Betting on Liverpool
Liverpool’s season has been far from what was expected of the team, and it currently finds itself in a rather complex situation, standing outside of European spots for the upcoming season. The latest negative result was a 0-0 draw with Chelsea, marking three consecutive winless matches in the local league, with only one goal scored in that span.
This performance has Jürgen Klopp’s boys in eighth place in the league standings with 43 points, one less than Aston Villa, which, with one more match played, currently holds a spot for qualification to the Conference League.
However, this is a position Liverpool could soon overtake not only because it has one less match played, but also because it theoretically has an accessible schedule. Five of the last nine matches for Liverpool have been against teams in the middle to lower part of the standings, while in the penultimate matchday, it will face the one and only Aston Villa.
Nevertheless, qualifying for the Conference League is far from Liverpool’s aspirations. In March, the team was eliminated from the quarterfinals of the Champions League by Real Madrid, and it currently finds it highly unlikely to secure a spot in the competition for the upcoming season, being 10 points behind the third and fourth places shared by Newcastle and Manchester United.
Overall, Liverpool’s numbers are not so bad, as its 48 goals scored are the fifth highest in the league, and with 33 goals conceded, the team also holds the fifth-best position in that regard. However, its seven losses in 15 away matches are making the difference.
That’s why facing the league leaders at home this Sunday is, all in all, more than positive news. In 13 matches played at Anfield, Liverpool has only suffered one defeat, and its defense becomes much more solid at home, conceding only nine goals while scoring 34, including an unforgettable 7-0 victory against Manchester United just a few matchdays ago.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil Van Dyjk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner; Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo.
Betting on Arsenal
Looking ahead to a challenging end of the season, including a match against Manchester City in four rounds, Arsenal needs to earn points in its upcoming match against Liverpool on Sunday.
Currently, the Gunners lead the league with 72 points in 29 games, eight points ahead of Manchester City. However, Manchester City has played one game less, and will face Arsenal in a crucial match in round 33.
Losing the title after having dominated the Premier League all season would be a disaster for Arsenal, which was quickly knocked out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, and surprisingly lost in the Europa League round of 16 to Sporting Lisbon.
This is why it is crucial for Mikel Arteta’s team to earn points against Liverpool, so it does not head into its match against Manchester City with the worry of being caught or surpassed. Arsenal has been on a good run of form, having gone unbeaten in eight games, including seven consecutive wins.
During this positive run, Arsenal has maintained its impressive offensive record, scoring at least four goals in four games this season, and holding second place in the league with 70 goals, just one less than Manchester City’s 71. In addition, its defense is the third best in the league, having conceded only 27 goals.
Actually, Arsenal’s performance does not diminish when playing on enemy grounds either. The team has the best home record in the league, and has earned the most points on the road, with 34 out of 42 possible points. Moreover, it has scored the most goals on enemy grounds, with 28 goals, and has the best defensive record in the league, having conceded only nine goals.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Aaron Ramsdale; Ben White, Rob Holding, Gabriel, Olexandr Zinchenko; Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka; Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli.
JefeBet Prediction
Let’s face it, predicting the outcome of such a closely contested match is extremely difficult, especially given Liverpool’s inconsistency throughout the season.
At times, especially on the road, Jurgen Klopp’s men have looked terrible, but at Anfield, except for the game against Real Madrid, Liverpool has been a real headache for its opponents.
The problem is that it’s hard to know which version of Liverpool we’ll see this Sunday, especially since it has only scored one goal in three league games after its 7-0 thrashing to Manchester United. On the other hand, Arsenal has been the best team in the Premier League all year. The team has an excellent performance when it comes to winning, scoring, or defending both at home and on enemy grounds. What else could its fans ask for in this Liverpool vs Arsenal match?
At first glance, we would go for the Gunners on the Moneyline, but just like in the last matchday 10 game, there should be goals in this match. Both clubs need a win. Besides, Liverpool is the third highest-scoring team at home and Arsenal is the team that has scored the most on the road. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict a festival of emotions at Anfield.
Prediction: Over (LIV 2 – ARS 2).
