Liverpool – Atl. Madrid : Preview & Prediction
Milan is closely involved in the Anfield Road match between Juergen Klopp’s Liverpool and Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid. The two teams are in fact included in Group B of the Champions League which also includes the Rossoneri and respectively occupy the first position with full points and the second at an altitude of 4. A victory for the Reds would not only close the qualification speech and the race in first place but in fact it would allow Milan to have some more chances in case of victory against Porto.
Liverpool will play this match after a 2-2 Premier League draw against Brighton & Hove Albion. In that match, Liverpool managed 59% of ball possession with 14 shots. For Liverpool, the goals were scored by Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mané. A draw that put the Reds back in the pursuit of Chelsea but confirms the fact that Klopp’s team has never lost a game in all competitions this season. Liverpool have also scored from 15 consecutive games this season, that is in all of them. The only two players the German coach cannot count on are Harvey Elliott (Ankle Fracture) and Thiago (Calf Injury).
Atlético Madrid, on the other hand, will come to this match after a 3-0 La Liga win against Betis. The match was dominated in attack with 18 goals scored and two of these were scored by Yannick Carrasco and João Félix as well as an own goal by the former Florentine German Pezzella. Compared to the past, in which a defensive attitude often prevailed in Atletico’s matches, there was a turnaround with 5 Over 2.5 in the last 6 races. In this period, the only exception is the home victory against Barcelona for 2-0, while the 3-2 with which Liverpool conquered the Wanda Metropolinato of Madrid on October 19 is also part of the Over 2.5. Certainly positive news for Simeone in view of this challenge is the fact of arriving in Liverpool without injuries.
There have been 5 Over 2.5 in the last 6 matches of Atletico Madrid.
There have been 4 Over 2.5 in Liverpool’s last 4 home matches.
Liverpool have scored at least 1 goal in all 15 official matches this season.
Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in their last 12 competitive matches this season.
At least one goal has been scored during the first half in all of Atletico Madrid’s last 7 matches.
In line with what happened two weeks ago in the first leg at Wanda Metropolitano, when a total of 5 goals were scored, we want to propose the Over 2.5 which is “fashionable” at Anfield Road and very often in Atletico’s matches both in home is away.
