We recommend that you review our betting tip and choose your reliable betting options
Command Analysis
Fenerbahce
Current form
After losing the crucial Super League match against Galatasaray (1:2), Fenerbahce had a change of coach. Instead of Kartal, Dirk Kuyt, who worked as an assistant coach, temporarily led the team. Under the leadership of the Dutchman, a defeat against Geztepe was recorded (1:2). As a result, after ten rounds in the Super League, the yellow Canaries occupy only the sixth place, they are six points behind the top three.
In the Champions League, Fenerbahce can only score the opening match against Roma (1-1). In the second round, there was a crushing away defeat with a score of 0:6 from Aston Villa, and then they failed to beat Slavia Prague (2:2) at home. You can regularly see outright failures. They lost a two-goal advantage with the Czechs, and led 1-0 in the Super League with Geztepe until the 76th minute, but eventually lost 1-2.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fenerbahce have Ake, Oppong and Asensio on the injured list.
Interesting betting trends
In five of the last six matches Fenerbahce did not win on shots on target.
Fenerbahce has not won in four of the last six home matches.
The approximate squad: Ederson – Semedo, Shkrinyar, Demir, Brown – Kante, Genduzi – Aydin, Kahvedji, Kerem Akturkoglu – Lukaku.
Liverpool
Current form
Liverpool has been playing the most successfully in the Champions League since the beginning of the season. The Merseysiders scored the maximum nine points in three rounds and are among the leaders. So far, there has been only one match on the road against a noticeably inferior LASK in the class – a victory with a score of 6:3. Despite the winning streak, playing defense raises questions. In three matches, they never managed to score a goal, and Lask and Villarreal each conceded three goals.
In the Premier League, after nine rounds, Andoni Iraola's men are not in the top 4, they occupy fifth place with 16 points. The day before, a home defeat was recorded in a crucial match against Arsenal (0:1). Unlike in the Champions League, Liverpool have obvious attacking problems in the Premier League: only 11 goals scored, the worst score in the top 6.
Disqualifications and injuries
Frimpong, Bradley, Leonie and Ekitike will not play in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last four matches with Liverpool, more than one goal was scored in the first half.
Liverpool players have been offside less often than their opponents in three of the last four matches.
Fenerbahce is approaching the upcoming match after two consecutive defeats in the Super League from Galatasaray and Goztepe. The change of coach did not immediately have a positive effect, the problems in defense and the failures in the endings did not disappear anywhere. For the acting head coach Dirk Kuyt, the upcoming match is crucial, because he played for Liverpool for six years. However, the Dutchman has no experience coaching at such a high level, tactically Andoni Iraola is able to beat Dirk Kuyt.
For all its instability, Liverpool is undefeated in the Champions League, and the attack is working well (12 goals scored). It is unlikely that Fenerbahce, with its defensive problems, will cope with the onslaught of the Merseysiders, where Barkola and Isak are able to provide the desired result in the attack.
Our betting tip is for Liverpool to win with an Asian handicap (-1) for a coefficient of 1.82
In the Champions League, Liverpool are happy with their productive game, they play themselves, scoring 12 goals, and they allow their opponents a lot at their own goal (seven goals conceded). At least three goals were scored in all matches involving the Merseysiders. Fenerbahce have Lukaku in attack, who doesn't need many chances to score. There is a high probability that the upcoming game will be effective.
The second bet is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.72
Betting on corners
Liverpool is constantly aiming at other people's goals, it is no coincidence that they have won six matches in a row from corners. We expect that today the Merseysiders will have the initiative and will be able to complete more serves from the corner flag than their opponents.
Prediction – Liverpool win on corners with a handicap (-1.5) with a coefficient of 1.80
