Liverpool vs Red Bull Salzburg
On Thursday Liverpool will host Red Bull Salzburg as hosts in the second week of Group C of UCL. The Reds aim for their first win after accepting defeat in the opening week. The clash opened at 02.00 WIB at Anfield Stadion.
Liverpool welcome tomorrow’s match with high motivation after maintaining a perfect EPL record until week 7. The note was received after Saturday (28/9) yesterday stole a mere puppet goal from Bramall Lane, home to Sheffield Utd. With this result, Jurgen Klopp’s troops remained at the top with a difference of five points from Man City.
Interestingly, Red Bull Salzburg will also arrive with a similar motivation after frustrating Austria Wien with a score of 4-1. Thanks to that victory, they also became the king of the Austrian League until the 9th week with 8 wins and 1 draw, aka never lost.
Capital is needed by the children of Jesse Marsch before appearing for the first time at Anfield. Reflecting from the first week, Red Bull Salzburg will be an interesting opponent after defeating Genk with a score of 6-2, while Liverpool are helpless at home to Napoli with a score of 2-0.
Red Bull Salzburg will reportedly field the same squad for tomorrow’s match by relying on Hwang Hee-Chan and Erling Haaland up front. Unfortunately, Antoine Bernedes is ruled out due to injury and his position will be replaced by Enock Mwepu.
Meanwhile, Liverpool began to get fresh air from Alisson who began training with his colleagues. However, it looks like they will save the Brazilian goalkeeper first by continuing to rely on Adrian. Georginio Wijnaldum himself will hope to appear from the beginning after the weekend yesterday to be a decisive victory despite entering from the bench.
The consistent appearance of each camp is predicted to make the game run tight. For Liverpool, they have the advantage of playing host, especially if this will be the first visit of Red Bull Salzburg to Anfield. Three points also become a fixed price, but they must play effectively to welcome Leicester City two days after the game later.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.30
