Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid
UEFA Champions League
Date: Wednesday, 3 November 2021
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Anfield.
Liverpool are scoring goals for fun these days. Their back line has not quite been at the highest level recently, though, since the team allowed two goals against Atletico Madrid and Brighton each lately.
We have plenty of reasons to expect a goal fest here and the Over 2.5 goals FT is the best betting option at the 1.72 odds.
Atletico Madrid eliminated Liverpool 2-4 on aggregate after extra time in the last 16 round of the UEFA Champions League last season.
The two outfits locked horns nine times in the recent history and Atletico Madrid have been much more successful (five wins, two draws, and just two defeats) in the process.
Liverpool claimed a 2-3 away victory when they battled Atletico Madrid two weeks ago in this term of the Champions League.
Both teams were on target in four of the last five head to head encounters.
Liverpool will be looking to lock in their spot in the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening when they play host to Atletico Madrid in the fourth round of the competition.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have been one of the most impressive teams in the first three games of the group stage in the elite continental competition.
They boast a maximum record with nine out of nine points won, and they’ve bagged as many as 11 goals in the process (almost four per match).
The Reds scored at least three goals in each of three group stage affairs. It is a very impressive record if we know they’ve played the likes of Milan, Porto, and Atletico Madrid in the process.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s machinery slipped up on Saturday afternoon when they dropped a two-goal lead to play only a 2-2 draw against Brighton in the Premier League.
The Reds are now three points shy of Chelsea at the top of the domestic league standings.
On the other side, Atletico Madrid celebrated a demolishing 3-0 victory over Real Betis on Sunday at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
