Liverpool v Salzburg in Anfield could be a affair.
The Austrians surely made their mark over the Champions League a fortnight ago — sticking six previous Genk in their first match in the competition, and despite having a giant step up in quality of opponent, their front of Erling H??land and Hwang Hee-Chan seem like they could cause even the best defences in the world issues.
Almost every single one of the goals against Genk arrived on the counter, along with the devastating efficiency at will not have gone undetected by Jurgen Klopp, who will understand his side will dominate possession on Wednesday.
At Napoli, Liverpool lost their opener away of course, however they literally unbeatable at Anfield, and thats not going to change, because they demonstrated last year in their way to winning the competition.
However, rather than funding a Liverpool victory that is valueless, Im going to also adhere on both groups to score.
Slightly uncharacteristically, Liverpool have kept only two Premier League clean sheets this year –none coming in Anfield–and theres a little value in financing the home win that was inescapable, but together with Salzburg.
Theres very little point in talking about the number of goals that the visitors have scored domestically (spoiler: totally loads), but Liverpools expected-goals-against this season is at over one-per-game, therefore I wouldnt sleep on Salzburg producing some fairly major problems on the best way to conquer.
Liverpool are often characterised by their ancient targets (and really Salzburg, but once again, their domestic form must be analyzed with a enormous pinch of salt), and the match expected to be rather open — with the visitors looking to counter whenever possible — we might be in for a lot of early action.
A goal was scored before 10 minutes in two Liverpools three home games this season, and at a match where there isnt loads of value, I cant help but think this is well worth a punt considering Salzburgs probable tactics of having a proper move.
A target in the first 15 minutes of this game is my second suggestion.
