Liverpool head into this Champions League match in reasonable shape, having won their most recent game and drawn their three league fixtures before that. They have not lost in their last four outings, which suggests they are hard to beat at the moment. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have had a bumpier road lately, losing their most recent match and also suffering defeats in two of their last three competitive games, so they arrive looking a bit short on confidence.

Looking at past meetings between these two, the games have often been high-scoring affairs. The most recent clash ended with four goals, and the game before that also produced several goals. In fact, two of the last three head-to-head encounters have been very open and full of action. Given Atletico's recent struggles and the fact they are playing away from home, while Liverpool are unbeaten in their last few matches, it is fair to expect Liverpool to have the edge here. This should be a close and entertaining match, but the most likely outcome is a home win for Liverpool.
