Liverpool will put its undefeated run atop Group B on the line Wednesday when it takes on Atletico Madrid in the reverse fixture from their last meeting on October 19. Atletico will need to overcome the loss of one of its best players, Antoine Griezmann, who is suspended following a straight-red card in the last match for a high kick in the 52nd minute. Liverpool can effectively seal the group with another win and advance to the knockout stage for a fifth consecutive year. You can see what happens next when you catch the match live on Paramount+.

UEFA Champions League picks for Atletico Madrid vs. Liverpool
Before you tune in to Wednesday's match, you need to see the Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid picks from SportsLine's soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated well over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
He's also been red-hot on his Champions League picks since joining SportsLine. In fact, Green is on a blistering 86-53-5 run on his UCL best bets. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid, Green is picking Liverpool to win and score at least two goals in the match. The second meeting between the two sides has the potential to get away from Atletico without the peace of mind that Griezmann will be pushing forward offensively. Conversely, the understanding that a win all but guarantees a top finish in Group B should put added energy in the boots of Liverpool's players.
Last time out, Liverpool dominated possession, helped by the fact that it was up a player for most of the second half. However, the emphasis on possessing the ball serves as an affront to Atletico, which would prefer to force opponents out of their comfort zone offensively. The opposing philosophies are an extension of the relationship between the two managers, and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp would like nothing more than to twist the knife with a second-straight victory against Atletico.
"[Klopp] claimed that Simeone's men do not play 'proper football' and said losing to them 'doesn't feel right,'" Green told SportsLine. "In the build-up to the game on October 19, he said he does not like Atletico's style, but grudgingly admitted that he "respects what they do.'"
