Atletico Madrid look to cut Liverpool's two point-lead at the summit of Group B in the UEFA Champions League as both sides go at each other this Tuesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The Reds would certainly be out for revenge this Tuesday with the 2019-2020 Round of 16 clash in mind when the Rojiblancos knocked them out by winning both legs.

Reds on hot streak

Atletico Madrid didn't start their 2021/2022UEFA Champions League campaign as they played out a goalless draw with Porto. Fast forward to Matchday two, late goals from former Barcelona players Griezmann and Suarez made sure of the win against Milan as Simeone's troops celebrated their first group stage win. This was followed by a confidence-boosting victory against Barcelona in the Spanish top-flight as the Rojiblancos claimed a 2-0 win at the Wanda Metropolitano- Suarez on the scoresheet to hint his former employers. With the game against Granada being postponed, Simeone's troops would have loads of time to prepare for a high-flying Liverpool side. Would we see them replicate their 2019/2020 performance on Tuesday?

Liverpool, with a 5-1 victory against Porto, made it two wins in as many games in the UEFA Champions League as they lead the way at the summit of the standings. They certainly don't have any issues in front of goal having netted eight times in their first two group games. Salah, Mane and Firmino were on the scoresheet as Klopp and his troops left the Estadio do Dragao with maximum points. Their fearsome front three stole the show last weekend, once again, as they saw off Watford in the Premier League. The 5-0 win against the Hornets stretched their unbeaten run in all competitions to 20 matches and we certainly expect them to be looking towards making it number 21 this Tuesday.

Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool Prediction: 1-2

Klopp's attacking trio of Mane, Salah and Firmino are at the peak of their powers at the moment as even with Simeone's staunch rearguard, we don't think the Spanish champions would keep them quiet on Tuesday. As such, we would be going for an away victory.
