Liverpool head into the opening round of Europe's premier club competition after a relatively stable start to their Premier League campaign, collecting five points from their first three matches. In their latest game, the Reds comfortably defeated Ipswich Town away from home (2:0), while previously drawing with Nottingham Forest (2:2) and Newcastle United (2:2). The team are showing plenty of attacking activity, although their revamped defense is still making some unnecessary mistakes.
Atletico Madrid have collected seven points from their first four La Liga matches and currently remain among the leading teams in the standings. In their competitive fixtures, Diego Simeone's side suffered a heavy away defeat to Athletic Bilbao (0:3), beat Sevilla (3:1) and Malaga (2:0), and drew with Villarreal (2:2). The Spanish side are capable of putting up strong resistance in physical battles, but the heavy loss in Bilbao exposed noticeable weaknesses when facing intense pressure.

The packed stands at Anfield and Liverpool's tremendous pace in the attacking line make the Reds the favorites for this matchup. Atletico Madrid have shown some discomfort when dealing with aggressive pressure, as their recent game against Athletic Bilbao demonstrated. The hosts will look to seize the initiative from the opening minutes and force the Madrid defense into regular mistakes under pressure. The best bet for this match is a Liverpool victory.
