UCL: Atletico Madrid V Liverpool - (18/02/20)

The hosts Atletico Madrid are having a relatively unstable season, especially due to the weakness of the attack after letting Antonie Griezmann leave. Last weekend, coach Diego Simeone's team had a 2-2 draw away from home on the pitch of Valencia. With that result, they have only 1 victory in the last 5 rounds in La Liga and the last 7 matches in all competitions. Returning to the European competition, the competition Atletico Madrid often plays very well, it is likely the home team will be very determined to claim a positive results at home before the second leg away from home.

However, their opponent is the defending champions Liverpool, and it will be quite difficult for the host to defeat the EPL club due to their impeccable performance, staying unbeaten in almost 46 games in the premier league. Atletico Madrid eliminated Klopp's Liverpool team from the Europa League back in 2010, so hopefully they will be hoping to get that same spirit.
