H2H - Reds Have the Edge

Liverpool Have an Attacking Threat
Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool have started to build momentum following a five-match unbeaten streak.
The Reds ended pre-season with a 0-0 draw and a 2-0 win at home against Como. Liverpool began the 2026/27 campaign with a 2-2 comeback draw at Newcastle.
Another 2-2 draw followed at Anfield against Nottingham Forest. Liverpool trailed twice and responded with 2.3 XG.
Iraola’s team gained their first win of the season on Friday following a 2-0 victory at Ipswich. Alexander Isak scored twice in the opening nine minutes and the Reds had seven shots on target.
Atletico Madrid Struggle Against Top Sides
Atletico Madrid have struggled for momentum recently and are winless in four of their previous seven matches.
The La Liga outfit lost twice in pre-season against Premier League opponents. A 2-1 loss against Man United was followed by a 3-1 defeat to Man City.
Diego Simeone’s side recovered in the new season, beating Malaga 2-0 and Sevilla 3-1 either side of a 2-2 draw against Villarreal.
Atleti couldn’t continue their unbeaten run and lost 3-0 at Athletic Bilbao. The Red and Whites allowed 1.41 XG, conceded twice after half time and let in a late third.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister; Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola; Alexander Isak
Defenders Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are out with long-term injuries. Attacking duo Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa are also ruled out against Atletico.
Joe Gomez has returned to training and could make the squad here. Andoni Iraola issued a positive recent update on the defender’s recovery and said:
“The recovery from a muscle injury - more or less, we were expecting the time on this. I hope we can have him before the break, let’s say.”
Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Marcos Llorente, Marc Pubill, Cristian Romero, David Hancko; Giuliano Simeone, Pablo Barrios, Morten Hjulmand, Ademola Lookman; Julian Alvarez, Alex Baena
Arnau Ortiz is suspended. The attacker was sent off in his last European outing two years ago for his former club Slask Wrocław.
Striker Alexander Sorloth is sidelined due to a muscle injury.
Verdict
Liverpool are undefeated this season and know how to score goals. Atletico Madrid are leaky, unconvincing and a Reds home win with goals is tipped in the Champions League.
