Liverpool (3rd, 18 pts) are firmly in the top six and host a Atletico Madrid side (14th, 13 pts) languishing in the bottom half. On paper, this looks comfortable.
The travelling Atletico Madrid fans arrive with a spring in their step, and rightly so. recent form reads W-D-W-L-W. That W-D-W-L-W away form is genuinely impressive. Liverpool have been wobbling (D-D-D-L-D) recent form reads D-D-D-L-D. But home crowds have a way of dragging a side through, and Liverpool will fancy that their own supporters can be the difference when it matters. Interestingly, Liverpool have been poor at home recently while Atletico Madrid travel well. the visitors' away form is superior to the hosts' home record. Season-long, Liverpool average 1.5 points per game compared to Atletico Madrid's 0.8. that gap in consistency is hard to ignore. Both sides are prolific in front of goal. Liverpool average 2.0 per game and Atletico Madrid chip in with 2.2. Expect an open, attacking contest. The gap in chance quality is clear: Liverpool come out at +0.1 a game (chances they create minus chances they give up) compared to -0.4. that's a real edge in the quality of chances.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Liverpool create chances worth 1.5 a game (and give up chances worth 1.4), leaving them +0.1 a game on the balance. Atletico Madrid create 1.5 (giving up 1.9) for a balance of -0.4. The underlying numbers clearly favour Liverpool. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones.
Goals look likely here. Liverpool average 2.0 per game (2.5 at home) and Atletico Madrid chip in with 2.2 (1.6 away). Defensively, Liverpool concede 1.3 at home and Atletico Madrid leak 2.1 on the road. We make it 68% for three or more goals. One of the stronger cases for goals today. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 58%. Their past meetings back this up. These two average 3.6 goals when they meet, with 3 of the last 5 producing three or more.
