Liverpool hosts Atletico in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 11th at Anfield (Liverpool)
Liverpool has been holding recent matches in saving mode. Defeat in the cup, minimal victories in the championship. It’s not so important. Klopp gets ready for the return match. And it is likely that the team will not manage to defend last year's title. The hosts have been conceding goals for five consecutive matches, and they did it twice on their pitch. Did the British have attempts in the first leg? The Reds even never shot on target.

Simeone probably understands perfectly well that his team is unlikely to keep a clean sheet at Anfield, as well as maintaining a minimal advantage. There is only one way out, but much will depend on how the meeting develops, so Atletico needs to go ahead and try to play on the counterattacks. But the opponent will provide this by itself since it simply needs to go forward. After an unsuccessful winless streak in January-February, Atletico began to score. And it has been doing it for the last six games in a row. The Mattress Makers need only one goal scored in England. And then the outcome of the confrontation will be a foregone conclusion. Even such Liverpool is not able to score three times.
Do not forget how many times Atlético knocked out favorites from the Champions League. And the team can do it now. Everybody knows that the attack of Liverpool is much stronger, and the visitors lost their stars in the offseason. But they have Felix and Diego Costa. And I don’t think that Simeone will dry the game. The goal of the visitors looks a much more interesting bet than a victory of the hosts. Currently, the Reds have more problems. Atletico does not look like an obvious outsider, even at Anfield. And the Spanish team does not feel pressure and may impose its game. The Mattress Makers have their face and style. I have a liking for Liverpool, but I think that the visitors have the right to count on one goal scored.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to score over 0.5 goals
