Michael Owen's prediction for Liverpool's clash against Atletico Madrid

Liverpool will come up against Atletico Madrid at Anfield tonight.

With that being the case, former Red Michael Owen has given his prediction for the aforementioned Champions League group stage fixture.

Liverpool defeated Atletico Madrid 3-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium two weeks ago.

With that being the case, Owen can see the Reds securing another group stage victory over the La Liga side.

The 41-year-old is also confident that Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will find the back of the net against Atletico Madrid tonight.

Owen told BetVictor the following: "The Reds have made a brilliant start to this [Champions League] campaign with three wins from three. After winning a thriller in Madrid, I’m expecting a win at Anfield.  Salah has five in three group games, and I can see him scoring and Liverpool winning this 2-0."

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

We completely agree with Owen's prediction. Liverpool have shown that they are capable of beating Atletico Madrid.

Also, as Owen has pointed out, Salah is in superb form. The winger has scored 15 goals in 13 appearances for the Reds this season.

Therefore, with the Egyptian in such good form, Liverpool can beat anyone. But, only time will tell if the Reds are to defeat Atletico Madrid again. Tonight's clash kicks off at 08:00 pm.
