Live on ITV4: Thurs 17.00: Liverpool are Stan James’ 19/5 underdogs in their lastest Europa League clash but can snatch a draw in Russia.
Liverpool head to Russia to face commentator’s nightmare Anzhi Makhachkala in the Europa League and with Reds boss Brendan Rodgers likely to rest several other key figures, his team are Stan James’ 19/5 outsiders.
The big-spending hosts are 5/6 courtesy of Ladbrokes but Liverpool defeated Guus Hiddink’s side in the reverse fixture at Anfield, largely dominating against the Russian outfit and even with an inexperienced line up Rodgers’ stubborn charges can pick up a result and a case can be made for a stalemate in the Dynamo Stadium, where bet365 quote the draw at a generous 14/5.
Elsewhere, BetVictor post 13/2 against it finishing one-apiece in a match that is 11/10 (Stan James) to see both teams find the net while Stewart Downing is as high as 9/1 with bet365 to score at any time; odds that look rather high given that the winger struck the winner when the pair met a fortnight ago.
Recommended Bets:
Anzhi Makhachkala and Liverpool to draw 1-1 – 13/2 (BetVictor)
