Bet Builder Tip For Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid

A heavyweight European clash awaits as Liverpool welcome Atletico Madrid to Anfield for the opening week of the Champions League group stage. The Reds are flying high with four wins from four in the Premier League, while Diego Simeone’s men are still seeking consistency after a slow start in La Liga. With both sides carrying strong narratives into this match, the Bet Builder markets offer intriguing value. Below we break down three carefully chosen selections, each with detailed reasoning behind why they appeal in such a tightly poised fixture.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid, which has been placed with William Hill:

Antoine Griezmann – To Score

Antoine Griezmann remains the heartbeat of Atletico’s attacking play. Even as Simeone’s system prioritises defensive stability, the Frenchman is afforded freedom to operate in advanced areas, linking with Alexander Sørloth or drifting into spaces between midfield and defence. Griezmann’s track record on the continental stage is excellent; he has scored in four of his last six Champions League group stage appearances and has a reputation for producing in high-profile games.

Liverpool’s defence, although strong on paper, is not impenetrable. The hosts conceded late chances against Burnley last weekend, and while they have been dominant at home in Europe, they often leave themselves open when pushing numbers forward. Virgil van Dijk’s presence adds authority, but Atlético’s clever counters will test the Reds. With Liverpool likely to enjoy more possession, Griezmann’s intelligence in transition provides him with ideal opportunities to pounce. A player of his calibre only needs one moment, and given his role as penalty taker and set-piece specialist, he stands an excellent chance of finding the net at Anfield.

Dominik Szoboszlai – To Be Carded

Dominik Szoboszlai has shown his versatility under Arne Slot, even filling in at right-back when required. However, he is expected to return to a deeper midfield role here, where his aggression and desire to break up play could bring disciplinary issues. Atletico are adept at provoking fouls in central areas, slowing tempo, and drawing cards from opposition midfielders who attempt to disrupt transitions.

The Hungarian international is energetic and relentless, but sometimes that energy leads to unnecessary challenges. Against Burnley he was heavily involved defensively, and up against the guile of Koke and the physicality of Barrios, Szoboszlai will likely be called upon to make tackles under pressure. In a high-intensity Champions League tie where emotions run high, cards are often a feature, particularly for central midfielders. With Atletico aiming to frustrate Liverpool and break at pace, Szoboszlai could easily find himself booked while trying to halt dangerous counter-attacks. His role makes him a prime candidate for a card in this encounter.

Each Team Over 3 Corners

Corners are often overlooked in Bet Builders, but this game looks well suited to a high count for both teams. Liverpool’s attacking style under Slot has already shown a clear trend: they dominate possession, push their full-backs high, and consistently force defensive blocks. With Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo cutting inside, plus Jeremie Frimpong overlapping on the right, the Reds are almost guaranteed to generate a healthy number of corners from sustained pressure.

On the other side, Atletico might not monopolise the ball, but they are effective at creating opportunities on the break. Sørloth’s aerial presence and Griezmann’s deliveries encourage them to cross often, while Simeone’s sides regularly win set-pieces even in matches where they are second-best statistically. Anfield has seen high corner counts in Europe before, with both teams usually contributing, and this contest should be no different. A minimum of four corners apiece seems realistic, particularly given Liverpool’s offensive intent and Atletico’s tactical reliance on wide areas and set-play routines.
