Looking to lay down a European marker when they get their Champions League adventure underway on Wednesday night, Liverpool will welcome Atletico Madrid to Anfield.
Making real history last season as they secured a record-breaking 20th domestic crown, the Reds have once again come flying out of the traps since opening the new campaign last month and they find themselves pencilled in as a leading European contender this year.
While Atletico might have marked their return from September’s international break with a much-welcomed boost, Diego Simeone’s men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability and face what is a heavyweight challenge here.
With all eyes falling on Anfield, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid Bet Builder Tips.
Liverpool looking to make an opening statement
While Liverpool might not have been at their clinical best last weekend, Arne Slot’s men did mark their return from September’s fortnight interval with a 1-0 victory away at Premier League returners Burnley.
Regarded as a standout contender to defend their domestic crown this season, the former Feyenoord boss has seen his superstar squad come flying out of the traps since opening up the new campaign last month.
Heading into September’s international break with a stellar 1-0 win at home against bitter title rivals Arsenal, Liverpool have won all of their first four Premier League appearances.
In fact, Wednesday’s hosts are the only club among England’s elite who can boast a 100% start to proceedings.
Showing no signs of a hangover after suffering Community Shield frustration at Wembley on August 10th, Liverpool will be confident of laying down an opening European marker at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Salah to play a leading role at Anfield
Spearheading Liverpool to their record-breaking 20th domestic crown last season and claiming the Premier League’s Golden Boot, Mohamed Salah has only further underlined his status as an Anfield icon.
Despite continued speculation over a potential move away from the red half of Merseyside over the summer, Salah remains at Anfield and has enjoyed a bright start to proceedings.
Converting from the penalty spot at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon and dragging Liverpool across the finishing line, the 33-year-old has recorded three goals for club and country since opening up the new campaign.
Registering seven direct goal contributions in his nine Champions League appearances last season, Salah will certainly play a leading role here.
Holding happy memories against Atletico, it should also be noted that the one-time Chelsea misfit bagged a brace when Liverpool collected an action-packed 3-2 win in the Spanish capital back in October 2021.

Atletico’s glaring issues on the road
Although Atletico Madrid might have marked their return from September’s international break with a much-needed 2-0 win at home against Villarreal, that is the only victory that Diego Simeone’s men have registered from any of their first four La Liga appearances.
Getting proceedings with a shock 2-1 loss at the hands of Espanyol on August 17th, the Spanish heavyweights appear a serious distance off mounting a genuine La Liga title charge this year.
Coming under serious scrutiny over the summer as they failed to book a Club World Cup knockout stage ticket over in the United States, Atletico have also shown a string of glaring issues outside of Madrid this calendar year.
Along with winning just one of their previous six La Liga showdowns away from the Metropolitano, Simeone’s inconsistent squad have also won just five of their previous 14 Champions League showdowns on foreign soil.
