Liverpool - Atletico Madrid

Champions League
Liverpool's last 5 competitive games have offered 21 goals. In the same period, 18 goals have been scored in Atlético's matches. The Reds are mainly driven by the Egyptian goalscorer Mohamed Salah, who has 13 matches in the season in which he scored 15 times and assisted 6 more goals to his teammates. The home side haven't lost yet this season, but they are coming off a wild weekend with Brighton, where it was far from over. A 2-0 lead turned into a 2-2 draw and it didn't take much to inflict just the first defeat of the season. It's full on in the Champions League so far, and a win could see them progress significantly to the next stage. They are leading the table with full points and most importantly with a rich score of 11:5. Liverpool got 2 goals from Milan (at home), 1 goal in Porto and 2 goals last time in Madrid from Atlético. Their overall results are: 3-2, 5-1, 3-2. Well, just a goal scoring beauty. Liverpool are simply at their best and in fantastic shooting form, they will score those goals today and there won't be one.

The team from Madrid set the mood for the match with a 3-0 home win over Betis. They are second in the group with 4 points and a 4-4 score. Antoine Griezmann will be missing (red card), but Portuguese youngster João Félix is ready to replace him. Porto is 3rd in the group with the same number of points. Atletico have nothing to wait for in Liverpool, and will be looking to get some point and preferably fully. That means attacking. And Atletico can score goals, but they can also concede goals. Leaving aside the first goalless draw with Porto (the carefulness of the first game), Atletico's results after that were 2-1 and 2-3.

My bet:
Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.66 (bet365)

Liverpool have been extremely strong at home for a long time and it is very difficult to get points from here. LFC can secure promotion from first place in this game if they win and that is a big motivation. They will be looking to make amends for the weekend's league stumble, when they drew 2-2. To highlight is definitely Salah, who has caught the form of his life.

They will face Atletico, who are known for their defensive style, but they have been conceding a lot of goals in the last few games and games is not going their way. Here, you can expect them to be in a defensive block and wait for counter-attack situations. A huge weakness for the visitors is the missing of Griezmann.

For me, the home Liverpool. I believe them, they are very strong at home and if they win they will secure early promotion from the first place.

My bet:
Liverpool @ 1.60 (bet365)
