Tip and bets
Liverpool and Real Madrid have already met in the final of the Champions League. Four years ago in Kyiv, Real confidently defeated the British club. Los Blancos are the 13-time champions of the main European club competition; Liverpool have reached nine finals and won six trophies.
This should be an intense and exciting match, but don't expect a large number of goals to be scored here. Probably, the teams will very play carefully on defense, trying to avoid unnecessary mistakes. No more than two goals were scored in 2 of their last 4 head-to-head games, and we predict a similar performance in the upcoming fixture. Take the under.
Our prediction — total under 2.5 goals
Secondly, we predict that we will not learn the name of the new champion in 90 minutes. The game will likely go to extra time or to a penalty shootout, as both sides are in excellent form and will fiercely fight for the title. The previous match between Liverpool and Real Madrid ended in a 0:0 draw.
Second prediction — draw
