Atletico Madrid hosts Liverpool in round 3 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 19th at Wanda Metropolitano (Madrid)
Atletico Madrid has already made one misfire in the Champions League group, and it may significantly affect the result. We are talking about a home draw against FC Porto in the first round (0-0). But in the second match, the Mattress Makers managed to make amends and beat AC Milan away (1-2). Simeone's charges have four points and are in 2nd position in the group standings. They have not lost in 14 home consecutive matches in the Champions League (nine victories and five draws). However, the last three home games ended without a winner. The Indians play well against the representatives of England in the Champions League. In 14 matches, they suffered only four defeats (with four victories and six draws).

I think the players of Liverpool have not forgotten how Atlético Madrid knocked them out of the Champions League playoffs the year before last. And then the Reds were the holders of the Cup. Consequently, the motivation of Klopp's charges should be high now. They showed a great game in two previous matches in the Champions League group stage. The Reds beat Milan (3-2) and Porto (1-5) in a beautiful style. I would like to note Mohamed Salah, who scored three goals. In the last eight matches in the Champions League, Liverpool suffered only one defeat and gained five victories and two draws. As for the last eight games on foreign pitches, they ended in two defeats, five victories, and one draw.
Atlético Madrid is powerful at home. This applies to any tournament where Simeone's team is playing. Is it worth waiting for the victory of the Mattress Makers now? It is not excluded. El Cholo knows how to beat Jurgen Klopp. But I believe that the result of this match will largely depend on what the Reds will allow the hosts. As we know, the latter always play with regard to the opponent. If Liverpool arranges constant powerful pressure, Atlético Madrid will have difficulties with organizing counterattacks. But I think that the upcoming game will not please the fans with a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
