Liverpool vs Athletico Madrid Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Liverpool’s defence has not been as solid this year and has often failed to keep clean sheets. Liverpool have scored in every single match this season and Athletico has scored In 7 of their last 8 matches. Therefore, betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.77 {betway} is one of the safest bets of the match.
Luiz Suarez was the most vital player in Atletico’s title winning season last year and has showed some form this year as well. He will look to shine against his former club and thus betting on him to get 3 or more shots at odds of 1.80 {betway} is a good bet to make.
We expect this to be a very tight match as both teams will look to play it safe to get closer to qualification. Betting on the combination of the game to have less than 3.5 goals and less than 10.5 corners at odds of 2.00 {betway} is one of the best bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Diogo Jota is expected to start this match for Liverpool after starting on the bench against Brighton. He often delivers when Liverpool need him the most and thus betting on him to get on the scoresheet at odds of 2.62 {bet 365} can be a really good bet to make.
Trent Alexander Arnold already has a few assists to his name and continues to threaten his opponents with his dangerous crosses. We expect him to get an assist in this game at odds of 3.25 {betway}
Win/Lose/Draw
Liverpool have been unstoppable in the Champions League this season with 3 wins out of 3. In fact, they haven’t lost a single game in all competitions. However, Atletico will bring a very tough challenge as they know they cannot afford to lose any more points. We expect this match to end as a draw at odds of 4.00 {bet365}.
