After demolishing Watford 5-0 in the Premier league over the weekend, Liverpool travel the Wanda Metropolitana to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions league group stage fixture on Tuesday night. Both teams have been in decent form in the league and hence we expect a close match.
Our betting predictions for Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool FC match are:
Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool FC Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Both teams have conceded only six goals in eight games and have amongst the strongest defences in Europe. Hence we expect a low scoring match and suggest betting on less than 2.5 goals being scored at odds of 1.80 (bet365) .
Mohammed Salah has now scored in eight consecutive games for Liverpool and is in the form of his life. With him also being the first choice for penalties, betting on him to score at odds of 2.50 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Luis Suarez has been key for Atletico Madrid having scored four goals in his last four games, with three of them being winners. Therefore betting on him to score at odds of 2.87 (bet365) is another good bet.
Quick Rich
As both teams have a very stable defense, both teams will have to rely on their key attackers in this game to come out on top. Hence betting on Salah and Suarez both to score at odds of 7.00 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Though Liverpool have been in very good form, they will be playing this game three days after their league fixture, while Atletico Madrid will be fresh as their league game was cancelled this week. Hence we expect a draw with the final scoreline being 1-1 at odds of 6.50 (bet365).
Win/Lose/Draw
With Porto and AC Milan also in their group, Liverpool and Atletico will be hoping to get a win to increase their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage from the group of death. Hence we expect a very intense match and a draw at odds of 3.30 (bet365).
Bet During the Match
If Atletico Madrid get an early lead, we will expect Simeone to park the bus and it will be very difficult for Liverpool to come back into the game and therefore we suggest betting on Madrid to hold the lead and win at odds of 3.10 (betway) as they will also have home advantage.
