Of all the contenders for the title, Liverpool is having a more even and stable season, without significant downturns. In the last round, the Merseysiders very easily beat Chelsea at home with a score of 4:1. Thus, they managed to secure a fourth victory in a row in the Premier League, and during this period the Reds never scored less than two goals. Taking into account the team’s form is overriding for successful soccer prediction to be made.
In the last ten matches, Liverpool does not leave the field without scoring a goal, but more often scores from 2 to 4 goals against the opponents. Choosing the most cautious bet on Liverpool individual total goals over(1.5) looks promising. Trying to guess the outcome of such a confrontation is difficult, and the Merseysiders will do everything at home to reduce the gap to the leader by three points, but will it work? Klopp’s team can improve greatly in the second half. In the last 9 away matches, Liverpool have scored at least a goal in the second half of the game in eight matches.
Midfielder Wataru Endo, who is playing at the Asian Cup, will not be able to play. Defenders Tsimikas and attacking star Mo Salah will miss the match due to injuries. Undoubtedly, the loss of Salah is serious, but without him Liverpool managed to play several successful matches.
Evaluating the guests’ chances
Burnley are one of the main contenders for relegation. Over 22 rounds, the “Clarets” managed to score only 12 points, with which they are located in the relegation zone on 19th line. Today the gap from the saving 17th position is seven points. The last victory in the Premier League dates back to December 23. Then Vincent Kompany’s team beat Fulham in London with a score of 2:1. In the previous round, Burnley could not do anything against Manchester City, although they scored a goal (1:3).
Today the team has a winless streak of five matches in different tournaments, with four defeats and only one draw, so the guests are obviously in bad shape.
The team has a very promising but yet a callow squad. Thanks to the efforts of Belgian legendary defender Vincent Kompany, the players are gradually progressing and demonstrating more and more confident play. The lack of experience is still the essential team’s issue.
Game prediction
We also assume an open and productive game here. The guests are not in the best shape and cannot win five matches, which means the desire to finally please the fans will prevail over them. Moreover, Liverpool is also very motivated from a tournament point of view. Therefore, we assume that both teams will focus on attack.
