Liverpool take on Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night at Anfield and we’ve got all your betting odds, injury news and weather condition information.
The Reds need to score more than one goal and keep Diego Simeone‘s team from hitting the back of the net – an away goal could prove vital here as Liverpool weren’t able to have a single shot on target during the away leg.
Action Network are offering odds of +550 with FanDuel and +575 with Draft Kings for Liverpool to advance through to the quarter-finals with Atletico are down at -180 and -182. A draw is priced at +280 and +295.
Jordan Henderson is a possible for Wednesday night. Henderson trained but Jurgen Klopp refused to say if the skipper was going to be starting or not. James Milner played in the 2-1 win over Bournemouth and could step into midfield as the general if required.
Andy Robertson was left out of the side for that game but will be available for Atletico, and the break could have done him good – the official club website reported.
Alisson will miss the game and Adrian will be forced to come into the side. He joined from West Ham in the summer and won’t be able to believe his luck as the Spaniard would have anticipated a season on the bench.
According to the Met Office, it’s going to be fairly cold and will hover at around 7 degrees, dropping to five by the end of the match.
It’s forecast for 90% and 80% rain a few hours before the game but the chances of getting wet will lower to 50% by the time kick off approaches.
This might suit Liverpool, who like the pitch to be a bit wetter so the ball skims across the turf better and would allow them to spring quick attackers to catch Atletico out of place.
