Liverpool – Atletico Madrid

Liverpool are back in action with another important Champions League fixture this week as they take on Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday. Both teams have excellent players in their ranks and will want to win this game. Atletico Madrid are in fourth place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season. Los Colchoneros eased past Real Betis by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are in second place in the Premier League table and have been impressive this year. Klopp’s charges were held to a 2-2 draw by Brighton over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this match.

Atletico have a good record against Liverpool and have won three out of seven matches played between the two teams. Liverpool have managed only two victories against Atletico Madrid and have a point to prove in this fixture. The previous meeting between the two teams took place last month and ended in a 3-2 victory. Atletico Madrid were poor on the day and will need to be at their best this week. Liverpool are the better team at the moment and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
