Command Analysis
Liverpool
EnglandCurrent form
In the last round, Liverpool played below their capabilities in defense, conceding three goals from Newcastle (3:3). The loss of two points, of course, did not please the fans, but nevertheless, the tournament position is still quite stable. The Merseysiders are in first place with a gap of four points from Chelsea, and they have a game in hand.
Since the start of the Premier League season, Liverpool have suffered only one defeat. That was back in September in a home match with Nottingham Forest (0:1). Salah, who scored two goals and made an assist against Newcastle, is still not slowing down in attack. Even taking into account the three goals conceded by the Magpies, Arne Sloth men are the best team in the Premier League in terms of defensive reliability - only 11 goals conceded in 14 matches.
https://www.liverpoolfc.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Liverpool are also unrivalled in the Champions League. They have played six rounds without losing a single point. With 18 points, the Reds are leading the standings, three points ahead of their closest rivals Barcelona. In the last round, the Merseysiders achieved a modest 1-0 away win over Girona. Salah scored the winning goal in that match from a penalty in the second half.
Disqualifications and injuries
Konate, Tsimikas, Jota, Chiesa and Bradley are all out with injuries. McAllister will serve a suspension.
Interesting trends for betting
- Liverpool have failed to win in the first half in four of their last five matches in all competitions
- Liverpool have scored at least two goals in their last seven Premier League games
- The goal swap bet has played in five of Liverpool last seven Premier League games
Tentative line-up: Kelleher - Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson - Gravenberch, Jones - Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo - Nunez.
Fulham
EnglandCurrent form
Fulham are spending another season as a solid mid-table Premier League team. The Cottagers are capable of surprising and taking points from top rivals, but they clearly lack the class to regularly deal with not the most formidable opponents over the long term. Thus, over the last five rounds, Marco Silva charges have not lost to Tottenham (1:1) and Arsenal (1:1), but managed to suffer a crushing defeat at home from Wolverhampton (1:4).
In the tournament table, Fulham after 15 rounds occupies a fairly usual tenth place with 23 points in the asset. There is still an opportunity to fight for the European Cups, the gap from Aston Villa in sixth place is only two points.
The home field factor does not always help the "summer residents", although they managed to score 14 points on their home field. However, it should be noted that Aston Villa (3:1) and Wolverhampton (4:1) took victories from London. As you can see, Fulham tries to play more boldly in attack at home, which often leads to failures in defense, after all, the team is most dangerous when playing second fiddle.
Disqualifications and injuries
Carney and Bassey will serve suspensions, while Andersen, Reed and Nelson are out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Fulham have not lost in the first half in their last five matches
- Both teams have scored in eight of Fulham last nine Premier League games
- In the last four personal meetings, the "summer residents" have hit the gates of "Liverpool"
Probable line-up: Leno - Tete, Diop, Cuenca, Robinson - Lukic, Berge - Iwobi, Smith-Rowe, Wilson - Jimenez.

1.65Tip and bets
Fulham have taken points from tough opponents more than once this season, but they are unlikely to do so today. Liverpool allowed themselves to slip up in the last round against Newcastle, and the team is unlikely to lose points for the second time in a row. The Cottagers were largely lucky against Arsenal, as the opponent did not realize many chances. The problems in defense have not gone away, especially against the backdrop of the loss of two central defenders. We think that the Merseysiders will confidently earn their three points due to a strong attacking line, where Salah does not slow down.
Our prediction is a Liverpool win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.90
Bet on total
After three goals conceded by Newcastle, Arne Slot worked with his players on their mistakes and the Merseysiders played to a clean sheet against Girona in the Champions League. We expect that today the Liverpool team will work reliably in defense, achieve victory with their class, and the total will not exceed three goals. Moreover, in three of the five previous face-to-face matches, more than three goals were not scored.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on the exact difference in the score
It should be noted that in three of the five previous victorious matches, Liverpool won with a two-goal advantage. We expect in the forecast that today the hosts will achieve a comfortable victory in the same style.
Prediction: Liverpool win by two goals with odds of 4.20
