Premier League, Wednesday, 24.04.2024
Relegation worries meet championship hopes. The Toffees and the Reds face each other in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday evening.
Both sides celebrated important victories at the weekend to achieve their goals. But for one of them, the lucky streak is now over.
Find out who that will be and which bookmakers offer the best odds in my Everton Liverpool betting tip!
Where it says relegation battle on it, there is currently a relegation battle inside. Coach Sean Dyche’s men have recently notched up two eminently important victories.
Two weeks ago, they narrowly won 1:0 at home against Burnley, and last weekend they beat Nottingham Forest 2:0
The triumph, which was not entirely without incident due to refereeing decisions, means they are now five points clear of the relegation zone!
Now they want to go one better. In the games during the week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), however, they only won one of nine attempts (3U, 5N).
The Reds’ record in Wednesday games is completely different. They have won each of their last 12 games on this day of the week.
They have scored 33 goals and conceded just five. Will the visitors be able to celebrate another scoring feast this time?
In the goal predictions for the Everton Liverpool betting tip, oddsmakers such as Oddset predict odds of just 1.40 if LFC score at least twice.
But caution is advised: The Toffees have managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last two home games. They know how to defend
If in doubt, the home side must be able to pull the coal out of the fire and keep at least one point at Goodison Park.
Ashley Young was sent off in the first leg. It was the 16th red card the Toffees had received in this clash.
With 23 sending-offs, the Merseyside derby is the Premier League clash with the most of its kind
Speaking of derbies: Jürgen Klopp could become the first Reds manager to win ten local duels in the Premier League.
He has won nine of 16 so far with his team (6U, 1N), winning four of the last five. They have even kept a clean sheet in the last four!
Will it be the same this time? In the Betway app, you can find odds of around 2.40 for your Everton Liverpool bet if the Toffees don’t score
One player who has been an important factor up front for Dyche’s side this season is Dwight McNeil. The attacking player has been directly involved in eight goals so far (5 goals, 3 assists).
However, he has yet to score directly against the Reds in ten matches. With both the Toffees and Burnley
On the other hand, Mo Salah is once again a man in demand. He scored a brace in the first leg in October, almost single-handedly forcing a 2-0 win at Anfield Road.
It won’t be easy again for the Reds to pick up the three points here. As we all know, derbies always have their own rules.
What’s more, the hosts are in good form at the moment and have often been able to force at least close games against top teams at home. I therefore expect a close result.
My Everton Liverpool tip is: There will be less than 3.5 goals scored
