Premium Tips
Andy is with Liverpool, who should harness a raucous Anfield.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Liverpool to win and over 3.5 goals | 13/5 | Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool light up Anfield and their recent games have been packed with goals, drawing 2-2 with Nottingham Forest and 2-2 at Newcastle before a 2-0 win at Ipswich. Atletico Madrid arrive having leaked in most of their outings, including a 3-0 loss at Athletic Club and a 2-2 home draw with Villarreal, so they are not watertight. That points to an open, entertaining night under the lights. With Liverpool’s firepower expected to carry them to the win and both sides capable of finding the net, the goals should flow, making over 3.5 a live shout at Anfield. |
| Alexander Isak and Ademola Lookman to score anytime | 8/1 | Isak is a genuine elite finisher, with 64 goals in 110 games during his Newcastle days and already off the mark at Liverpool with seven strikes. Leading the line at Anfield, he should get clear sights of goal against an Atletico defence that has been creaking. Lookman is no passenger either, boasting 52 goals in 137 appearances for Atalanta plus seven since his Atletico switch, and he carries a real threat on the counter. Both are proven match-winners who love to shoot, and in a game expected to produce goals, backing this pair to score makes plenty of sense. |
