Kick-off time: 20:00
Venue: Anfield

The Champions League is back, and Anfield gets the spotlight straight away. Liverpool welcome Atlético Madrid in a matchup that always carries drama. These two have history, no shortage of fiery moments, and plenty of big names on show.

Liverpool are flying in the league and look sharp early in the season, while Atlético’s domestic form has been more of a stutter. Add in the Anfield atmosphere, and you can see why the Reds start as favourites. But we’ve seen Diego Simeone’s side spoil parties before… so could they spring another surprise?

Liverpool vs Atlético Madrid Team News

Liverpool:
Jeremie Frimpong is touch-and-go with a knock, while new signing Alexander Isak could make his Champions League debut for the club. Imagine him scoring under the lights — the place would erupt. Everyone else looks fit, which means Klopp has a stacked bench to call on. Expect Salah, Wirtz, and Gakpo buzzing around up front, with Mac Allister pulling the strings in midfield.

Atlético Madrid:
Alex Baena misses out, and Jose Gimenez is still a fitness doubt, which is a worry given the firepower he’s up against. The good news? Julian Alvarez leads the line. He knows what it’s like to play in England, and Atlético will be banking on him to nick a goal. Still, without their defensive leader Gimenez, keeping Liverpool quiet feels like a tall order.

Likely Lineups

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak.

Atlético Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Molina, Savic, Hermoso, Lino; De Paul, Koke, Saul, Carrasco; Morata, Alvarez.

Liverpool vs Atlético Madrid Betting Tips

I think it’s safe to say goals are coming in this one. Liverpool have scored in every home game so far this season, and their Champions League record at Anfield is ridiculous — seven wins from their last eight. Atlético? They’ve only managed four wins from their last fourteen away European trips. That’s not the best stat if you’re heading into a cauldron like this.

Betting angles worth considering:

• Liverpool to win & over 2.5 goals feels strong.
• Both teams to score – yes. Atlético usually sneak one, even in defeats.
• Mo Salah anytime scorer. He just loves these nights.

Liverpool vs Atlético Madrid Match Prediction

So, how’s it going to play out? Liverpool will dominate possession, press high, and look to overwhelm Atlético early. Klopp’s men are ruthless at home, and if Isak starts, that front four is scary.

Atleti will sit deep, frustrate, and hope Alvarez or Morata can cause problems on the break. They’ll probably get a chance or two, but over ninety minutes, Liverpool’s quality should shine through.

Match Prediction: Liverpool to win. Bet with bet365.
