Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid - Soccer Prediction

Filed under: Champions League Predictions by: admin

Soccer prediction and bookmakers odds for match from Champions League group D: Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid - 04.11.2008.

Liverpool lose last match in London against Tottenham. Liverpool begins the match quite well, and only in 3 minutes they already lead with 1 goal vs Tottenham. Everything looks fine for Liverpool this match, until in 69 minute Carragher didn’t score auto goal ( I wonder is this is not some bad habit on Carragher, because he is master to score goals in his net). Also I think that Benitez underestimate Tottenham and substitute Keane early. Tottenham press Liverpool and at end of match, newcomer Pavlyuchenko brings the win for Tottenham.
Good new for Benitez is, that his star Fernando Torres is recovered from injury and will be on fit for match against former club Atletico Madrid. Liverpool will look for win this match, because it will be ensure place in nex round Champions League.

Last five Liverpool matches:

Tottenham-Liverpool 1:2

Liverpool-Portsmouth 1:0

Chelsea-Liverpool 0:1

Atl. Madrid-Liverpool 1:1

Liverpool-Wigan 3:2

Atletico Madrid justify my expectation and win with 2:0 against Mallorca at home. Precise for Red-whites was young star of Argentinian football Agüero in 14-th and 28-th minutes. Atletico performance this season in Champions League is impressive and they are in first place in this group D with 7 points for now. Bad news for Atletico Madrid are, that defenders Seitaridis and Ujfalusi are injured, and they will  miss trip to Liverpool.

Last five Atletico Madrid matches:

Atl. Madrid - Mallorca 2:0

Orihuela - Atl. Madrid 0:1

Villarreal - Atl. Madrid 4:4

Atl. Madrid - Liverpool 1:1

Atl. Madrid - Real Madrid 1:2

My soccer prediction: A win will ensure place for Liverpool in next round. Atletico Madrid also have big chances for next stage but their force is on home ground.
Match will be 1 X.

Bookmakers odds:

Liverpool    Draw    Atletico Madrid

1.57          3.60     6.50  

1.57          3.60     7.00  

1.57          3.60     7.00
