Liverpool vs Norwich City
This season Liverpool was given the mandate to open a new EPL campaign 2019/2020. They will act as host to entertain Norwich City at Anfield Stadium.
This will be the inaugural match of the Reds after receiving defeat from Man City in the Community Shield event. Of course they want to get up, especially if they have never lost against The Canary for 12 consecutive meetings with 10 wins and 2 draws and scored 39 goals and conceded only 13 times.
Liverpool also last season became the only EPL participant who has never suffered defeat as a host with 17 wins and 2 draws, scoring 55 goals and conceding only 10 times. This will be the first match against Norwich City after the last of the 2015/16 season they were held to a 1-1 draw at Anfield, then won 4-5 at Carrow Road.
Yes, Norwich City will play with the promotion team status after last season’s championship division championship. At that time they also became the best visitors with 12 wins, 9 draws and 2 defeats after scoring 42 goals and conceding 23 times.
Apart from that achievement, the lack of movement in the transfer market made supporters feel anxious, even though Liverpool themselves also haven’t gotten a “significant” purchase this summer, even though they haven’t been able to use the service of Sadio Mane who just returned from the Africa Cup of Nations. The match is predicted to be one-sided if you look in the mirror from Liverpool’s home record last season which could have been a disappointed remedy for Community Shield.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.35
