1.41Tip and bets
It's been a pleasure watching Liverpool play this season. The team is the main favorite in all English tournaments and may well compete for the Champions League. "Plymouth" in its current state can hardly do anything against such an opponent, and the main task for the hosts is to maintain registration in the Championship. Even with the rotation, the Merseysiders should win a crushing victory.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (-2.5) for Liverpool in 2.12
Bet on the total
The rivals met twice in 2017, also in the cup competition. Back then, only one goal was scored in two matches. Nevertheless, Liverpool is much stronger now, and Plymouth is now playing in the second strongest division. We believe that this time the opponents will not disappoint the fans and will show high performance.
Our forecast is a total of more than 3.5 goals in 1.93
Betting on corners
The visitors will clearly seize the initiative from the very first minute and will put pressure on the opponent for the entire 90 minutes. This should lead to a big advantage for Liverpool in corner kicks.
Our forecast is an Asian head start (-5.5) on Liverpool corners in 1.94
