Betting Tip – Liverpool to win & BTTS
As part of this match preview, George Gamble explained why Liverpool should have enough strength in depth to win on the night and progress to the semi-finals, but we shouldn't be surprised to see Benfica get on the scoresheet.
"They’ve not lost to Portuguese opposition at Anfield since 2005/2006"
“They’ve not lost to Portuguese opposition at Anfield since 2005/2006 (W4, D2) and despite the fact Jurgen Klopp is likely to make changes, it’s hard to look past a home victory. With the hosts also preparing for another mouthwatering tie against Manchester City in the FA Cup this coming weekend, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see some key players given a rest here.
“Benfica have had no difficulty finding the back of the net and have notched in 13 of their last 14 away games in all competitions. They’ll likely look to exploit a much-changed Liverpool side as they go hunting for an early goal to give them a chance of clawing back the tie.”
Liverpool to win and both teams to score is best price 13/8.

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City
Where can I watch it?
- BT Sport 2, Kick off 20:00 (Build-up from 19:00)
What are the best odds?
| RESULT | BEST PRICE | WORST PRICE |
|---|---|---|
| Atletico Madrid | 21/5 | 7/2 |
| Draw | 14/5 | 5/2 |
| Manchester City | 5/6 | 3/4 |
Key Match Stats
- Manchester City are unbeaten across their last 12 away matches
- Atletico Madrid have now failed to score in their last two games
- The visitors have won their last four away UEFA knockout stage away legs
- The hosts have received more cards than any other side still in the competition.
Betting Tip – Over 4.5 Yellow Cards
With Jack Grealish likely to start and the Spanish outfit doing whatever they can to avoid conceding, German referee Daniel Siebert could well be dishing out quite a few cards for both sides here.
Gamble wrote: “The first leg didn’t see a card until, unsurprisingly, Jack Grealish entered the field in the 68th minute and he was consistently targeted. His first involvement saw an incoming challenge from Rodrigo de Paul which resulted in a yellow card for the Atleti midfielder and a further four cards were shown within a seven-minute spell.”
