Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid Preview and Team News
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool finally got their first win of the new Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over newly promoted Ipswich Town on Friday. They have now drawn two and won one of their three league games. Overall, the Reds are unbeaten in their last five outings, although they have won just two.
Against Ipswich, Andoni Iraola’s side scored two goals within the opening 10 minutes through Alexander Isak and comfortably protected their lead for the rest of the evening.
Winger Cody Gakpo was the standout performer. He created a team-high three chances and completed the joint-most dribbles (three). Attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, often criticized for his inability to convert chances, worked hard off the ball and covered the most distance (11.8 km) in the match.
Defenders Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, and Joseph Gomez are sidelined with injuries, alongside attacking players Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Atletico Madrid (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Kerkez, van Dijk, Jacquet, Araujo; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Gakpo, Wirtz, Barcola; Isak.
Atletico Madrid Team News
Atletico Madrid’s form, by comparison, has been slightly better than Liverpool’s. They have won three of their last five matches, with one draw and one loss. However, they’re coming off a 0-3 thrashing by Athletic Bilbao in La Liga.
Los Rojiblancos kept 62% possession but struggled to contain their opponents and ended up giving them too much space. Despite being superior in the air (53% success rate in aerial duels), Atleti lost 56% of their ground duels.
They recorded just eight tackles and 13 interceptions, while in attack, only five of their 15 shots were on target. Nonetheless, a major positive Diego Simeone can take from the game is the team’s 90% passing accuracy, which speaks to their disciplined approach.
The visitors will be without Arnau Ortiz through suspension and Alexander Sorloth through injury.
Atletico Madrid predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-4-2): Oblak; Grimaldo, Hancko, Pubill, Llorente; Lookman, Hjulmand, Barrios, Simeone; Baena, Alvarez.
Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to win or draw
- Odds: -476 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Atletico Madrid
Liverpool have avoided defeat in three of their last five meetings with Atletico Madrid. At home, the Reds have won two of their last three encounters with Los Rojiblancos.
Moreover, the fact that they have not suffered defeat in any of their previous five outings will give a major boost to Iraola’s men, who are struggling in the absence of several key defenders.
Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -164 (20Bet)
Both teams should score, primarily because of the quality of their attacking players. Isak scored a brace against Ipswich. Gakpo and Wirtz are also in good form as the Reds continue rebuilding after Mohamed Salah’s departure.
Atletico, meanwhile, will be led by Julian Alvarez and Alex Baena, both of whom played in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, albeit on opposite sides. After coming off the bench, Alvarez completed the joint-most dribbles (four) against Bilbao. Baena, meanwhile, created the joint-most chances (three).
