Real Madrid is set to square off against Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 at 4 p.m. ET March 15th at Santiago Bernabéu. The winner will be decided by the aggregate score of two legs.

Last year, Real Madrid is the reigning Champions League champion after winning last year's final 1-0 against the Reds. As for Liverpool, they were one match away from winning it all, losing to Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League final.

Liverpool have a tall task ahead of them. They enter the second leg of their Champions League showdown with Real Madrid down three goals after losing 5-2 in the opening leg. Now they'll have to overcome their struggles away from home in a major way to advance to the last eight. The Reds have shown that they can score goals in bunches, wiping aside Manchester United 7-0 but then they went and lost 1-0 to Bournemouth showcasing why they only have three away victories in Premier League play.

But Real Madrid also haven't been infallible, only winning one of their last four games following the first leg victory over Liverpool. Los Blancos have dealt with an uncharacteristic scoring drought. Facing top La Liga sides like Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Betis, they only scored one goal before breaking out to score three against Espanyol. It's hard to tell which Real Madrid side will show up to a match and that alone makes this a fascinating clash.

Real Madrid will defend a three-goal lead in the round-of-16 second leg against Liverpool after a 5-2 win in England on Feb. 21 in which the defending champions rallied from an early 2-0 deficit. No away team has ever erased a three-goal loss from the first leg in the Champions League, and only five times the team that lost at home rallied in the second leg.

With Liverpool in dire need of goals and pushing the action, Real Madrid should find plenty of chances to counterattack and score. Real Madrid also should benefit from being home, where it has scored at least twice in 12 of its 17 home games this season.

Since Feb. 13, Liverpool is 4-2-1, with a 7-0 win over Manchester United and 2-0 victories over Everton and Newcastle. Over that same stretch, Real Madrid is 4-1-2, including a 3-1 victory over Espanyol this past Saturday and the 5-2 comeback win over Liverpool.

Real Madrid: Finally putting an end to their scoring woes against Espanyol couldn't have come at a better time for Real Madrid. Only without Ferland Mendy and David Alaba, Carlo Ancelotti will have a full squad to choose from, most importantly meaning that Aurelien Tchouameni will be at the base of the midfield. Tchouameni has become one of the most important players for Los Blancos this season and by pulling the strings, the team will have a more balanced attack with him in midfield.

Liverpool: In midfield, Klopp will have a few worries in this match. Thiago was already sidelined but Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson and Stefan Bajcetic will all miss the match leading to a likely pairing of Harvey Elliott and Fabinho behind a band of attackers. Joe Gomez, Luis Diaz and Calvin Ramsay will also miss the match.

After missing a penalty against Bournemouth, Mohamed Salah will look for a bounce back performance but he'll need support from Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez to do that.

When Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool team travels to Real Madrid for the Round of 16 second leg matchup, they are in a Champions League survival battle.

Last month, Los Blancos completely destroyed Liverpool at Anfield, winning the first leg 5-2 to put the holders in the quarterfinals and Liverpool on the edge of elimination.

Los Blancos fired a message over their title defence, with an impressive 5-2 Round of 16 first leg win at Anfield last month, and they will be confident of getting the job done on home soil.

Real Madrid's possible starting lineup: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Nacho, Modric, Tchouameni, and Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, and Vinicius Jr.

Liverpool's possible starting lineup: Alisson, Fabinho, Keita, Salah, Jota, Nunez, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Gakpo
