Liverpool's draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was probably the kindest of the eight teams involved and now they must take advantage of the situation, when they travel to Benfica.

Benfica are the rank outsiders to win the competition at 170.0169/1, with Liverpool the second favourites at 3.55/2. The Portuguese giants come into this match off the back of a 3-2 defeat at Sporting Braga at the weekend, which leaves them in third place in the Primeira Liga, 12 points behind the leaders Porto.

Nelson Verissimo's team were expected to be knocked out in the last round, only to win 3-2 on aggregate. They finished above Barcelona to qualify from the group stage, but were thrashed 4-0 at home by Bayern Munich and 5-2 away.

With Liverpool having won 15 of their last 17 games, their odds of victory seem fair. That's where we'll start our Bet Builder, at a price of 1/3 on the Sportsbook.

Liverpool's defensive form away from home has been reliable. They have kept clean sheets in each of their last five away games, which includes their last-16 tie against Inter.

All five of those game have seen a maximum of two goals scored, which makes under 2.5 goals look overpriced at 5/4. We're going to be cautious and just add under 3.5 goals to the Bet Builder at 1/2.

Mohamed Salah has scored eight goals in as many Champions League games this season. In away Champions League fixtures this season, he's scored six in four games. Salah is priced at 4/5 to score and when that bet is added, you have a treble at odds of 3.98149/50.

Mahrez having best ever season

In Tuesday's other quarter-final, the Champions League favourites Manchester City host Atletico Madrid.

City are rated at 3.185/40 to lift the trophy, with Atletico the sixth favourites at 30.029/1. Although Atletico have not had a great season, they seem to have shrugged off the erratic form that dogged them and found consistency. At the weekend, they beat Alaves 4-1, which put the champions third in La Liga.

Diego Simeone's team are now unbeaten in eight games (W7 D1), winning each of their last six. Joao Felix added another two goals to his tally, giving him seven goals from that eight game unbeaten run, while Luis Suarez came off the bench to grab a brace.

With Antoine Griezmann also in their line-up, Atletico are no longer lacking a goal threat, which has often been an issue during Simeone'e reign.

With Manchester City boasting a huge range of attacking talent, it's no surprise to see over 2.5 goals favoured at 8/11, which is when we'll start our Bet Builder. To that we'll add both teams to score, which is priced at 21/20.

Manchester City won 2-0 at Burnley on Sunday, fielding an all-English front three of Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish. That suggests that Riyad Mahrez will start against Atletico.

Mahrez is having his best ever season from a goalscoring perspective, netting 22 times. Six of those goals have come from eight Champions League games and if you back Mahrez to score at 6/5, the Bet Builder swells to 4.27327/100.
