Verdict: Hit
Liverpool gewann das Spiel tatsächlich mit 2:1 gegen Atlético de Madrid am 9. September 2026 in Anfield (UCL-Ligaphase MD1 2026/27). Szoboszlai (40.) und Mac Allister (50.) drehten den frühen Rückstand durch Llorente (17.). Die Vorhersage (Liverpool-Sieg) trat ein. Bemerkenswert: Julián Álvarez spielte entgegen der Vorhersage doch mit und bereitete das Atlético-Tor vor – sein vermeintliches Fehlen war also kein Faktor. Der Heimsieg Liverpools wurde dennoch erzielt, da das Team die Partie nach dem Rückstand drehte.

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title.

Bookmaker odds imply ~38% win probability for Max Verstappen (moneyline +160). He won the São Paulo GP today and holds the Las Vegas track record from 2025, where he dominated by ~20 seconds. Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points). Verstappen is highly motivated to collect wins. Competition: George Russell +400, Kimi Antonelli +700, Lewis Hamilton +2800. The night race on the Las Vegas Strip historically favors Red Bull and Verstappen's driving style.
