances as his striker line with Wannesios and Zulia is amazingly capable of scoring goals. The two teams are expected to have a fierce battle between offense and defense, and the probability of a goal battle is very high.
