Liverpool - Atl. Madrid Prediction, Picks and Tips
The day of the great revenge has come! On Wednesday evening, from 20:00, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid fight for qualification in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, after the Spaniards won 1-0 at home, in the first half. The "Cormorants" need a perfect match for qualification.
Atletico's huge share is explainable, although the Iberians played without mistake on their own ground. In his already characteristic style, Diego Simeone formed a defensive barrage around his own square, and Mane, Salah and Firmino failed to "break it". In return, at Anfield, Liverpool cannot count on goalkeeper Alisson (muscle injury), but neither on Clyne, Henderson and Shaqiri. From Atletico is uncertain only Lemar, which means that guests come with the ideal formula for the match.
Liverpool comes after a championship win, 2-1 with Bournemouth, which brings it closer to the title. But the adventure in Europe is another topic, quite delicate. And that's because the British have a fairly modest balance with the Spanish teams in the European Cups: 6 wins, 7 draws and 5 failures. Qualified further in each of the last 11 duels in the European Cup, Liverpool has a strong morale, but Atletico Madrid's defense will be difficult to fool here. Although he has this reputation as a defensive coach, Simeone was not satisfied with the last performances of his students: 1-1 at Espanyol and especially 2-2 at home with Sevilla, both games played in the championship.
Without losing 6 consecutive matches, Atletico Madrid does not excel in attack, but the fighting spirit of the team always makes the difference. With the inspiration from the attack brought by Joao Felix and Morata, we are likely to see a big surprise, in the idea that the Iberians could register on foreign land. If the 0-0 score lasts longer, Liverpool will be forced to leave the game and could leave deadly spaces. The two groups have met 6 times in the last 12 years, and the "Cormorants" have only one victory! Atletico's style of play will prove to be very uncomfortable once again for the favorites.
