Liverpool vs Athletico Madrid Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Both teams have shown the greatest attacking football this season and are in the top 3 in the league for goals scored. Betting on both teams to score in the match is one of the safest bets at odds of 1.50. (bet365)
Mohammed Salah scored a brilliant hattrick against Manchester United but failed to score in the last game against Brighton. He will be looking to get back on the scoresheet in this match which at odds of 1.77 (bet 365) is a really good bet.
Diogo Jota showed some form some again after scoring for Liverpool in their last match against Athletico Madrid. With Firmino’s injury, we expect him to take charge once again and get more than 1.5 shots on target at odds of 1.57 (bet 365)
Quick Rich
As we said earlier, both teams have been the most attacking this season dominating against opponents week after week. We expect the game to have a combination of more than 2.5 goals and more than 10.5 corners which at odds of 3.00 (betway) can give really high returns at minimal risk.
Michael Antonio always steps up in the biggest games for West Ham. He is the 3rd highest scorer in the league with 6 goals and also has 3 assists to his name. We expect him to get on the scoresheet at odds of 2.87. (bet 365)
Win/Lose/Draw
Liverpool continued their good run of form and will be looking to get a win to maintain pressure on league leaders Chelsea. Though West Ham have had a good start to the season, Liverpool have better quality players and should get the win at odds of 1.72 (betway).
Bet During the Match
If West Ham are able to get an early goal against Liverpool, they should be able to defend their lead and get a win at odds of 4.75 (bet365).
