Liverpool v Atletico Madrid – Wednesday, 8pm
Punters can bet on Liverpool v Atletico Madrid with William Hill
- Liverpool are yet to hit the heights of last season but they are doing exactly what champions do and that’s finding ways to win the game. They’ve won all of their first four Premier League games but they’ve left it late in each of those.
- The Reds will be looking to claim their seventh UEFA Champions League trophy and are among the favourites to do just that, they’ve won their last fourteen UEFA club competition group games at Anfield, scoring two or more goals in the last thirteen of those outings.
- These two sides have faced each other four times in the UCL since 2020, the Reds have won three of those and have won their last four Champions League group stage fixtures against Spanish opposition, most recently against Real Madrid and Girona in the previous campaign.
——————————– - It’s been a tough start to the new campaign for Atletico Madrid which has seen their long-serving manager Diego Simeone under a little bit of pressure, they were without a win from their first three La Liga games but head to Merseyside having picked up their first three points on Saturday against Villarreal.
- Atleti will be up against it though if their record against English sides is anything to go by, the Spanish side have won just one of their last eight UCL matches against English opposition, whilst they’ve never beaten an English team in a UEFA group stage game.
- Diego Simone’s side have scored in fifteen of their last sixteen group/league phase matches and should get chances against this Liverpool defence, although i’m expecting Liverpool to get their campaign off to a perfect start.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Liverpool To Win, Liverpool 2-1 Atletico Madrid.
