Liverpool needs to beat Atlético by a two-goal margin without conceding to make it to the next round. If Atlético scores one goal, Liverpool will have to score three times to keep their hopes of defending their title alive.

Atlético could make it to the next round if the game ends in a draw or if they can manage to win the game. In order to be more confident about their chances, Simeone's men must find a way to score at Anfield.
